I got James as my attorney after my final agreement had been signed. James had to fight to get the final agreement changed because I would have been paying her bills for the rest of her life. He worked with me when my money ran out and trusted I would pay him later. He discounted my fees because he knew I had been taken advantage of. He gave me other legal advice not related to divorce. When you are with James you really feel like he is on your side and not just trying to close a deal. The only problem is he is so good that he stays busy a lot. Do yourself a favor if you need a divorce attorney. Hire James.

James handled a complex child custody jury trial. He was excellent in keeping us informed of every thing that was happening ( explaining it so we understood ). The opposing attorney was a very aggresive somewhat known but James far surpassed him with his professionalism, calmness and being prepared. He is top notch. If ever in need of legal services he is the man to contact.

Bradley Bellows was a wonderful, informative, and strong handed lawyer during my divorce matters. He was thorough, patient, strategic, and logical which can be hard in matters where emotions are high. Not only was I navigating a divorce case but also a criminal case against my ex husband and with Mr.Bellows advocacy and agency I was able to find a balance for my child’s wellbeing while also respecting my own autonomy in the matter. I will continue to refer him to friends and family alike looking for someone who is trustworthy, level headed and an advocate for sound minded law. Thank you for everything you did for my family! Forever grateful.

The first lawyer who sat down on a Saturday night on his own time to dissect our case and get full knowledge of what has happened over 6 years. I got sole custody as a father and since mom wanted to play games he got the court to award attorney fees. The case was so solid she did not even show up for fear of incarceration. If you want a lawyer who will trim the fat and present your case with everything a Judge will want, your hearing could last all of 10 minutes and finally your nightmare could be over. Mr. Jass really knows his way around the Texas court system.

David Schafer wasted no time getting to work taking care of her and my family’s needs!

If you find yourself in need of a DWI attorney who is not only highly skilled but also genuinely committed to getting you the best possible outcome, look no further than Mr. George Scharmen. From the moment I reached out for a consultation, I was impressed by his professionalism and expertise in handling DWI cases. One of the standout qualities of Mr. Scharmen is his strategic approach to each case. He took the time to thoroughly review the details of my situation, identify key legal issues, and develop a solid defense strategy. This level of preparation instilled confidence in me that my case was in capable hands.

What a very pleasant experience we had with Ms. Barriga. We, like most people, put off having Wills or Living Wills done because we don't know what all it intails. A lot of people tend to think it is too hard to go through the process. We were no different in feeling that way. Ms Barriga made us feel relaxed and comfortable when exposing our personal needs and requests. She certainly made the right choice in choosing her field and we certainly made the right choice in choosing her. We have recommended her to our employees and to our families.

Gladys Del Fierro is the best attorney ever. She help us in a juvenile drug charge case. She ended up getting us deferred prosecution which is like a dismissal with minimal probation time. Previous lawyers, the DA, the probation officer all said this could not happen but our lawyer made it happen. Amazing. Just wish i had known about her sooner and my child would not have had to wait 3mths on house arrest. Everyone I spoke to talked about how difficult Judge Kelsey's court is and that my child had little hope. Our impression of the court was changed by our lawyer Gladys Del Fierro, With the proper attorney everything is possible. We needed to hire an attorney out of pocket and she gave us an extremely reasonable rate. Thanks again Ms Del Fierro.

I had an attorney who kept trying to get me to agree to joint custody when I kept my daughter the majority of the time. A friend recommended Mr. Wake and said he did a great job with her divorce. Mr. Wake agreed with me that I should not have to agree to him paying no child support and getting my daughter half the time. Mr. Wake also told me that his lawyer was going to try to intimidate me with lots of discovery and other costly procedures once he came on board and let them know I wanted primary custody and my dead beat husband needed to pay child support. Well sure enough, we had to answer a bunch of dumb questions and produce a bunch of useless documents. Mr. Wake subpoenaed my ex's payroll records and set it for trial. He couldn't figure out why my old attorney hadn't ever set it for trial when it had been nearly 1 1/2 years since we filed. As Mr. Wake expected, when we showed up for trial, they suddenly were agreeing that I should have custody but still wanted to pay about half the child support with promises to pay for other things. Mr. Wake advised against it so we had a hearing on the support and attorney's fees. The judge gave me custody, $923.47 a month in child support (not the $450 they offered), $17,545.93 in child support arrears (that was for the 19 months he hadn't paid anything since he moved out) and a $4,500 judgment for Attorney's fees (although, Mr. Wake said I may never collect that but he recorded the judgment anyway). I was so worried about how I was going to barely get by when my prior attorney wanted me to agree top no child support. Thank goodness for my attorney, Kenneth L. Wake, Jr. Highly recommended!

