An attorney who is well-prepared, consistent, and provide reasonable price for legal counseling

I HIGHLY recommend this law firm. I approached Mr. Jesse Atkins for legal adivce regarding real-estate property rights. I was concerned about the high prices most attorneys charge to help answer a brief and specific question without the prospective client having any gurantee the question is within th...e attorney's area of expertise. However, Mr Jesse Atkins met - and in some instances - exceeded my expecations because (1) he quote me for an reasonable & affordable fee for legal advice, (2) He's staff were very responsive and maintain continuous communication (Mrs. Betty Schuller) (3) Mr. Jesse Atkins walked into the conference meeting prepared with my notes previously emailed and brought in another attorney who could provide additional legal support (Mr. Brian) My first conference call and experience with this law firm compelled me to share my highest recommendation.

ESTATE RESOLUTION

Upon our oldest brother's passing my [3] brothers and I had the task ahead of us resolving his issues and closing his estate. We had no idea what to do. Three of us are out of state with one in Ohio. Somewhere along the line we were referred to Mr. Atkins. What a life-saver!! It wasn't an easy road t...o travel working our brother's issues but Jesse made it all painless doing everything we had no idea how to go about. He kept us well informed and constantly up to date. He was always very professional in his communication and prompt with his responses. He made the probate and closure of the estate as painless as possible. I guess the best compliment I could pay him is to Say that if we (I) were ever in the same situation again we (I) would not hesitate to hire him again. Thank you Jesse...

Jesse helped me with all the details to resolve my brother's estate. He was really helpful and easy to work with. If I'm ever in a similar situation, I will be contacting Jesse.

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.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • 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.
