Tammy and her staff are very informative, helpful and knowledgeable on all trust account activities. She explained everything to our family and executed the best type of trust account for our situation.

What a wonderful experience!

I work for the government and as part of my responsibility I deal with many, many lawyers. Recently I needed some personal estate planning and retirement planning work to be completed for myself and my spouse. We hired Singleton-English Law Offices and were thrilled with our experience. The lawyer... and her entire staff are extremely knowledgable, and they covered every detail related to our needs. The entire staff is polite, courteous, and very responsive to our every need. This firm also provides tremendous value for the money. I will definitely utilize them again in the future and encourage all of my friends to do so as well.

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.
