Living trust completed.

I'm so glad & relieved to have completed the exercise of setting up a revocable living trust. Skip directed me through the process in two meetings. The end result was a set of documents that will allow me to manage my estate and to make changes as situations arise. Skip was thorough & professiona...l throughout the process.

An excellent experience

Skip is absolutely fantastic! He listened to us and answered all of our questions. He was a huge help to my wife and I in setting up our plans to protect each other should one of us be seriously ill or injured. He made what could have been a difficult experience incredibly easy. He was available and ...easy to communicate throughout the process. I highly recommend Skip to anyone who needs help planning for their family's future.

Outstanding

Skip did an excellent job getting my estate plans in order. We met, he put everything together, and then we met again to sign. Helped me understand the advantage of a trust. Was clear and precise in his communications. I'm a lot more comfortable about my future now, and for what I leave my executors ...to deal with. All at a reasonable price.

Very helpful for planning my mother’s affairs

Straightforward, great service. I would hire again. Skip helped with a living will and a deed change to protect my mother’s property.

Elder law

I called many attorneys in the area to help me with my Mom's financial and end of life care. Then I called Mr. Tylman and knew I found the attorney for me. He was very knowledgeable, caring and knew just what needed to be done. then came the best surprise, his fee was far below what other attorney...s were going to charge. I highly recommend you give him a call.

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.
