Estate Planning

I am 80 years old and met with Mollie Whitehead to update my Will as well as review my other Trust documents. I also wanted to have Powers of Attorney set up. Mollie was professional, knowledgeable and efficient. She provided a great analysis, answered my questions on estate planning & I agreed she... should send me a draft of the items we agreed upon. That process took very little time & with a minimum of editing, we finalized & formally signed all the documents.

We recommend her for estate planning

Mollie provided all of the documents and expertise needed to complete our estate planning. We hired her to develop wills, healthcare power of attorneys, and business power of attorneys. She recommended me establish a family trust and provided all of the documents and took care of transferring ou...r real estate to the trust. We found Molly to be very knowledgeable, thorough, and efficient. She answered all of our questions and provided clear explanations for all the documents. We wholeheartedly recommend her.

15 year Probate question

I consulted with Molly in regards to a probate case that is ongoing 15 years after it was filed. With some of the suggestions she made the case that has been stalled for 15 years maybe coming to a conclusion after getting tips or what to say to the probate attorney after he has avoided questions for ...15 years only to say, it was nearing completion. If in 30 days we will hire this law firm, they are helpful and friendly.

First Class Attorney

I live in California and I was tasked with being the administrator of my cousin’s estate in Chicago. I was fortunate to find Mollie Whitehead to take the estate through probate. The process could not have gone more smoothly or efficiently. Mollie and the entire office staff were always pleasant an...d available to answer all of my questions. I recommend her without reservation and truly appreciate her professionalism and kindness.

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.
