I recently went through an 8 day trial with Bruce Burt. He and his paralegal Melissa were so professional and very supportive throughout this difficult time for us. They were there to answer any questions I had leading up to the trial. During the trial they were very prepared and knowledgeable and knew the case inside and out! I would highly recommend Burt and Payne for any and all your legal needs!

Mr. Prater prepared a complicated estate plan for my parents. He made certain he knew exactly how they wanted things done. He prepared quality paperwork that accomplished exactly what they wanted. His prices were extremely reasonable. He responded to our questions and later contacted us about changes in the law and steps we might want to take to address them. He was extremely knowledgeable and good at explaining things in plain English. I would recommend him without reservation.

William Prater has done the Trust's for my entire family. He did my parents, then my sister's family. He recently did my trust, which was very complicated because I have children with special needs, so it had to be a special needs trust. We were very happy with the outcome and the price.

Our Family Trust lawyer Bill Prater has managed our concerns for over 19 years. During that time, we have transitioned from work to retirement. Bill's advice has always been sound, judicious, and appropriate to our needs. We highly recommend Bill Prater without any reservations because he is exceptionally professional, knowledgeable, wise, approachable, and articulate. Sincerely, Mike and Catherine Legge

Bill is an awsome attorney who cares for his clients. My family Trust is in good hands! Thank you Bill!

Bill Did our trust originally and did such a good job that my mother had him redo hers. When she passed away everything went like clockwork. Perfect!! since then he has done my brothers and will be doing my children's trusts. He's easy to work with and a reasonable price.

Clients seem to exist solely for the benefit of Mr. Prater. My wife and I have tried since 2014 to put in place our estate planning and will with this attorney, and after almost $1500 it still is not done. Our initial consultation went fine and he seemed like a nice person, but he does not respond to emails regarding questions we have had. After reviewing the papers he created for us and turning them in to his office, we waited and waited and never heard back from him. Apparently it was our responsibility to contact him again, and the only way to see him is by guessing when he is completed with the work and by setting up an appointment through his secretary - this turned out to be a catastrophe when she gave us a date and time that did not correspond with the real calendar date!! The date that I guessed was the appointment turned out to be incorrect, and my wife was working the other day. When I went to the office to keep the appointment, the secretary asked me why my wife was not there because the papers needed notarization and witnessing when they were to be signed by both of us. Save yourself the hassle: Find an attorney who works for his clients and not vice versa!
