Estate Planning With Chester Hobbs

My wife and I were referred to Chester Hobbs in 2017. Chester was very professional, but also very considerate, patient, and thorough in answering all of our questions, This provided us with a complete understanding in our estate planning and a comfort level with our decisions. Since then, Chester ha...s always made himself available when ever any other concerns arose and recently helped us with our POA's. The staff was equally friendly and professional. We would highly recommend Chester Hobbs and his firm.

Great experience!

As new parents, we wanted to set up a Will and Trust for our child, in the event something would happen to us. We had NO idea where to start but was recommended Chester Hobbs by a family friend. Chester and his team were more than accommodating and walked us through the entire process with an in-pers...on consult where we laid out all of our assets and talked through our options. When it came time to sign the final documents, we were under a Stay-at-Home order by the Governor due to COVID-19. Chester and his team were able to easily facilitate a Zoom-call to finalize and execute the documents in a timely fashion. Chester and his team made this daunting process easy and simple! 10/10!

Very professional

Mr. Hobbs and his staff were very professional. They were informative with my questions when my husband passed. I also have them review an LLC for my farm and make changes as needed. They in addition prepared my new estate documents, etc. I would highly recommend Mr. Hobbs to family and friends.

The Best...

Mr. Hobbs was very professional and incredibly knowledgeable in all aspects of estates, trusts, and wills. He and his staff were very patient as we changed our minds many times in terms of what we wanted to include in our wills and trusts. Mr. Hobbs took the time to carefully listen to us which I thi...nk is a critical skill for a lawyer. He also accommodated our busy schedules and met with us three times to get everything right. Both my husband and I are very grateful and feel fortunate to have found him and this law firm. Thank you.

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.
