Stuart J. Hamilton

We got to the very end of the process of putting together our wills, and were so far along in the process that we needed only to review the final copies and sign them, when Mr. Hamilton stopped responding to our attempts to contact him. He re-surfaced briefly promising to get things done when I email...ed to say we would have to look elsewhere if we didn't hear back after several months of attempting to contact him. That was over six months ago, and we still haven't heard back. Not sure what is going on, but I could never recommend his services for these reasons. Too bad, as he had come recommended to us by family. I'm glad we had not yet paid him.

My husband and I visited Mr. Hamilton in early July to start the process of rewriting our will, and after taking down all our information he said we would hear back from him in six to eight weeks. We were very pleased by his attention to detail and the knowledge of estate planning he expressed durin...g our visit. But it's now been three months, and he has not answered either my e-mail or phone calls to find out our status. I have no idea whether he is actually working on our will. I don't want to hire a new lawyer, until I know he hasn't actually performed any services for us as yet.
