Very satisfied client

We are very pleased for the opportunity to write this review. Mr. Falvay has been our main attorney for 16 years. With all of our needs including inheritance issues and trusts he has been fair, honest, creative, innovative and prompt. We own a small corporation and he has taken care of our ...business needs as well. We have had some experience with other law firms both huge and small. Most have been competent but none have ever come close to Mr. Falvay's performance in all areas. Thank you again Mr. Falvay.

Estate planning lawyer | Feb 23

Relationship: Co-worker

"I have found Kirk Falvay to be an excellent resource as a mentor for a younger lawyer like myself. Kirk is extremely knowledgeable as to all areas of estate and tax planning, asset protection as well as probate and trust administration. In addition to his extensive knowledge, I have found Kirk to be an incredibly thoughtful and caring individual; traits which serve him will when dealing with areas of law which can be emotionally excruciating for families who are dealing with an unexpected loss or complex estate issues. Because I have found his knowledge and professional skills to be of the highest quality available in the areas in which he practices, I give Kirk my highest endorsement."
