Reviews

We had a trust prepared in 2010 by a law firm in Virginia. When we recently moved to North Carolina, we knew we needed to update our trust to conform with North Carolina law. The trust that was originally prepared for us contained a great deal of boiler plate trust language and was nearly 100 pages. While it achieved our basic requirements, it was confusing with some language that didn't really apply to us or fit our circumstances. After reviewing our trust and listening to how we wanted our estate handled, BJ suggested doing a restatement of trust rather than simply amending our existing trust, which would have made our original trust even more confusing. We took BJs advice and he produced a restatement of trust that achieved all of our goals and requirements and did that in a document that was clear and concise; with all of this accomplished in a document one third the length of our original trust. We are extremely pleased with the BJ's diligence and professionalism. He listened and understood what we wanted and our trust reflects that. We strong recommend retaining BJ for your estate planning. We are confident you will be as pleased as we are.

We were referred to the law firm by my MBA law professor. We did not know BJ at all, but I will say he was excellent. He was very patient with us, answered all of our questions thoroughly, and he gave us many things to consider with our decisions that we would never have thought of. Everyone should have a state specific will prepared. BJ Killgore is the attorney you need to get this done.

Mr Kilgore made the whole process less confusing, explained each topic thoroughly and helped me understand my choices. Perhaps most important was the timeliness with which he turned around documents from concept to conclusion. I had an upcoming surgery and was working with a deadline and he ensure everything was completed ahead of that date.

Mr Kilgore listined to my needs and fulfilled my requests in a professional manner. He was able to give me good sound advise to help me make some important descisions reguarding my estate......I feel secure knowing this was taking care of proffesionally.

My wife and I engaged Mr. Kilgore to review our health care and estate planning documents (drafted several years ago by another attorney), make recommendations, and to amend one document in an unusual, difficult-to-draft way. All of this he did with great care and skill, raising questions we hadn’t thought about despite our having some experience in these things. A less thoughtful, perfunctory and more boiler-plate oriented adviser, for example, may well have let one of my suggestions slide through–a perfectly legal but potentially disastrous suggestion. Mr. Kilgore immediately recognized the problem and raised a cautionary flag. He’s personable and approachable. He listens carefully and explains clearly. My wife and I have great confidence in him not just as our estates and trusts lawyer, but as a dependable resource who will get us to the right person if a different kind of legal problem comes along. He cares.

I hired Mr. Kilgore to prepare my Last Will & Testament, Living Will, and Health Care & General Powers of Attorney. Mr. Kilgore took exceptional care to explain each document to me and, based on our consultation and my responses to a detailed questionnaire. drafted documentation that included several comments in the margin (provided by Mr. Kilgore) explaining certain sections' relevance to my personal situation, and to NC State Law. He listened to my feedback and we finished the documents using an iterative process. I was very happy with the final documents, and most importantly I understood exactly what I was signing and executing. Mr. Kilgore is knowledgeable and thoughtful, and an excellent estate planning specialist.

It was a pleasure hiring and working with Mr Kilgore. He treated me like I was his only client. What stood out about him was how responsive he was. He would get back to me on weekends and at all hours of the night via email. I never felt like he didn't share my sense of urgency with my case. He was also extremely knowledgeable and helped me through a very complex situation involving my divorce. He was the best professional I ever worked with. I would highly recommend his services.

Samuel didnt take a lot of time to understand my case and my situation. During the trial he didnt complicate the case instead he was sticking to the basics to defent my case. Overall i had a good experience with Mr. B. J and i would recommend him. The only bad experience i had was when he asked me to consent after spending so much time and money on the case and when we had a fair chance of winning the case. From his point he was giving me all the options i have but consent was never an option. He carefully listened to the trials of other cases on that day, understood how the judge was reacting to the cases. He was well prepared for the case by collecting all the evidense and documents.

BJ did a wonderful job helping my husband and me with our estate planning documents. We executed our Wills, Power of Attorney, and Guardianship with BJ's help. He was professional, quick to respond to any questions we had during the process, and was very knowledgeable and detail oriented. BJ provided great client service and he made the process easy!

My wife and I had the great pleasure to work with BJ on estate planning services. BJ did a great job walking us through the process and answering any questions we had on the documents. He did not rush us through the process and showed great flexibility in working with us, when we had personal issues to handle. I would consider BJ a trustworthy and personable attorney, which are two key qualities essential for someone you would trust to handle such important matters.

Hold on to your wallet. Before you know it your bill will be sky high and you will be worse off then if you had represented yourself. BJ is new and I am sure he will get better with time but I regret picking him to be my attorney.

I could not have been more pleased with the representation that I received from Samuel Rea Kilgore III. He was very easy to communicate with and displayed that he truly cared about my best interests. I would highly recommend him to anyone who was in search of such services.
