Chess Griffin recently completed estate planning documents for my wife and me. We were very pleased with the professional and friendly service we received. We highly recommend Chess for estate planning services.

My wife and I were very impressed with Chess (Charles) during the entire process of updating our will and trust! The process went smoothly and Chess was professional and helpful throughout the process. I know that when we need to make changes or updates, the process will be just as easy.

We had the pleasure of working with Charles (Chess) Griffin who assisted us in updating our trust and will. We recently moved to the Raleigh area and had purchased a home here, one in California and I had inherited farm land in Indiana. His guidance and assistance in getting the properties into the trust, along with changing our now adult children to successor trustees was so helpful. It was a huge relief to get this updated and checked off our "to do" list. I'd also like to give a shout out to the office staff as well. All so kind, helpful and professional. If you are looking for help with your estate planning, you can't go wrong with this firm.

My husband and I finally finished our Estate Planning. We are 78 and it should have been done years ago. We had so many questions and Chess Griffin heard and answered each one. He is so easy to work with and very personable which put us at ease. Family and friends highly recommended Chess so we trusted his recommendations and are sending a family member to him. Thank you Chess for helping us achieve peace of mind that our wishes and needs can be implemented without difficulty in the future.

Mr. Griffin worked with my husband and I with our legal estate plan. We worked with him during COVID-19, so we did our work by Zoom and telephone. Despite these limitation, I believe that Mr. Griffin got to know us and delivered legal documents that totally met our needs

We have been working with Chess for years and we would not think about going to another attorney. he is kind, sincere and trustworthy. I come from a whole family of attorneys in another state...father ( He was also a judge), two brothers and a son. I would recommend him to anyone

Chess was an excellent choice to review our situation and guide us through estate planning. He was thorough and explained varios options and rational for making certain decisions. Once going through the planning process, he was very efficient in completing our documents. We were very satisfied with the finished documents, and appreciated his professionalism.

We had a fantastic experience with Chess. He was thorough and helpful and just a really down to earth and nice guy. We recommend him to everyone we know.

We are exceptionally pleased with the personal care and understanding of our needs which Chess demonstrated to my wife and I. His explanations were thorough and comprehensive as he patiently addressed all of our questions. We highly recommend Chess to anyone with estate planning needs.

My wife and I needed a complete review and re-write of all of our estate planning documents; our revocable trust needed to be cancelled; and we needed to understand any impacting differences between North Carolina law and the laws of our previous residence (Canada). Chess Griffin and his legal team covered all those bases in just two face-to-face meetings. Our trust has been cancelled, all of our estate planning documents are updated (wills, powers of attorney, living wills and health care documents), and we both feel comfortable that we understand anything unique to North Carolina that could affect us one way or another. Chess brought two invaluable, complimentary skills to the table in his effort to meet our needs - first, his listening skills are exceptional, and, second, he is highly skilled at communicating all of the legal concepts and requirements in simple language. The turn-around time and document accuracy provided by his team members was just as exceptional. Finally, his fees are more than fair and reasonable. We are both beyond satisfied with the legal services Chess provided us - we are delighted!

We recently worked with Chess Griffin on our estate plan and found the experience to be very positive. Chess is easy to speak with, and he took the time to explain everything to us and answer my many questions.

Working with Mr. Griffin on our estate plan was a great experience. He was very thorough and we felt completely confident in his expertise. He explained the complexities of the laws in a straightforward and understandable manner, and accommodated all of our requests. We are pleased and relieved to have those documents in place for when they are needed.
