great listener, actually sought to understand the situation before giving advice. Initially work (Trust) done for us, but then we sent our adult children to him for same planning. Only complaint is that we did not go to him years ago.

I contacted Mr. Hancock after his name was given to me by a good friend. I had asked her if she knew of attorney who would be able to help my senior mother prepare a Last Will and Testament, Power of Attorney, Financial and Medical Power of Attorney, and not charge her an amount that would cause a coronary. I also wanted someone that she would feel comfortable with, and Mr. Hancock was the perfect lawyer for her. He was not only very welcoming, he was very understanding that my mom has early on-set dementia, and was able to communicate with her on a level where she was able to explain what she wanted included her the will. I am getting ready to have my own Will and PofA's done and will definitely be contacting Mr Franklin to prepare these for me.

Mr. Hancock has helped me with commercial property leases and defaults to such. A last will and testament. He has also helped me with breech of business contract matters. My needs were bizarre to say the least! Now he is involved in a personal injury case for me. He does an ironclad job on everything. He is always prompt, FAIR, knowledgable, and goes far above and beyond to assist. He is like a very smart good friend.

My wife and I (both in our 50s) sought his advice on setting up our estate plan. We have a very "unusual" ("disastrous" might be a better word) family situation and we were at our wits end. We have talked with about 10 other attorneys about the situation and none offered a decent suggestion. Mr. Hancock is the first one who actually took plenty of time and listened. Not only did he understand, he then made many thoughtful imaginative suggestions and observations, and for the first time in years we had a plan with which we are more than satisfied. We will never again talk with another about estates. He was that good.

I actually had several legal matters to speak to him about. He listened very careful, asked questions, and never rushed me. One of the matters he could not handle and gave me name and phone number of someone else to call. He is refreshing as he returns phone calls and cares. I wish there were more like him out there. He no longer does litigation, but if you need someone with good advice and really wants to help his clients, call him.

I have to say that Mr. Hancock is a gentleman who lends credibility to his profession. Though he helped me a few years ago, I came across this profile, saw that he doesn't have any reviews and was surprised. He was able to help me file a mechanic's lien and prepare for a lawsuit against a non-paying client, and helped me every step of the way. We never had to go to court, which I believe was due to his professionalism and clear advice. When the client finally paid the bill, Mr. Hancock followed through with the preparation of the release of lien and provided specific information as to what needed to occur to resolve the matter legally. I highly recommend his office to anyone seeking a good lawyer who is a good man with a great staff.
