Recommendation of Kelly Corbridge, Attorney at Law

I have worked with about 10 different Estate Planning Attorneys as client relations representative. I have assisted Kelley for the past 7 years in this capacity. It is my responsibility to call Kelley's estate planning clients to notify them of any changes in the laws that may affect them (as direc...ted by Kelley) and to ascertain any changes in their situation or issues they may have that Kelley or the firm needs to address. When questions or issues arise Kelley is responsive and informative. The clients appreciate this proactive approach, and I have never encountered a client who is unhappy with Kelley.

Great attorney - thoughtful and proactive

My husband and I have worked with Kelley for over 8 years and he is a trusted advisor. Most recently, he suggested that documents be drafted for our college-age children to ensure that we would have decision-making powers if a medical issue arose - it was something we never would have thought of and... we are grateful he did. We know Kelley to be an exceptional attorney of the highest integrity and we are pleased to recommend him.

Posted by Bob, for estate planning and financial advice

Kelley was very personable, knowledgeable and helpful in all matters relating to our financial matters and estate planning. He had many suggestions and information that we were unaware of.

Caldwell Trust Company Review

I have worked with Kelley for more than 20 years, initially when he was actively working in the Trust industry and then when he opened his own practice around 6- 7 years ago. He has many qualities which exemplify a "great attorney". He is extremely ethical, remains objective and independent, timely a...nd responsive which is critical in our industry, candid when appropriate, creative in delivering practical solutions, and always takes the human factors into account. He is highly regarded in our area as a specialist in his field and I have the highest regards of Kelley and his entire professional staff. A good estate planning attorney needs to have a knowledge base with finances, insurance, businesses, family relationships, and medical issues which Kelley also possesses due to his experience in the trust industry. Caldwell Trust Company unequivocally recommends Kelley Corbridge.

Mr. Corbridge wrote very detailed trust agreements for my husband and me a few years ago. Recently we needed an amendment and a special power of attorney on very short notice, and he provided those promptly. We couldn't be more pleased.

Estate planning lawyer | Nov 19

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Kelley Corbridge has a wonderful background that makes him uniquely qualified to assist high net worth clients with their estate plans. Kelley ran the Trust Department for Suntrust Bank in the Sarasota FL market and oversaw trust operations. He was in a position to observe the easy administration of well thought out estate plans but also observed the problematic circumstances encountered with Trusts and families with poorly thought out estate plans. Kelley is now a practitioner providing these estate planning services in Sarasota and Venice. He is bright, highly regarded in the community and has quickly risen to the top of the pile as an excellent choice to be the lawyer for people who want their estate plans done right. I would highly recommend this lawyer to clients. His work is excellent and it is a pleasure to work with him on complex estate and trust and administration matters."
