Great experience

Steve was a great blessing to our family during a difficult time in our lives. He was very gracious, patient, always available and helped us understand all the legalese of preparing a will as well as other necessary documents. Very professional. Highly recommend.

So Much Clarity From A Good Attorney

Despite my mother and father leaving a well written and organized estate plan, the recent death of my father, after mother's death in October 2008, my need for legal guidance on the probation of my father's will was overwellming. Initially, I sought-out the assistance of their estate attorney in Flo...rida. But because my father died as a resident of Georgia, to probate his estate, I needed an attorney in Georgia. This is where attorney Stephen Carley helped tremendously. After being referred to me by my parents' Florida Attorney, Steve wiped out all of my anixeties in probating my father's estate. He listened, planned, agreed, and he implemented our agreement with a very high degree of professionalism. I highly recommend attorney Stephen Carley.

Attorney Review

Steve Carley is a top-notch attorney. It has been my pleasure and honor to collaborate on cases with him. Steve knows the law; he has the experience to use it to his clients' best interests; and he has the compassion to truly understand each client's individual needs. Steve Carley is my #1 recomme...ndation in Atlanta for clients who need estate planning, probate and estate administration assistance, and help with guardianships or conservatorships.

Steve Carley Estate Planning

I engaged Steve Carley to assist a 91-year old relative of my wife in connection with updating his outdated estate plan, which the relative had been intending to do for several years. The estate plan was complicated by ownership of commercial real estate properties and by the relative having a son u...nable to manage his own affairs that he wanted to provide for. Steve efficiently developed an estate plan involving a trust for the benefit of the son and prepared the appropriate instruments, including a Georgia Advance Directive for Healthcare and a Financial Power of Attorney. Steve did the work efficiently and for a very reasonable cost and gained the trust of the relative.
