      Review Michael Weeks

      Expert Guidance for Wills and Trusts

      Posted by

      Michael Weeks helped us create multiple complicated trusts. He was very thorough in his explanations and possible scenarios that we would not have thought about. We felt very confident in his expertise.

      I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Weeks recently when my husband and I set up our wills, power of attorneys and health care directives. We had a lot of questions as we were very unfamiliar with the process. Mr. Weeks did an awesome job of answering all of those questions and making us feel comfortable. I have already recommended him to several of our friends and family members who want to start planning for the future.

      Mr. Weeks may be great for Wills and Trusts, but for assistance with more critical issues, I would look elsewhere.

      Mr. Weeks appears knowledgeable in some areas, but when his attorney expertise is actually needed, he falls painfully short. A sibling moved in with our parent and took emotion & financial advantage. The state provided my parent with an attorney, and although we met with this attorney and Weeks to discuss the issues, the scheduled meeting with ALL parties never occurred. When we pressed Mr. Weeks about rescheduling the conference, he said that we could meet, but it would cost us thousands of more dollars to continue. We were left helpless when we needed it most, and the abuse continues.

      I have worked with Mike with one of his appeals. I also have consulted with him on elder care and related Medicaid issues. Mike has a wealth of knowledge about the regulations in this complex area of law. I strongly recommend Mike to my clients who are facing elder care issues.
