Ms

I called Mr. Chambers for a consultation on a probate matter and he gave me some very concise, cogent advice on a difficult legal situation. I would highly recommend his services.

Settle issues with joint ownership after the death of my wife

John was a major help in settling the estate of my deceased wife that resulted in moving ownership of all our joint holdings to my name. At the same time, he applied and was awarded a year's support through DeKalb County Probate Court that removed my Dunwoody Home's property taxes for 2019. He was al...ways prompt in communicating the status of his actions so I was kept clearly up-to-date. I am rehiring his services to update my Last Will and Testament which is badly out of date today.

Passionate and personable

I found myself in need first of some guidance and then documentation. Mr. Chambers listened politely to my situation over the phone. I needed to determine the proper process to become a successor trustee from a 40-year old testamentary trust. Time was of the essence. There were many issues that ha...d to be clarified before the guidance could be given but Mr. Chambers explained that he would take the time 'pro-bono' to get a clear understanding of the facts before he would recommend a solution. Given the size of this estate, I feared that it would not be large enough to qualify for his time. But he helped me decide on a new direction and quoted me a fair price to put in place an estate plan which included a living revocable trust, a will, and other associated documents. He always was available to take my calls and handled the execution of documents professionally. I highly recommend him for your estate planning needs.

Just the attorney we needed!

My wife and I were referred to John after my brother passed away with no will or trust in place. John patiently guided us through the necessary steps to obtain the correct papers to proceed with executing the estate. All this was done between California and Atlanta which could have been difficult, bu...t John made it happen seamlessly. We are very grateful for everything he did for us and would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone seeking a professional, honest, caring attorney who gets the job done!

Quick consultation

After being given the run around all morning over an issue I needed advisement for, I called John Chambers and he didn't hesitate to give me all the information I needed. He's very knowledgeable and professional. Thanks Mr. Chambers. I will reach out to you for any information I need in the future.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • 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.
