Step-Parent Adoption

I wish I could give Stimpson and his team more than five stars! Stimpson was my attorney for a drawn out - emotional case. He kept me level headed, focused, and most importantly, prepared. He always answered every single question I had throughout the process and always took time to listen to my conce...rns. Stimpson tells it to you just like it is - whether you like it or not. I genuinely appreciate his advice, his honesty, and his straightforward attitude. He never filled my mind with unrealistic expectations, always reminding me that no matter the outcome - everything was going to be okay. Stimpson is knowledgeable of the law, passionate about what he does, professional on every level, and personable with his clients. He always made time in his schedule for a meeting or to give me a phone call. Stimpson and his staff kept me updated and well informed throughout our entire process. My fight was his fight and that was evident in the courtroom. Stimpson was worth every. single. penny. A BIG thank you to him and his team - I definitely will be recommending Stimpson & Associates whenever I can.

Great Experience!

Dave helped me navigate all the paperwork and rules involved with handling my father's estate. He was incredibly professional, knowledgeable and easy to work with. I couldn't have asked for a better lawyer and would gladly work with him again.

Trust/Estate Planning

I have referred multiple clients to David Stimpson for Estate Planning. I have followed up with those clients and all have had nothing but good things to say about Dave and his staff. They leave with a thorough understanding of their trusts and estate plans and how to utilize them through their lives....

Probate matter

Felt like the issue was handled professionally and with expertise. I wished I had come to Stimpson & Associates PC first. Dave explained every step of the process and we were able to achieve a positive outcome. I would recommed Stimpson & Associates to anyone and have told my friends to call if they ...have a problem and talk to Dave.

Family Law Client

Going through a divorce with an understanding attorney like David Stimpson, makes the entire experience less scary and very comforting knowing you have someone on your side who is awesome at what they do and always there to explain the intimidating process. I recommend this office to everyone because... not only did I get the results I was looking for, but I now know who I will go to if I ever have any problems in the future. They do it all!
