All-around great lawyer!

Sidney came as a referral from a local gentleman of many properties that is very detail-oriented and picky as all get-out. Felt I was in good hands from the beginning. My estate matters were fairly straight-forward, my partner's matter were more complicated. Sidney did a great job with both! He i...s totally capable, extremely knowledgeable, VERY clear and easy to understand, kind, warm, friendly and an overall joy to work with. Sidney made me actually look forward to getting my will done! And who in matters of the modern world can make you say that? Much thanks, Sidney!

Sidney J. Braquet

Sidney prepared an updated Last Will and Testament for me and for my spouse. He visited with us in our home in Liberty Hill to review a previous will and note the additions and changes we wanted to make. A short time later, we met with Sidney in his Houston office where the documents were approved,... signed and witnessed. We appreciate Sidney’s willingness — and patience — to answer any questions and clarify terms, etc. We both were impressed with his organized presentation along with his relaxed but professional approach to a subject that is often difficult to address! We are very pleased with our experience.

Wills

I contacted Sidney Braquet to help re-do my Will. He was very informative about how he does Wills. Made me feel right at home in his office. No pressure to hurry and get it done. His explanation was very clear for me to understand as he's very patience. I have recommended him to several of my fr...iends. He also helped me with the understanding process of the Houston Deaf Senior Citizen Love Fund. I had to consult him since he had helped do the By Laws for it. He was really good at answering my questions. I do recommend him.

Sidney reviewed, advised and help to rewrite my revocable trust. He is an outstanding individual and very knowledgeable. He walked me through everything in language that I could understand. Took the time to listen to me and answer all my questions.
