The best

Ms. Gilliam was retained to assist with a conservatorship / probate matter involving a vicious dispute between siblings. She demonstrated insight and knowledge and provided sound advice. She has consistently correctly predicted the actions of the opposing parties and court. I am an attorney licens...ed in another state. I highly recommend Ms. Gilliam.

Carolyn Levy Gilliam -- professional and efficient

My husband and I were referred to Ms. Gilliam for legal advice in setting up documents to cover situations as we age. She met with us for just 1/2 hour to establish our needs and advise us on which documents are needed (e.g., Power of Attorney, Last Will and Testament, Living Will). In addition, sh...e explained the importance of establishing beneficiaries on savings accounts and when it is important to set up Trusts. After this short, but informative meeting, she conveyed additional information via email so that we could decide on the basics of how we wanted these documents prepared. Ms. Gilliam used our next meeting to finalize our agreements so that she could prepare the documents. Then we closed out this important process with another short meeting where he staff stayed after hours to make last minute changes and print the final documents for our signatures. In addition to her efficiency, she was very pleasant and professional to work with. She kept us on task with a good sense of humor. And, the cost for her services were slightly less than other attorneys we are aware of that provided similar services. My husband and I highly recommend Ms. Gilliam for professional legal services. In fact, our daughters plan to use her services when they are ready to complete these documents for themselves.

Preparation of Legal Documents

We engaged Carolyn to prepare a trust and power of attorney documents for us and then documents for our kids and future son in law. She has been great to work with in getting these important documents completed. We will continue to engage Carolyn in the future as we need updated documents. We highly ...recommend her services. She and her staff were very professional and timely.

Excellent and Dedicated Service

Carolyn worked tirelessly to make sure my case was handled to my satisfaction. She fought on my behalf and communicated with me constantly to keep me updated with developments in my case. The case was closed quickly and I received my payment quickly also. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a...n attorney.
