Deed Transfer

I was in need of a deed transfer to add my current home to my Trust. Mr. Cahill and his staff made this an easy transaction. Extremely professional and knowledgeable concerning this legal issue. Thank you.

Review of services by attorney Michael Cahill

I have used Michael Cahill for almost 10 years as a CPA. Michael has also assisted me with real estate issues and recently helped me create a personal trust, and update end of life documents. He is always helpful, polite and thorough, with a friendly, approachable style, and gets back to you quickly.... I have been very pleased with my interactions with Michael and feel his fees are fair. He is very upfront and welcomes questions about any topic you might have. I have never felt rushed and actually look forward to my meetings with my CPA! He listens well, as does his friendly staff. Other family members also use Michael and are quite happy with him. I can recommend Michael Cahill for tax or estate services without reservation.

Great man and wonderful lawyer

Michael has worked with me and my family on numerous occasions. Mostly real estate related issues but also he set up a trust for us. He and his staff are unfailingly kind and considerate and have respectfully pointed out the errors in our reasoning and actions. He has helped us very much.

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.
