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! :)

Extreme Gratitude

I’m beyond grateful for the expertise and support we got from Larry with both the sale of our home and the subsequent purchase of a new home. At each and every step of the process his council proved critical. Had we not had Larry acting on our behalf, our new purchase would likely have been derailed..., we would not have saved thousands of dollars and would have spent beyond what was necessary . His warm, knowledgeable demeanor never failed to calm our fears. We asked so many questions undoubtedly outside the realm of typical real estate things yet he always had time and never responded in any other way than professionally giving spot on advice. His office took care of everything. He worked well with our realtor on every level. He took care of hiccups right away never any delay on his part. I’ll forever be grateful for his help. Our home is an important and emotional part of our lives and he played an integral role in bringing that about. I’ll forever be grateful.

When You Need An Attorney

Like many of us today, we are caring for parents that brought us into the world and cared for us when we needed them the most. Larry initially helped us by preparing a Power of Attorney and Will for our elderly mother. Following her passing, Larry filed the necessary legal documents to transfer our... parents home to us, her two sons. The filings were done quickly and as Larry clearly outlined would occur. He was always accessible for any inquiries we needed to ask. Highly Recommended
