Probate made easy!

Highly Recommend!!

We hired Trey for a debt collection issue that we had for one of our customers in Texas. Trey kept us informed at ALL times about any progress or any event that happened during the 2 years that he was hired by us. We never had to request for an update and the best part of all is that he managed to collect the entire amount outstanding by the debtor including additional fees. In this case our outcome was very positive. We will definitely hire Trey for any debt collections we have in Texas. Keep up the good work!! Very professional also.

Probate made easy!

Mr. Stiles (Trey) made my probate case fast and easy. This was my first experience for probate court. I hired Trey after talking to him the first time. He told me what probate was all about, asked for what he needed to get the job done, I provided the information, and it went smoothly and quickly. If you need a probate attorney I would recommend Trey in a heart beat. He is a straight shooting, and honest man that gets the job done. The experience was a positive one.

Very knowledgeable and responsive

A family member passed away without a will, and Trey helped with getting the debts handled and the assets distributed. He was very easy to work with and knowledgeable with all my questions. On rare occasions when he didn't know the answer, he researched it and got back to me in a timely manner. Every time I contacted him, he was always very responsive and replied to me within a day.

Extremely Helpful and Easy to Work With

I came to David (Trey) at a very challenging time; he was (is) very kind and knowledgeable, and his expertise made the process smooth and less intimidating. I will recommend him to everyone I know and have already discussed the need for further legal advice and guidance from him in the coming months.

Probate and Family Settlement

Trey did a great job negotiating our family settlement with our family and our step-family related by marriage due to the fact there were multiple conflicting wills and prenups in play. He avoided costly legal work and court appearances and worked with me and all family members and the other family's attorney in a constructive way to leave all members feeling they got a fair settlement. Trey is very easy to work with, very friendly and able to answer questions in his area of expertise. Highly recommend Trey.

Great lawyer

Trey was great and did a fantastic job for us. He is very knowledgeable and meticulous. He provide high quality service and representation. Thanks Trey!

Truly professional

Trey was terrific. Our family had a bit of an unusual situation needing to draw up 4 intermingled wills. Trey was flexible with us as getting 4 people with differing work schedules was a challenge. He was easy to work with, flexible with our schedules and truly understood our needs.

Unqualified Recommendation for Five Stars

I can recommend Trey Stiles with no reservations to assist anyone who needs to make out a will and to make decisions about final hospital stays. He was patient with my delaying tactics once I had gotten on board, but prompted me in such a way as to spring me into action. A friend, suspicious that he might be a shyster, investigated as if Agatha Christie's Miss Marple and found that he has an impeccable reputation. He is both a stickler for details and an understanding, warm-blooded person. I am grateful to have secured him as my attorney. Walter Lewis Garvin

Excellent help for an Estate Probate

Services were very well done! He had a very positive attitude for my probate case. I had great confidence in his expertise in all of the procedures. I would highly recommend Trey Stiles.

Posted by anonymous | July 8, 2022

great experience

We had wills re-done due to changed circumstances and Mr. Stiles was able to prepare new ones along with accompanying powers of attorney documents very quickly. He was very responsive, and all communications with him were clear and concise. It was a pleasure to work with him.

Posted by Fred | September 8, 2021

Great for folks scared of Lawyers

Trey was hired to help with a family matter and to draw up our Last Wills and Testament documents. He explained everything in a way that my wife and I could understand. Trey Stiles has great people skills and is very fair in his billing. I highly recommend Trey to prepare your legal documents or family matters.

Estate Planning

I hired Trey to setup my parents Will, Medical P of A, Statutory P of A, and Directive to Physicians. Trey made the process very simple and easy. Trey explained all in great detail. Thank you Trey for all your help.

Probate and Will

Trey helped probate my husband's will and helped me to revise my will. He was a big help each time his expertise was needed. I highly recommend Trey.

Estate Law

Stiles was professional, knowledgeable and helped me through the process of estate law. He kept me informed of what was upcoming and what I needed to accomplish to expedite the process. I would definitely recommend him.

Posted by Andrew | May 24, 2021

Responsive, professional and up-front!

He is the very best lawyer that I consulted with so far in the Houston TX area. I live in MD and needed a lawyer for my father. I contacted more than 20 offices but he was one of the few to back to me promptly. He was very responsive (responded within a day), professional (answers all my questions clearly), and very up-front with my needs. He was not able to take my father's case but I feel grateful for all the help he provided to us.

Trey Stiles, attorney, was hired by me as my out-of-state attorney. I read on the AVVO site that he had experience and expertise in the field of my particular case, so after a phone consultation I decided he was the right attorney for my needs. He was able to use his resources during this Covid period to help navigate my case from beginning to end for what I consider to be a complicated and difficult probate case. He was fair, honest, kind and thorough.

Exceptional

Being struck by the loss of the loved one and totally lost in a legal jungle of bureaucracy, Mr.Stiles provided an exceptionally professional service and guidance with deep knowledge of probation procedures and legislation, understanding, patience and kindness towards client’s needs and expectations. Highly recommended.

Posted by Troy | December 4, 2020

Estate Trust Settlement

He helped us get through the settlement of a grantor trust with a trustee that was reluctant to move forward. His rates and hours were very reasonable for the quality of representation we received. Even though the whole process ended up taking around 9 months, Trey kept the number of hours to a minimum while we were waiting for the other party to respond and when progress was being made he seemed to be as efficient as possible. He listened to our needs and concerns and made sure that the resulting agreement provided us with peace of mind that the matter was truly settled.

Industrial Debt collections

Being from out of state Trey made it easy to handle a debt collection. Very upfront with cost and timelines. He was able to collect the money owed to me in a timely fashion.

Posted by L Wood | June 22, 2020

Professional, Friendly & Reliable

I’ve worked with several attorneys in the pass, and not one compares to the service I received from Trey at Stiles Law Firm. From the beginning Trey was very attentive to my situation and he gave thorough and detailed information about the process. During the process we had excellent communication, he provided prompt updates when available for my company. Awesome customer service, very professional and highly recommended!
