Highly Recommended!
I've known David for a couple years and I hired him to handle probate for my father's estate. Prior to my father's passing he hired an attorney that did not specialize in estates to set up his will and to arrange the title of his property in order to avoid probate after his passing. This was a mistake. Unfortunately things were not done properly, as we discovered while trying to close on the sale of his property. David came in to the situation and had the probate process handled within a few weeks. David did an excellent job. David lives and breathes wills, trusts and estates! He is very knowledgable, courteous and keeps you up to date with what is going on with your case. Also, his fees are very competitive in the marketplace. If you have any need for a wills, trusts and estates attorney I highly recommend you contact David Shulman.
