Will and Power of Attorney Updates

Mr. Hayes gave me excellent advice concerning my estate. Since the majority of my assets were IRAs, he did not recommend putting them in a trust. He listened carefully to my wishes concerning my will and was very prompt in completing the updates.

Setting up our Trust

There were many questions that my wife and I had about beneficiary designations and the benefits of having a trust rather than a will. The Pickler team was very helpful with all of our questions. We attended a "Game of Thrones" themed presentation about why it is important to set up a trust. If yo...u are considering creating a will or trust, I highly recommend contacting Russell at Pickler. He will assist you in making the decision that is right for you and your assets.

Recommended without Reservation

I contacted the Pickler Law firm for legal assistance in setting up an estate plan, having selected them based on positive Google reviews. I was assigned to Russell Hayes, who I found to be an extremely professional, knowledgeable, and personable attorney - just great all around. It was quite a perso...nal journey to figure out how I would want my estate handled and Russell gave very solid advice and suggestions smoothing the process to a successful outcome. It can't be understated how Russell's humor and wit made the process easy and enjoyable. Mr. Hayes was assisted by Kelsey Gilliam, who I also found extremely capable and responsive to all of my inquiries. They make a great team and I would highly recommend them with no reservation whatsoever. I now consider Russell and Kelsey my permanent legal team for times when I would need them on my side. I also would like to mention that their rates are extremely reasonable having worked with other attorneys in the greater Memphis area in the past.

  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
