Highly Recommended

We highly recommend Justin M. Gilbert for estate planning, trust, probate and other services. Our experience with Justin was excellent. He listened and understood our objectives, presented strategies, and was patient in educating us to the alternatives. Justin was responsive and demonstrated expertis...e in his field of practice. We will continue using his services.

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 h...ad 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

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.

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.
