Review of Ron Walters, attorney

I recently had my Will completed by Ron Walters of Willwright Estate Planning. I found Ron to be professional & knowledgeable & was so impressed that he also was willing to give me advice & help me resolve another legal issue that arose right after my will was complete. He has streamlined his process... to minimize how much he bills his clients & provides a choice of several locations to meet with him which is convenient. Ron is easy to communicate with, takes extra care to ensure that you understand the process, & is ethical. His focus is to provide quality service at an affordable price. I would recommend him to a friend.

Easy to work with

After I contacted Ron to discuss estate planning, my mother hired Ron to draft a complete package of estate documents at a predetermined fee. Ron was easy to work with and the entire process of creating a will, healthcare directive, POA, and other estate documents went smoothly. He was able to answer... questions thoroughly and was accessible after our initial appointment if any concerns came up. He was also able to explain other estate related concerns such as planning for real estate deed conveyance and having account beneficiaries set up to avoid a more costly and time consuming probate process down the road. Documents were all created and/or filed in an accurate and timely fashion.

Knowledgeable & Efficient

I had submitted requests for consultation to multiple Attorneys in my area. Ron was the first to take interest in our family's situation, and was willing to communicate via text for the benefit of my Grandma. (That was VERY helpful!) Before we had even decided whether or not to hire Ron, he ans...wered some rather specific questions reference Grandma's estate planning, and settled our family's nerves in a brief amount of time! I definitely recommend Ron to make sure you and yours are taking the proper steps and headed in the right direction.

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.
