Exceptionally Competent and Personal Legal Service

We were referred to John Potter by our lawyer in New York when we moved to North Carolina and we have been very pleased with his professional service. He really listened to our concerns and offered options on how to proceed with our estate planning. He is detailed oriented and answered our endless qu...estions and explained the whys of his suggestions. We felt we could trust him and that he was concerned about representing our desires in the best way possible. John is very competent and knowledgeable, friendly, caring, trustworthy and delightful to work with. We also appreciate his staff ... and the opportunities for webinars and continuing education regarding our estate plan. We definitely recommend John Potter for estate planning.

A Legacy Fulfilled Through Efficient Guidance

I am a senior citizen, widow and homeowner with a large family. If you have property, no matter how little, there is a need to provide legally for your assets to be transferred after death. Many elderly people like myself, are reluctant to discuss important issues with family members, but there is ...less concern when relying on a qualified estate elder law attorney. A heavy load was removed from my mind when I found the Potter Law Firm. Mr. Potter is honest and knowledgeable in areas of the law involving wills, trusts, disability and incapacity. His desire is to assist in granting the wishes of every client. My first appointment with Mr. Potter took away my fear of expressing my desires. He patiently listened and was interested in the best plan to carry out my wishes in distributing worldly goods so that relatives would experience less adjustment and know I cared for them. Mr. Potter’s legal service gave us peace of mind knowing my affairs were in order. I would recommend his service to anyone seeking a dependable, greatly respected attorney. I am blessed knowing my affairs were in his thorough care.

Fantastic Guidance and Follow Through

We enjoyed working with John. He is thorough and detail oriented. He took the time to ask appropriate questions as he guided us through the process, step by step. The final packet was complete and easy to find each component. He provided complete instructions as well as checklists to follow. We are g...rateful for John’s help and guidance.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education

  • 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.
