Theodore David Vicknair

I consulted several lawyers in my area to inquire on what I needed to do after the unfortunate passing of my Wife. Mr. Vicknair was by far the best out of them all and was chosen to represent me. He informed me of what needed to be done, how long it would take, and what it would cost. All my question...s were answered with great detail and patience. He is very confident and knowledgeable and the price's were very fair compared to the other quotes I was getting. Everything went very smoothly and without any problems. Mr. Vicknair did such a good job with my Wife's Estate that I also decided to retain him for my Last Will and Testament which included a Power of Attorney, and Health Power of Attorney. Just like the first time, everything went very smoothly and without any problems. I felt very safe dealing with Mr. Vicknair.

My sibling misused a power of attorney to prematurely take control of my father's life and put him in a nursing home two hours away from his home. Luckily for my father, Ted was the first attorney called to help my father. Ted pushed back on the nursing home's refusal to let him meet with my father.... Ted drove 30 miles to bring my father a new durable power of attorney and healthcare power of attorney to sign. Ted doing that put my father back in control of his life and got him back home within a week. Throughout the whole process, Ted answered all of the questions my father and I had about the powers of attorney. He explained every part of the powers of attorney to my father when he met with him and even answered the questions my cousins asked as witnesses. Ted is very good and patient at listening to what you want and then explaining complex legal concepts while going over all of your options. My father likes and trusts Ted so much, that he had Ted create two trusts and a new will. My father was more than happy to drive four hours round trip on two different occasions to meet with Ted to sign documents. That's how much my father likes and trusts Ted. My father wanted things in the trusts that aren't allowed by law. Ted did a great job of explaining to my father that the law didn't allow some of the things my father wanted, but Ted did research to come up with legally allowed solutions to achieve nearly the same thing my father wanted. Ted worked really hard and patiently to give my father everything he wanted. Ted treated my father and me with with respect, honesty, patience and compassion while giving us great legal advise and services. He's a great attorney and an even better person.

We retained Mr. Vicknair to help us with updating our wills, which due to some unusual circumstances was a very complex process. He provided us with excellent advice and was very patient in answering all of our questions. He even provided us with new Powers of Attorney as a part of the update. We hig...hly recommend Mr. Vicknair and would not hesitate to retain him again.

We hired Mr. Vicknair to use his expertise to setup a trust for our mother. Our goal was to make sure her estate was protected and would relieve any burden on her. He was extremely knowledgeable on all aspects of elder law and tailored a trust that included her Last Will and Testament, Power of Atto...rney, and Health Power of Attorney. He was patient with our many questions and never rushed us with any meetings or calls we had with him. His professionalism and ethics are unquestionable. We highly recommend using Mr. Vicknair and will continue to utilize his legal expertise in the future as our needs require.

As an insurance and financial services professional I am very picky about who I refer my clients to. I have referred about 5 of my clients to Ted, and so far I have not been disappointed. Ted's ability to explain the process goes far beyond the typical attorney/client experience. No question is a ...dumb question and he takes the time to answer them all. Ted is great with follow up, and there are many times he has taken phone calls from me with no financial gain to himself. I consider him not only a business asset to myself and my clients, but also a friend. I've only known him a couple of years, but I'm convinced that I will work with him for many years to come. I don't work with Ted due to lack of options. We are approached constantly by estate planning attorneys attempting to establish a referral relationship. I have and will continue to choose Ted because he has proven himself time and again to be compassionate, empathetic, and patient.
