Efficient, Thorough, Knowledgeable Service

This week I signed my Will, advance directives, and related documents that were drafted by Life and Legacy Counselors. My experience with everyone at this firm was unmatched: They treated me with the utmost respect, answered all my questions, and reviewed everything with me (multiple times!) before t...he signing. Their meticulous attention to detail gave me confidence in their experience and expertise. Verbal and written communication was clear and frequent; I always understood where we were in the process. There were no surprises. Life and Legacy Counselors has a very user friendly portal that I felt comfortable using. I highly recommend this firm!

Estate Planning Legal Services

The Griffin Life & Legacy Law Firm provided excellent counseling and services to my wife and me. Over a period of three and a half months, we worked with a range of staff that included attorneys, legal assistants/paralegals, business experts and administrative staff. All of the staff we encountered w...ere pleasant, patient, and helpful in answering questions and clarifying complex legal and procedural concepts. All of our consultations with the firm's representatives were virtual, except for the final meeting, which involved signing our will, healthcare directive, durable power of attorney, and related estate documents at their Washington, DC location. Virtual consultations saved us the time and expense of traveling to the firm's offices, so this method of meeting with the staff was a tremendous benefit. This worked well for us because one of us had the necessary computer equipment and expertise (updated computer, camera, microphone, office equipment, and experience using Zoom and Microsoft Teams) to engage in virtual meetings. If you are unable or unwilling to participate virtually, I am certain this law firm can provide alternative ways to engage with them. All you have to do is ask. As a retired transactional attorney with 40+ years of experience, I believe the quality of the legal counseling and the end-products provided to us by the Griffin Firm were superb--second to none. Our one and only concern overall is that the three-month period required to structure and complete the implementation of our estate plan seemed to be a bit too long, but this is totally a matter of our perception as clients. It may well be that such a timeframe is quite normal for estate planning. Ultimately, the peace of mind in having an estate plan that promises to alleviate, even eliminate, the burden on our surviving loved ones of going through probate, made the cost and time invested in hiring the Griffin Firm worth every dollar and every minute. We highly recommend this law firm.

Estate Planning with Excellence

I was absolutely pleased with the estate planning services I received from Aimee D. Griffin! The guidance she provided on how to avoid probate issues and the importance of having "my wishes" in place when I depart this life, gave me such peace of mind. Legal terminology can be difficult to understa...nd at times, but this attorney will translate the words into language a layperson can grasp -- and add a bit of humor to keep you relaxed. I highly recommend her firm for your estate planning needs!

A-Team

I have been working with this firm for approximately 4 years for probate with a family member, and just recently I had a Will done for myself. It was a fun, yet professional experience. This team is one of the best, if not THE BEST.
