Estate Planning

We hired Ms. Whisenant to set up a trust that lays out a specific plan protecting our daughter (and anticipated second child) in the unlikely event of our deaths. Ms. Whisenant was clear with her explanations of how the trust would function and what our options were, helping us choose what worked the... best for our situation. We found her to be very personable as well as efficient, organized, and responsive. Her knowledge and abilities were invaluable in setting up the trust so that we can be assured that our children will be cared for no matter what.

Excellent estate planning experience

Kori was truly excellent to work with. I knew that estate planning was something that my family needed to do, but I didn't know how to go about it or what was involved. Kori was brilliant at educating us on all our options and guiding us through the process so that we could be sure that our family's... affairs would be handled in the way that worked best for us. She was extremely responsive, patient, prepared, organized, and thorough. I am thrilled that we were able to work with her to get our affairs in order and ensure that our children would be taken care of should the worst happen. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for estate planning assistance.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