David had been placed as my lawyer on a case against my ex boyfriend who had spanked my daughter so hard it left bruses, and CPS.CPS had ended up placing the kids with my mother even though i had nothing to do with what had happened. David took the case in strides he was very up front with a plan and never backed down. he always reasured me he would do everything he could to make sure my kids came home to me. The second to last court hearing CPS threw a curve ball at us, they were in agreement for the kids to come home and then in front of the judge they backed out of that and David took over and faught for me he never backed down. he put in a motion and got me the kids back a month later. he was amazing he never complained with the late night calls, emails and questions. he was great if i was to ever have another problem i would definitely want him on my side.

First, I normally do not rate anyone excellent unless they really deserve it, but if you work with this man, I think you will agree. Walter is not the typical attorney in brightly shined shoes, thousand dollar suits driving a Lamborghini car. He wears boots, jeans and although I don't know what kind of vehicle he drives, I would bet it's a truck. He has an office that makes you feel very comfortable and at home; good parking too. My husband and I have been dealing with Walter for many years on property rentals, sales and foreclosures. My parents used him for all their needs. He handled our real estate issues from start to finish with no headaches for us to deal with. We totally trust his judgement, which has been to our advantage. If you want a legal matter done quickly, less trouble on your part, and with good results plus at a reasonable price, call this attorney, you will not regret it. He handles wills also, just in case you haven't done that yet.

Mr. Garcia is an attorney that you can rely on. We thought that all was lost and that no one could help us get our visitations with my step-son, but he came through, when one other attorney would not bother until she got her money. We are still seeing Mr. Garcia and he is still helping us. Thank you Mr. Garcia for being there and still helping us out. You are our blessing ....

What a Probate Lawyer Can Do for You

A probate lawyer assists with the legal process of administering a deceased person’s estate. This often involves guiding executors (if a will exists) or beneficiaries (if no will exists) through the probate process to settle the estate according to the deceased’s wishes or applicable laws. Probate lawyers can help validate the will, distribute assets, resolve disputes among heirs, handle outstanding debts or taxes, and ensure the estate is legally and efficiently administered.

Whether you’re an executor of an estate or an heir facing probate proceedings, a probate lawyer can help you navigate the often-complex legal process to ensure the estate is settled correctly.

When Should I Hire a Probate Lawyer?

You should consider hiring a probate lawyer when you are responsible for managing the estate of a deceased individual, especially in the following situations:

  • The estate has substantial assets: If the estate includes significant assets like real estate, investments, or business interests, legal assistance is often necessary to handle the distribution properly.
  • The will is being contested: If there are disputes among heirs regarding the validity of the will or the division of assets, a probate lawyer can help resolve the conflict.
  • The estate includes complex or unclear provisions: If the will contains complicated instructions or there are no clear beneficiaries, a lawyer can ensure that the estate is administered according to legal requirements.
  • There is no will (intestate estate): When a person dies without a will, the estate is subject to intestacy laws, which determine how assets are distributed. A probate lawyer can help navigate this process.
  • Debt or tax issues exist: If the estate owes significant debts or is subject to estate taxes, a probate lawyer can help ensure debts are paid appropriately and taxes are minimized.
  • Probate disputes: If family members or other parties are disputing the distribution of assets or challenging the executor's actions, legal representation is crucial to defending your rights and ensuring the estate is handled properly.

Hiring a probate lawyer early in the process can help avoid costly mistakes and ensure the estate is settled efficiently.

What Does a Probate Lawyer Do?

A probate lawyer provides a wide range of legal services to help manage and settle an estate. Their tasks can include:

  • Validating the will: Filing the will with the probate court and ensuring its legal validity.
  • Guiding executors or administrators: Advising the person responsible for managing the estate on their duties, including inventorying assets, notifying creditors, and paying debts.
  • Filing necessary paperwork: Preparing and submitting the legal documents required to initiate and complete the probate process.
  • Resolving disputes: Mediating or litigating disputes among heirs or between beneficiaries and executors, including challenges to the will or disagreements over asset distribution.
  • Handling debt and tax matters: Ensuring that outstanding debts, taxes, and estate taxes are properly calculated and paid from the estate’s assets.
  • Distributing assets: Ensuring that assets are distributed to the beneficiaries according to the will or intestacy laws, and that all legal requirements are fulfilled.
  • Closing the estate: Completing the final steps of the probate process, including filing a final accounting with the court and formally closing the estate.

How Are Probate Lawyers Paid?

