His team was awesome and responsive to my questions, proactive in addressing potential issues, and ensured that every document was carefully prepared to reflect our wishes. We now have peace of mind, knowing our Estate is in order. We would confidently recommend their services to anyone, looking for knowledge and trustworthy, legal assistance in estate planning.

Doug and his team were terrific, helping us to get my parents Will's Trusts etc in order as we prepared for them to sell their home and move into an independent living facility. They were extremely knowledgeable, responsive, and compassionate. I would enthusiastically recommend them!!!

Madeline Thorn provided guidance

Madeline updated my girlfriend and my wills and provided guidance on the best way to probate my mother's estate. She did a thorough job explaining the available options for all three tasks. She is always prompt in answering questions via e-mail. I wish I had talked my mother into having her wi...ll evaluated before her demise. It would have made executing her wishes easier.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
