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 th...at 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 a...ll 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, compet...ence and personal attention.

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.
