Great assistance in setting up our Will and Trusts. Very professional and we highly recommend their services to anyone. JR & Joann McCulloch, Germantown MD.

Jim Hyatt has provided us with excellent service for our estate planning. Jim is very professional and knowledgeable of all aspects of estate planning, living wills and power of attorney documents. It has been a pleasure working with Jim and his assistant Amy.

James Hyatt explained thoroughly how to set up a trust. He was extremely patient in answering all our questions (and we had a lot of questions!!). Also the fixed fee for setting up our trust was reasonable. He and his assistant Ms. Toole were very thorough in all the paperwork and communications so we were not left wondering how proceed. We will be happy to continue to work with him in the future.

Jim Hyatt is an excellent estate attorney and keeps up to date with the new laws and regulations.. He is easy to talk to and suggests options depending on your situation. I strongly recommend him and have done so to my friends.

I needed help in administering an estate under very difficult circumstances. James A. Hyatt and his associates provided the very best advice and service in a way that was sensitive and professional. They are easy to communicate with and are prompt and thorough. I am very glad that I was referred to them by my accountant and I recommend them to anyone who needs help with estates or estate planning.

Jim has worked with our family for close to ten years now with estate planning and setting up both living trusts and irrevocable trusts. He and his assistant are the ultimate professionals: knowledgeable, trustworthy, and able to explain options and procedures and answer any questions along the way. One word to sum them up? Integrity.

Our experience with James Hyatt was extremely positive. My husband and I needed an attorney to update our estate plan and Jim was very professional and efficient. We were impressed from the start when his assistant Amy asked for a copy of our current estate plan (a thick binder) for Jim to review prior to our first “no charge” consultation meeting. After reviewing our plan, he clearly outlined the “issues” with our current plan and revised it in several areas to make it more streamlined and appropriate for our goals. He was patient and receptive to our questions, and always responded quickly. Jim definitely knows his “business” and exudes a trustworthy demeanor. We wished we had found him earlier and saved ourselves from the more costly experience with our first estate attorney. We would certainly return to James Hyatt for future estate plan needs.

I highly recommend Mr. Hyatt. He is professional, and thorough. He explained our options and the benefits of each when we set up our estate. He was very helpful when we settled my father's estate.

Jim Hyatt has handled a variety of estate planning issues for my wife and I, my mom, and my aunt. His work has been consistently timely, competent, and cost efficient -- he quoted me reasonable prices and stood by those prices; there was no price “creep” with minor issue clarifications and refinements. Most particularly, I have always appreciated his patient way of explaining legal matters not readily clear to me. I recommend him without qualification.

I recommend James Hyatt to anyone who needs help with their estate

James was extremely knowledgeable and very helpful in guiding us through our estate planning.He provided us with a peace of mind knowing that activity was complete. We intend to see him annually to update the plan. Would highly recommend.
