Impressive

I was impressed from the beginning of the process to the end. The professionalism of his staff is second to none. I hired Wayne to not only help me with my estate planning but to advise me on some business entity advise as well. I felt at ease at all times with him and was impressed at his passion fo...r what he does. The staff is courteous and helpful as well.

recommending Wayne Ball

Have used Wayne Ball for my revocable trust for many years and feel confident the document created will serve me well. Wayne has asked specific questions to ensure the revocable trust delivers for the short term and long term. Wayne waits patiently as I ramble verbally regarding my thoughts, w...ishes, and concerns for my beneficiaries.Wayne captures my ramblings accurately for the revocable trust document. I feel the revocable trust provides just what I need and want for the unpredictable future... Money well spent for the creation of my revocable trust! Staff at the office are nice and helpful too.

revocable estate trust

Wayne Ball created my trust and helped me understand current issues as well as unpredictable long term future issues. I am confident my trust is thorough and will be an effective means of handling my estate upon my death, while allowing continued access to everything in my estate while alive. One ...very nice benefit is the filing of my medical related power of attorney and my medical decision in DOCUBANK and the the wallet card that provides the necessary information for accessing the documents .

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.
