Wills, Powers of Attorney, and Healthcare Directives

I retained Mr. Silvis' services in March 2023 to represent my aunt in a family matter. As I collaborated with Mr. Silvis over the following months, it became evident that he was the ideal attorney to oversee all our legal affairs. Subsequently, my husband and I engaged Mr. Silvis to draft our Wills, ...Power of Attorney, and Healthcare Directives. The geographical distance between Thomasville, GA, where Mr. Silvis practices, and our residence in Tampa, FL, was inconsequential. Our priority was securing top-notch assistance, and Mr. Silvis unquestionably fulfilled his promises exceptionally. I am deeply grateful for the fortuitous encounter with a dedicated and spiritually grounded legal professional. May Mr. Silvis and his law firm be continuously blessed with a surplus of new clients, their successes overflowing and leaving no space for containment. In the name of Jesus, I offer this prayer of gratitude and abundance. AMEN!

Competent, Compassionate Service

Doug and Shelia were great to work with. They are well-versed in all the legal issues surrounding wills, health care directives and powers of attorney. They really listened, answered our many questions, ensured our documents were prepared the way we wanted, and that we understood every section. Th...anks!

Estate Attorney

Doug did a terrific job helping with all legal aspects of managing an estate and working with as Executor of the Estate. Doug was communicative, prompt and extremely knowledgable of the process. Would highly recommend him.

The Voice of Wisdom!

We are grateful we were referred to Doug Silvis and his law firm for the establishment of our non-profit. There are not enough stars here to rate this Man of God who truly stands by his word and serves with integrity and compassion. He took a GREAT deal of time providing wise counsel and guiding us i...n our vision and mission. He also edited our tremendously burdensome bylaws and made corrections that, as a layman, I was not aware needed to be made. Mr. Silvis and team kept us informed throughout the entire process and quickly confronted an error made by the state. We are thankful we have Mr. Silvis as our attorney. It is without reservation that we recommend his legal services.

Willingness to Listen and communicate

Mr. Silvis really knows how to get things done. My family had a family member die without a will in the state of Florida. Mr. Silvis listened to our problem with a compassionate ear and guided us through the steps to resolve most of the problems associated with the estate and there were a lot of p...roblems. He and his PA were quick to get things done and constantly kept us up to date on the work that was being done. Once Mr. Silvis had exhausted all he could do, he recommended an attorney in Florida and he even called him while we were there in the conference room to help us set things in motion to complete the estate work.

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.
