Mr. Shutts, Thank you SO VERY MUCH for working with me. It was worth the drive to your Law Office to recieve the professional help I needed with my will as there was a lot at stake! Thank you a million times over. Lawyers here in Fort Worth saw that I had a lot to gain & their fees were astronomical...!! I recommend you to any one that you have expertise in handling their affairs. You are awesome! I will post my name & information proudly . Charlotte Burns Arlington, Tx. 76017

Couldn't have picked a better attorney

Isaac is an excellent probate attorney with heart. He successfully guided me through a very complicated probate process (mother died intestate, substantial medical bills and majority of assets going to the estate) with a better outcome than I had thought possible. Isaac is efficient, organized, knowl...edgeable and his fees are very reasonable. The most important thing I can share about Isaac is that he is honest, trustworthy and really cares about his clients - not like a lot of other attorneys out there who don't take the time to really know their clients and their needs. He was the only attorney that didn't give me that "gross" feeling when you know someone does not have your best interest in mind. I highly recommend Isaac D. Shutt to anyone who needs a professional, honest, knowledgeable, caring probate attorney.

Thanks Isaac for easing my fears

Isaac is a very professional and knowledgeable attorney. Finding a lawyer is not an easy task and not knowing who to trust is even a harder task. Isaac has a way of putting you at ease and helping you through the legal process. I don't what I would have done had it not been for Isaac. I will be refer...ring all my family and friends to Shutt Law Firm.

An Excellent Lawyer to Have in your Corner for Probate

Isaac is a professional and very knowledgeable probate attorney. He's pleasant to work with and has flexible appointments so that it is easy to meet with him. The probate of my Mom's will went very smoothly and the court appearance flowed through with ease as Isaac had all the appropriate paperwork... completed accurately and on time. I would recommend Isaac D. Shutt to anyone who needs assistance with probate.

Walking me through probate with ease

Isaac is professional and knowledgeable and made the probate process simple and stress free. Going to court can be intimidating so it helped to have Isaac there to guide me and make sure all filings and notices required were done on time and properly signed. Isaac was very prompt to answer my questi...ons and made my appointments convenient for me so I didn't have to miss work to meet with him. I would recommend Isaac Shutt to anyone needed help with a Will or the Probate process.

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.
