Professional, considerate, knowledgeable and helpful!!

Brad was excellent at listening effectively, communicating concisely, explaining thoroughly and following up promptly and reliably regarding our rather complex and unusual estate matter. I would recommend him to anyone seeking either full representation OR merely assistance or advisement. He seems both proficient & efficient, as well as completely trustworthy, and he was extremely helpful in accomplishing exactly what I needed him for.

Brad is extremely knowledgeable and very honest and forthright in his advice. He is thorough in explaining options, steps in the process of completing appropriate documents and sharing general information and knowledge. He obviously stays current on the law in this area. He was exceptionally patient and kind to my 95 year old mother as well!

Brad helped when no one else would!

We recently went through a complicated guardianship case. It involved multiple parties and states. I called 20 or more attorneys and no one wanted to help since it wasn’t a standard case. Brad helped us. He went above and beyond. Calling working with another attorney in another state. He gave us a free consultation and his price was very reasonable! He arranged mountains of paperwork and we were able to finish everything last week. We couldn’t have done it without him.
