Highly recommended
We met Josh via another attorney who recommended him and team to us, they were very professional, responsive and helpful when we had questions. We've talked about doing a will for many years - THANK YOU for the help with finally getting it done and so easily from our perspective. So grateful for that initial introduction... job well done!

Professional and Friendly
My husband and I had a great experience working with Josh and his team. They are very approachable, helpful, and professional. They worked with us on our estate planning documents (wills, advance medical directives, power of attorney) and did a great job leading us through the process and answering all of our questions. Definitely will be coming back for legal advice in the future.

Great Experience
Josh Hummer and his team were very patient with us and took the time to fully explain the estate planning process. They never tried to sell us extra services and all the charges were exactly as quoted. I would highly recommend going with the Hummer Law Firm if you are interested in integrity, competence and personal attention.

Great Choice!
Reaching out to Josh Hummer and his team to update our Will was the best decision we made in the process. Josh took time to answer all of our questions. He explained the purpose of several important documents that typically go together with a Will and provided clear guidance to help us make sound decisions. He and his team made the process simple and kept us on track. Once complete, our documents were presented to us in an organized manner along with instructions on how to make changes if necessary. Josh and his team far surpassed our expectations for this process. We highly recommend him for those seeking to update their Will.

Personalized Services
When we were in need of creating a family trust and other legal documents, I went to the internet to search for a lawyer who would be not only professional but would also be attentive to our needs. Joshua Hummer had nothing but 5 stars and also had several professional awards so he appeared to be a good choice. How correct the reviews are! Joshua’s service was truly worth more than 5 stars from the initial consultation on through the final certified documents. He walked us through each step always explaining them in detail and patiently answering our questions while treating us as if we were special clients. An unexpected bonus was a binder in which to store our documents. For each type of document, there was an explanation of what it is used for, how to change it, and other links for more information. The binder itself is worth the fee for his services. We highly recommend the Law Office of Joshua Hummer for preparation of your legal documents.

10/10 recommend
My husband and I needed to update our wills and things since moving from Pennsylvania to Virginia. I'm so glad we chose Josh and his wonderful team. They explained everything thoroughly and answered all of our questions. I also appreciated how well organized all of the paperwork was when we received the final copies. I feel confident we would return for any other updates needed and would recommend them to everyone.

Best Experience for getting our Will, Power of Attorney and Advance Medical Directives
We had our Will, Power of Attorney and Advance Medical Directives completed here and the entire process went very smoothly. They helped us to understand the documents so we could make the right decisions. When we went to sign the documents everyone was very pleasant and they made the process simple to complete. If anyone needs their services this is the place to go.

Outstanding Legal Services
We hired Josh to write a will, advanced medical directive, and power of attorney for my wife and I. From the initial consultation until delivery of the final certified documents, Josh's service was outstanding. He explained everything clearly, kept us informed throughout the process, and delivered a binder not only with the documents, but with complete explanations and instructions for the use of each one. I recommend him wholeheartedly.

Outstanding, professional estate planning services
It had been many years since we updated our will and we engaged Joshua to help us bring everything up to date. Joshua developed a draft will for myself and my wife, as well as advance medical directive and financial power of attorney documents. The documents that Joshua and his staff developed for us are extremely professional with copious cites to pertinent Virginia statutes. Josh delivered the finished product in a very nice binder and followed up with a call to go over everything and respond to any final questions concerning the documents. In addition, he provided advice on the do's and don'ts of storing and executing the documents. In summary, it's hard to envision a more professional and effective legal team than Josh and his staff in the estate planning area of the law.

Estate Planning
Josh Hummer's office was recommended to us by our church (fbcva.org). My wife & I went to Josh for assistance to prepare our estate plan (family trust, last will & testament, health care directive and power of attorney). He provided personalized service, listened to our needs, gave sound advice and provided feedback on our requests. The documents were prepared professionally and quickly, and he followed up on the ancillary items necessary to finalize all the details. This gives us peace of mind that our wishes will be followed, with minimal interaction with the state. I would use them again and recommend them for any legal services that may be necessary.

Accounting and Closing of Family Estate
Josh assisted me with the affairs and closing of my mother's estate. After my mother's death, I did not have a clue what I needed to do. Josh and his staff were very helpful and professional . They guided me and advised me with the accounting and sale of the estate. A job I could not have done on my own. Josh and his staff took care of business in a timely and orderly manner. He and his staff were friendly and very accountable. They eased my fear and made my job easy! I would have lost a lot of the benefits as executor and would have faced some unpleasant confrontations without them. If you are left as the executor of your family's estate and need assistance, I highly recommend Joshua Hummer and his amazing staff.

Estate planning excellence!
We recently had the opportunity to receive advice on revisions to our legal documents with Josh. The process was easy and extremely informative to complete our will, power of attorney, and advanced medical directive. We feel very confident in the advice that was given and very pleased with the process to complete these necessary changes. Josh is very willing to work with his clients in a “no pressure” environment. This was reassuring and remained constant throughout the process. Once the process was complete, we had the opportunity to meet his staff and can truly say they made us feel very welcome. The process to sign was well orchestrated and uncomplicated. We highly recommend Josh Hummer for your legal service needs.
