Great firm for my family

The Covert firm initially helped my mother get her affairs in order, then after she passed they were extremely helpful to me and my sister during a difficult time to make sure we took care of everything required. While it wasn't an easy time, the work done while my mother was alive saved us some time... and confusion and ensured her final wishes were carried out.

Review

I had an excellent experience working with the Covert firm for my mother’s estate probate. I initially found him online, I called him and a few others. I had the pleasure of talking with Chris, and decided to go with them. They were helpful, kept me informed about all procedures and needing any new i...nformation from me. It turned out to be a longer process because of Covid-19 , mostly hurry up and wait for the courts. I then had issues with a relative that further delayed things, so I had a probate case for 4.5 years. Neil’s son Chris is excellent in the office, I enjoyed dealing with him by phone or email. I highly recommend!

Highly recommend Neil Covert Law Office

The Covert Team came highly recommended. From start to finish, they were professional and responsive. Being a continent and 3 time zones apart should have been challenging, but it wasn't an issue. They never made me feel like I was asking a silly question or taking too much of their time. Chris a...lways made it clear that I could call any time and ask any question or ask for clarification. Probate closed as scheduled, and the entire process was painless, thanks to their expertise. I also highly recommend Neil and his staff!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
