Bryan K Tippen

*Waste of time and money!* I met with Brian and his wife, the middle of 2018, to prepare estate planning documents for me. After I received the initial documents, I called back with questions. I was told Brian's time was very valuable, he was reluctant to call me back, but he would. I was assured... that my documents could very easily be modified if need be in the future. To sign the final documents, I took time off work, drove to Punta Gorda, and had to wait 30-45; apparently, my time is not valuable! Recently I reached out to them to make a few name changes (a simple word document ‘find and replace’). I was originally told that I would have to drive 3 hours to Punta Gorda (I recently moved to Fort Lauderdale) to sign the new documents and they didn't know how much it would cost because it was a “major” change (again... a simple word document ‘find and replace’). Then Brian left me a lengthy message telling me to Google estate planning and have my paperwork completely redone. They couldn’t help me make the simple word document ‘find and replace’ changes and especially since I had moved to Fort Lauderdale. Apparently, in the day and age of everything being done online, emailed, notarized, scanned, etc.; they will not and cannot accommodate. Now, I have unusable estate planning documents and I have to have everything completely redone. An absolute waste of time and money! I was assured they could make changes for me in the future. Had I known I had to stay within a 15-mile radius of Punt Gorda and/or simple changes would be considered too much; I NEVER would have gone to them.

Tippen Law assisted with probate administration for our family. This is never an easy time for any family at any time. Bryan and Stefanie were fantastic professionals! The first call was a consultation. Bryan laid out what to expect and estimated timing. He laid out what can go well and where we may ...run into obstacles. In hindsight, Bryan was spot on. Some things fall out of our hands. The delays weren’t significant but we knew to expect this to happen. Bryan was an advocate for me (personal representative), fair and objective liaison for the family, and straight shooter throughout the process. My mom passed away in Florida. All family involved was out of state. Bryan knows FL probate law. He also knows the impact in other areas like real estate. I had peace of mind knowing all things were considered. We accomplished everything by email and mail. This is a confusing and tedious process. I learned a lot. I trusted Bryan and Stefanie and found it was the wisest choice I could make. With great comfort and confidence, I highly recommend Bryan and Stefanie and Tippen Law services. Trust your gut. Listen to the pros. Hire Tippen Law.

Being from out of state, I feel fortunate to have researched the internet and found your law firm for legal assistance on our probate planning. Your website content and reviews were excellent From the first phone consultation, Bryan made me feel comfortable with my decision. The service was outsta...nding.

We recently utilized the services of Tippen Law Firm for estate planning. Bryan was extremely responsive to any questions which arose, and did a wonderful job of explaining the nuances in the law in a way that was clear and concise. All fees were discussed up front, and all of our documents were comp...leted in an agreed-upon time. Every step of the process was clearly communicated by phone and email.

Dealing with the death of a spouse is something words can't describe. Processing all the financials through probate is not only complex it's also emotionally draining. Bryan made this process as smooth and painless as possible. He truly cares about his clients and puts forth the extra effort to educa...te and keep costs down. Highly recommended.
