Disappointed in the Demeanor

Mr. Weeks was supposed to be the expert in estate planning and elder care, which is why we went to him for the will, trust and other elder issues. He was not at first helpful; he ran through everything and didn't seem to want to spend the time to explain anything. We finally told him we found him le...ss than helpful, and then he was a little better. He never gave advice about medicare and nursing home issues, and he promised to look into the veteran benefits, but never did. We truly felt he wasn't interested in us. We felt we got a decent product, but that it was not necessarily taylored to our concerns. We recommend him only because he is the only one in the St. Charles area that is supposed to be certified in elder care issues.

First off, I would like to say that I am sorry your experience didn’t fully meet your expectations. I would be happy to discuss this further with you to see what could be done to try to help. However, since the review was anonymous, I have no way to reach out, and I have no way to know what may have happened in this case. I can assure you that this type of complaint is not usual at all for our firm, it’s actually the opposite, but we do take feedback seriously. I hope you do reach out.

Expert Guidance for Wills and Trusts

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.

Highly Recommend

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 comforta...ble. I have already recommended him to several of our friends and family members who want to start planning for the future.

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.