Probate lawyers typically charge for their services based on the complexity of the estate and the nature of the legal work involved. Common payment structures include:

  • Hourly rate: Most probate lawyers charge by the hour, with rates depending on the lawyer’s experience and the complexity of the estate. Hourly rates can range from $150 to $500 or more.
  • Flat fee: For simple estates or straightforward probate tasks, some lawyers may charge a flat fee that covers all of the necessary legal work.
  • Percentage of the estate: In some states, probate lawyers are allowed to charge a percentage of the estate's value as their fee. This percentage typically ranges from 2% to 5%, depending on the size of the estate and state regulations.
  • Retainer fee: Some lawyers may require an upfront retainer fee, which is billed against as the probate process progresses.

It’s important to clarify the fee structure during your initial consultation to understand how you will be charged and avoid unexpected costs.

How Much Does a Probate Lawyer Cost?

The cost of hiring a probate lawyer depends on several factors, including the complexity of the estate, the type of legal issues involved, and the lawyer’s fee structure. General cost estimates include:

  • Simple estates: For estates with straightforward assets and no disputes, probate legal fees can range from $2,500 to $10,000, depending on the lawyer's fees and the state's probate laws.
  • Complex estates: For larger or more complicated estates with multiple properties, business interests, or disputes, probate costs can exceed $10,000 and may reach $20,000 or more.
  • Hourly rates: If charged by the hour, expect rates between $150 and $500, depending on the lawyer’s expertise and geographic location.
  • Percentage fees: In some cases, a probate lawyer may charge 2% to 5% of the estate’s value, particularly for larger estates or those involving complex legal matters.

Always ask for a clear estimate of fees during your initial consultation to understand the total cost of probate representation.

Top Questions to Ask a Probate Lawyer

Before hiring a probate lawyer, it’s essential to ask the right questions to ensure you’re hiring someone qualified to handle your estate needs. Key questions include:

  1. What experience do you have with probate cases like mine?
    Ensure the lawyer has experience with estates of similar complexity, especially if disputes or high-value assets are involved.
  2. How do you charge for your services?
    Ask whether the lawyer charges an hourly rate, a flat fee, or a percentage of the estate, and request a cost estimate.
  3. What is the likely timeline for my probate case?
    While it’s hard to predict exactly, an experienced lawyer can give you a general idea of how long the probate process may take based on the specifics of your estate.
  4. What steps will you take to manage and distribute the estate?
    Ask about the lawyer’s approach to handling debts, taxes, and asset distribution.
  5. Will you be handling my case personally?
    In larger firms, junior attorneys or paralegals may handle some aspects of your case, so it’s important to know who will be working on your probate case.
  6. What are potential challenges we may face?
    A good lawyer will be able to anticipate possible issues, such as will contests or creditor claims, and explain how they would handle them.

How to Check the Credibility of a Probate Lawyer

To ensure you’re hiring a reputable probate lawyer, follow these steps to check their credentials and experience:

  • Verify their state bar status: Check with your state’s bar association to confirm the lawyer is licensed to practice and has no history of disciplinary action.
  • Look for probate experience: Review the lawyer’s website or professional profile to ensure they specialize in probate law and have experience handling estates of similar complexity.
  • Read client reviews and testimonials: Look for online reviews on platforms like Avvo or Martindale-Hubbell to see what past clients have said about the lawyer’s probate experience.
  • Ask for references: A credible lawyer should be able to provide references from past clients who can vouch for their professionalism and expertise in handling probate matters.
  • Look for membership in professional organizations: Membership in organizations like the American Academy of Estate Planning Attorneys (AAEPA) or the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys (NAELA) can indicate a lawyer's commitment to estate and probate law.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To make the most out of your first consultation with a probate lawyer, it’s important to come prepared with relevant documents and information. Here’s what you should bring:

  • A copy of the will or trust (if applicable): Bring any estate planning documents left by the deceased, including wills, trusts, or powers of attorney.
  • List of assets and debts: Prepare a detailed list of the deceased’s assets (e.g., real estate, bank accounts, investments) and outstanding debts (e.g., loans, mortgages, credit cards).
  • Death certificate: Bring a certified copy of the deceased person’s death certificate.
  • Contact information for heirs and beneficiaries: Have a list of all individuals or entities named in the will or who are entitled to inherit under intestacy laws.
  • Questions about the probate process: Write down any questions you have about the process, costs, and potential issues you might face.
  • Relevant financial records: If available, bring any relevant financial documents, such as bank statements, property deeds, and tax returns.

By coming prepared, you can ensure a productive consultation and allow the lawyer to provide the best advice for your situation.
