Very helpful, knowledgeable, accessible

Atty. Jay Fox, is very helpful, knowledgeable and we are very glad that we came across his profile when we were searching on how to start the process of getting trust and will. We could tell that he is very experienced and that he made the process as easy as possible. We could tell that he devoted ...his time in explaining things to us. We were very intimidated in starting the process but he made us feel reassured and he answered all of our questions. He was available when we needed changes to our documents, very honest and definitely professional. I have recommended him to my friends, coworkers and relatives. He understood our concerns and limitations (being first time in creating trust/ will ). We are extremely grateful that we found him and that he was able to help us with our trust and will creation.

Knowledgeable, Thorough, Responsive

A few years ago, Mr Fox prepared wills for our family. Although we hadn't communicated since then, recently I needed legal help and time was of the essence. Due to the lack of a particular verbiage in the deed to our home, I realized I had to go through probate. I was not only surprised, but also... stressed because timeliness was important and I wanted to streamline the sale process. I contacted Mr. Fox and that same day he initiated the necessary paperwork with comprehensive instructions. He guided me through the process which is now complete. I can't be more thankful for his services. He was quick to respond, maintains excellent communication, is kind, and thorough. I highly recommend Mr. Fox.

We can sleep better at night!

Jay was very effective and efficient at explaining each step in the process of updating our wills. He worked us through the reasons we had procrastinated in the past and explained the legal reasons why it was better to do things one way over another. He also did not charge a fee for a Power of Attorn...ey or Advance Directive for Health Care. We are very happy to have all these legal documents in place thanks to Jay!

Jay Fox is the best.

I completely trusted Jay to write my will. He is knowledgeable and thorough. It was very easy for me to work with Jay. The best thing that I can say about Jay is that he is a good listener. I would highly recommend him to any of my family or friends.

Fantastic Trust Attorney

Jay was extremely helpful in doing our trust. He took ample time to explain complex trust terms and made me and my wife feel very comfortable dealing with our lives in front of him. His experience led to many valuable recommendations to improve our trust for us and for our heirs. Jay is the guy fo...r your next detailed estate planning session.
