Estate Planning

My husband and I have a toddler and wanted to plan for his future should anything happen to us. Mr. Tilson helped us with our wills, powers of attorney, etc. We feel so much more at ease knowing we have a plan in place for our son's future.

General practice lawyer | Aug 07

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I highly recommend Mr. Tilson as an attorney and as a mentor for young lawyers. As a lawyer, Attorney Tilson works tirelessly for his clients and takes time and care with each individual - a quality which I both admire and find rare in this profession. He is a constant professional. Even in the face of the most vicious of personal attacks towards him or his client, Steve does not take his eyes off the issues. I have enjoyed the few cases we have been involved with together and often find myself sitting back and just watching the man work. As a mentor, he is someone that I have turned to on countless occasions for advice - both legal and personal - and he has yet to lead me astray. He is an invaluable asset to our profession and for those young lawyers who want to see law practiced the right way, you need only watch Steve Tilson."

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.
