Creating a Trust to take the burden off my family

I spoke with Lawrence Jay Davis regarding my estate and the benefit of creating a Trust. I met with him several times with a list of questions and concerns. He professionally and knowledgeably answered all of them. He had prepared my will years prior, but I had been hearing about Trusts, and I wan...ted to discuss the benefits with him. I wanted to make it easier for my family to access my estate after my passing without the worry of probate. Mr. Davis was very patient with me and my questions and never made me feel like I was a burden. He never pushed me to make a decision. He advised me with pros and cons on all my questions. Only when I was sure what direction I wanted to go, we created the Trust. I felt confident that I had made the right choice with his guidance. I would recommend him without hesitation. You are treated like a special client. I always felt welcome to meet with him, call or email him with any questions or concerns. I am relieved that this very important decision was completed and that I have made this task easier for my family.

Outstanding Service with Effective Communication and Practical Solutions!

My wife and I first met with Larry (Lawrence Jay Davis) for estate planning, and we were blown away by his personality, kindness, knowledge and his meticulous explanation of the pros and cons of estate planning. Larry’s facility is clean and inviting! He ensures that my wife and I met with him in... a big room with comfortable chairs and table. We felt very comfortable at the meeting and wasn’t distracted by anything. He took his time to answer all our questions and he was also very thorough in the questions he asked us. Additional, Larry was easy to communicate with through emails and phone calls. He promptly responded to our phone calls and emails. To sum it up, my wife and I are beyond satisfied and happy with the services Larry and his team provided to us. Larry made us feel like we were best friends for many years. His recommendations were sincere and honest, and we trust him wholeheartedly with our estate planning. If you are looking for an attorney for your estate planning, probate, or real estate, we highly recommend you meet with Larry. We are confident you will be just as happy with his service as we are. Thank you, Larry, for your outstanding service - you are now our forever estate planning attorney! :)
