Jeff helped us create our first POA and Will and Testament. He was immensely helpful in the process, answering our questions and providing guidance. He was prompt, professional, and personable with excellent communication skills.

Jeffrey L. Austin, Law Office of JLA, was most helpful in representing me in the matter of my late husband’s estate. He answered my questions, was accommodating in arranging meetings, and updated me on the progress of matters at the courthouse whether I had filed them or he had on my behalf. With the legal work completed, Jeff informed me that I have access to the case file at the courthouse as well as access to electronic copies of the case files through his client portal. I will continue to ask his help when needed with other matters.

Jeff accepted our business to build out our estate planning. He is relatable, professional and compassionate. He was incredibly flexible to meet our needs. He answered our questions in a timely manner and made the entire process seamless. We highly recommend Jeff!

Handled will update & simplified certain legal matters in original will. Held several in person meetings to obtain all necessary information. Gave us the information we needed to make final decisions on certain matters. His follow up on all matters was superb.

We recently moved to Durham and needed to have our will and documents updated to meet NC parameters. Jeff Austin consulted with us and very clearly explained what should be changed. He answered our questions and proceeded to do the work carefully and efficiently. He was great to work with, we will use his services as needed and will definitely recommend him to others.

After we moved to North Carolina, Jeff Austin helped us update our wills, trusts, POA's, Medical Directives and End of Life documents. It was a pleasure to work with him, his communication skills are excellent, and his work was done efficiently and competently. He knew what we needed, took an interest in our life and was available if we had questions. We posted an enthusiastic recommendation for Jeff on our community forum.

Was a great experience. You want to do something this sensitive with someone who listens, understands and holds your hand through all the possibilities, probabilities, paperwork and potholes - and does it professionally and personably. Thank you, Jeff! You exceeded our expectations for this whole experience. We feel cared for. Allison &Mike

Mr. Austin prepared my will and other estate forms. He was very professional at all times and reduced any stress I might have felt. He was very kind and gave me good information with which to make decisions. We encountered a few issues as to meeting for signature and his patience was very much appreciated.

Excellent work. I highly recommend him to others. He was thorough and considered all possibilities and ramifications. As a retired Attorney myself I consider his work top notch. Wholeheartedly recommend him to others who need a good listener and legal practitioner.

I liked working with Jeff very much. His pleasant and caring personality made me feel at ease talking about private and delicate matters. He prepared my will, financial and health directives documents. Rapport was established when he came to my home for the initial orientation and was relaxed when I put him on hold for almost a year while I solved other problems. He was always willing to explain the intricacies of estate law in North Carolina and even in other jurisdictions. We even did a Zoom session in which he clarified all my doubts with clarity and patience. We signed the documents at my home to make social distancing easier. I recommend Jeff strongly and will undoubtedly seek his services again if the need arise. Thank you Jeff!

Jeff Austin prepared my documents regarding POA both financial and medical as well as a general Will for my estate. I found Jeff both friendly, accessible and responsive as well as informed, able to clarify answers to any questions or concerns from me and to do so promptly and with courtesy. I would highly recommend working with Jeff Austin as your attorney.
