A Friend Indeed

After our mother's passing last summer, my sister and I called Todd to assist with the handling of her estate. Todd had done an exceptional job in putting a Trust together for my parents in 2012, so that helped a great deal. My parents were not very diligent in bringing all of their subsequent affa...irs to Todd's attention or in bringing all loose ends together into the Trust, but he was able to pick up very quickly what needed to be done and by when. I do not know how I would have navigated the less than clear paths for handling such matters without his assistance. Todd was clear in his explanations, courteous in all of our dealings, and extremely diligent in the performance of what he needed to do and in following up to make sure I was on track with what was in my court. Todd and his parents had been friends with my parents for many years and he certainly proved to be a good friend to me during my time of need after my mother's passing. I give him my highest recommendation!

Excellent Estate Attorney

Todd was a wonderful advocate throughout my grandfather's estate planning process as well as upon his death. He provided guidance and support through each step of creating and fulfilling my grandfather's trust and will. I relied on him heavily after my grandfather's passing and he was always kind, ca...ring, and compassionate no matter what my question or problem. He never hesitated to offer his help and always took my calls regardless of the time or day. Having Todd in our corner made the process of losing my grandfather and taking care of his wishes and estate possible. My family could not have done it without him and we are so very thankful for his professional guidance and support. I know my grandfather would be proud of how everything fell in to place and was taken care of so nicely. I can't express in words how thankful I am for finding an estate attorney that treats you like family and makes sure that all is ok even when it feels like the walls are caving in around you. It was a true blessing to have such a remarkable attorney on our side.

Thorough, diligent

Todd did a very good job walking me through the steps necessary to set up a trust to manage my estate. He was able to easily answer questions about my personal requirements, was timely in his responses to questions and drafting the documents, and always followed up. Estate planning is more complica...ted than I thought, but I now have a trust I am comfortable with.

Mr. Skinner Assistance with Estate Execution Process

Mr. Skinner was very professional in assisting me in the execution of my father's will and estate. This was done long distance, since I don't live in Virginia. He had previously created an estate plan and will for my parents, so I relied on him to assist in the execution of my duties as executor. He ...was conscientious, exact and very helpful. I would seek his assistance again for similar legal assistance.

Professional Service

I contacted Mr Skinner to help me with my final planning documents (will, power of attorney, etc). Mr. Skinner was extremely professional as well as patient. He walked me through every step. No question was a foolish question and he fully answered each one. In the end I had a product that satisfied m...y every wish and concern..
