Special Needs Trust

Gary has helped me on several occasions. He was very caring and compassionate during the process of securing a Trust for my handicapped son. Gary takes the time to get specifics for individual needs then explains the process step by step. His office staff are exceptional. I can highly recommend G...ary for any estate planning or settlements.

Easy Peasy

I needed to have my will done. Gary went over my options with me and explained every detail clearly. I had several questions and he explained everything. After the initial meeting, he supplied forms for me to review via email. We changed a few things, and had a final meeting for the signings and no...tarizing. What I initially thought would be stressful turned out to be easy peasy. I would highly recommend Gary Heggs for Estate Planning and Wills.

Estate Planning

In less than six months, Mr. Heggs settled my deceased husband's unusually difficult estate. He secured an Order of Refusal of Letters to Surviving Spouse, resulting in Title of Property, vested in my name; then advised me of steps to secure a Lien Release on my own, thus saving me money. I followe...d his suggestions and secured said Lien Release. He also drew-up my Last Will and Testament; Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care and Health Care Directive; HIPAA Release and Authorization; Declaration (Living Will); General Durable Power of Attorney. He also advised me of steps to secure a Beneficiary Deed, which I accomplished. Mr.Heggs came highly-recommended through friends, and I am passing-on this high recommendation to anyone requiring the service of a competent attorney. He also has the added advantage of what I refer to as a "desk-side" manner...he sincerely cares about his clients.

We had Mr. Heggs do some estate planning for us several years ago. He was very thorough and helpful in translating the legal terms into layman's language.

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.
