Estate planning

When my father was ill, Fran DeThomas was incredibly responsive in completing much needed revisions to his will. She was professional and knowledgeable about what was needed in order to get his estate in order. Once my father passed, Fran settled the estate. When I had questions they were answered. W...e met all deadlines and her office assisted me in all necessary filings. Overall, Fran is an excellent lawyer and can assist you in your estate planning.

Avvo Rating

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.
