Excellent Estate Attorney

I had an estate case from hell. Long story short, my mother passed and then a year later her ex husband did. At that moment it became a war of the Estates. My first lawyer died, my second changed professions in the middle of my case and no one wanted to touch this mess of a case because it was just h...orrible in every way possible and open 5 years later than it should have been. Insert Jesse. He worked vigorously to ensure I could keep my mother's house in the family and kept in constant contact with me regarding the case. He was very knowledgeable and if he didn't know something, he would find out the info and get it back to me as soon as possible. He made a very trying time for me and my family a little bit easier to bear. I'd definitely recommend him to anyone and will probably hire him in the future to get my estate affairs in order so my family doesn't have to go through what I did when my mother passed.

Atkins and Atkins Attorneys at Law, LLC

Mr. Jesse Atkins is a prompt and courteous attorney. Mr. Atkins was always available to answer my questions and he took the time to listen to my concerns, never rushing me. Mr. Atkins is very knowledgeable about laws and/or policies; I never felt as if I needed to second guess any information I recei...ved. Mr. Atkins does not keep typical attorney office hours, he accommodates his clients. Mr. Atkins did exactly what I asked him to do for me and if he felt that I needed something more he would suggest it, never pushing it upon me. When a person is attempting to figure out their future after their time on earth it takes time to make sure that they have everything in order; Mr. Atkins was so compassionate and understanding during this process. Mr. Atkins realizes that choosing the correct guardian for your children can be a stressful situation and he genuinely cared about making sure I was not rushed in the decision process. In the future should I need to make any modifications to my will I will be contacting Atkins and Atkins Attorneys at Law, LLC; I highly recommend them to anyone.

Probate Case - Very Professional, helpful, informative, and caring during this time

I highly recommend Jesse for any Estate/ Probate case, he was very helpful and got things done quickly and always kept us inform on every step in our case, he would email, call, and meet with us when it was convenient for us, even on weekends to help us avoid missing work. He was sensitive to our ne...eds during this difficult time, and would do everything to help make things easier for us, even as simple as signing documents, he explain everything before he would have me sign it. He is very professional but takes great pride in his cases and is extremely helpful getting answers and very timely on filing everything. I was referred to Jesse from a previous attorney that had our case, but moved and gave her cases to Jesse and it could not have been any better for us to end up with him. There was never a question that I did not feel I could ask, he always reassured me to always ask and made sure I understood what the reason was behind any courts decisions. I would like to say THANK YOU JESSE FOR ALL YOUR HARD WORK AND MAKING THIS PROCESS AS EASY AS POSSIBLE FOR US !!
