Posted by David | January 22, 2015 | Estate Planning

My recommendation/commendation of; Jessica L. Estes, Esq.

To wit: Jessica helped my son, and myself, create what we believe is a complete/valid Estate Plan that will serve all concerned parties very well as I enter my last years and the usual infirmities of old age. We remain in a contract with Jessica and the firm she is associated with. We look forward... to considerable interactions with Jessica in upcoming years . .

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.
