About Lawrence
Biography
Founding attorney Lars Kissling earned his law degree from the Southwestern University School of Law in Los Angeles. Before founding Oak City Estate Planning in Raleigh, Lars practiced in California, Connecticut, Massachusetts, and New York. He learned the value of estate planning after his parents’ forward-thinking actions allowed he and his siblings to benefit from their accrued wealth despite multi-year stints in nursing homes at the end of their lives. Lars now devotes his practice to helping clients make similarly effective and proactive plans that will benefit their children and other loved ones. He himself is a parent of two and has been happily married for over 25 years.

Thank you Mr. Kissling
Mr. Kissling called me back within minutes of my call. I explained the situation, dad died without a will, but after Mr. Kissling listened to the details he assured me that the best route would be to file my own small estate forms with the clerk. This is saving about $4,000. Thank you Mr. Kissling...

A wizard of a lawyer!
Attorney Kissling handled my traffic violation ticket in an almost magical way: he made it disappear. Kudos. to him. I wholeheartedly recommend Mr. Kissling to others like me. I will remember him for future legal needs.

Very Efficient
They were very efficient. When I called the receptionist was very clear with her directions and made me feel very comfortable. They able rectify my issues without me having to lose much time from my schedule.

Easy enough
Hired Mr Kissling for a simple speeding ticket. He took care of things like he said he would, so I have no complaints!

Perfect
Got his name off a robo letter after a ticket, but once I finally managed to actually talk to him, he worked out great! Got my ticket reduced to equipment and sent me a link to pay my court costs. His fee was reasonable, too.
