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.

Recommendation for Attorney Lawrence Jay Davis

My husband and I hired Attorney Larry Davis to assist with our estate planning. We needed our former testamentary documents updated because our situation could not be served by our existing boilerplate wills and trusts. Larry Davis was patient, caring, and demonstrated a thorough knowledge of the... law. We would recommend Larry Davis to anyone who wants excellent, professional representation.
