New will

We moved to Florida and needed to re-do/update our will. Everything was very easy. Before, during and after we had many questions and all were answered promptly. We were always made to feel it was never a problem nor an inconvenience. On top of all of that we felt it was very reasonably priced. We wo...uld highly recommend Patrick Smith.

Arrogant and rude.

In Feb 2015, I paid for P. Smith to write a Revoc Trust. In Nov. 2018,prior to scheduled Brain Surgery, I wanted to make some small Beneficiary changes. I made appoint. for Smith at the Clermont office. I was treated very rudely by Pat Smith. This mistreatment bothered me. The next day I phoned his... office and was going to complain to Smith about the day's before rude treatment. When he came on the line I asked if we could have this conversation in private and confidentially, because I did not want to embarrass Smith by having his staff overhear me chastising him. Smith refused my request for confidentiality, although the request was for his benefit. I have since hired a new attorney to handle my Trust. Patrick Smith will now lose out on more than $40,000 in Trust administration fees he would have earned.

Horrible attorney

I was appointed this attorney through other representation. He has not got in contact with me in almost a year. When he did finally contact me I asked him a legitimate question and was talked down to like a child and threatened that he would abandon my case if I asked any other questions like the one... I did. This attorney is a joke and I would recommend moving on to the next one. Also his fee is pretty insane. He wants half of the estate sales value as fees.

No client care

I paid over $800 for a will and estate planning advice. After a brief interview I was sent documents to sign which did not even address all my wishes and concerns. After 8 months of no follow up I still don't have a will.
