Probate and Estate

I contacted and hired Justin Gilbert to assist our family with settling my late husband's Estate. My husband died sort of unexpectedly and did not have a will. Justin educated me on TN Law concerning Probate and Estates. He explained things step by step and was available to the family anytime we had questions or concerns. Justin made a stressful, lengthy process easier for me to get through. I plan to hire Justin again for estate planning for myself. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy attorney with patience and competency. A TN Widow

Ms.

I contacted, consulted with and hired Justin Gilbert for my estate planning. He promptly prepared my trust, will and other legal documents. He answered all my questions and did everything that I requested. Justin was a pleasure to work with and he did a superb job!

Estate Planning

I was referred to Justin by my financial advisor to have a trust drawn up. I met with Justin twice, once to provide details, and then to sign and pick up the documents. He was on time for appointments and when I e-mailed questions to him, he responded quickly. When I took the finished documents to my bank to have my accounts included in the trust, the bank representative commented more than once about how well the trust documents had been done. This made me pleased that I had Justin prepare them.

So professional and so easy to talk to

Justin helped me get my father's trust and will change when we arrived back to Tennessee. Along with mine. He was so polite, patient, and he had so much good advice to help us transition our trusts from California law to Tennessee law. I would highly recommend him to anyone.

Trust Administration

Justin represents me on several trust administrations. I find him conscientious, detailed, and excellent in his follow-through. He is considerate and tactful but will be forthright and persistent when I need him to represent me in tough circumstances.
