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 t...o complete. If anyone needs their services this is the place to go.

Estate Planning Made Easy

Josh and his team were very helpful in walking my wife and I through the process of creating our wills and power of attorney. He was easy to work with and very professional.

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 u...s 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 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 proces...s 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.
