Communicative and personable

Trey is communicative, personable, and very effective. He helped us to write up our wills in a very easy and reasonably priced way. We would definitely recommend.

Trey is the the attorney to help you with hard decisions

Trey is professional, extremely knowledgeable, clear and detailed with his explanations and very friendly. He made the process extremely easy and stress free. My husband and I will highly recommend him to friends and family.

Expert Guidance

Trey Stiles carefully walked me through every step when probating my husband's will. I am not one for legalese, and he walked me through every part of it. I was allowed to ask as many questions along the way ( which I did). He provided the expert guidance, knowledge and experience that I needed to ac...complish my task. I would highly recommend Trey Stiles.

Perfect Probate

The unusual thing is that I agree with most of the other reviews. Trey Stiles is personable, professional and and knowledgeable. The one thing I can add is that Mr. Stiles gives off the impression of being extremely calm. Whenever I felt that things were not going well, all I had to do was call or ...email him and he would calm me down immediately. I highly recommend Trey Stiles as your probate attorney.

Commercial real estate lawyer | Mar 28

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. Mr. Stiles, Trey, is a straight shooter and very professional and honest. He doesn't play games or brinkmanship like some lawyers do. He espouses the highest standard of ethics and although he zealously advocates for his client he does it in a highly ethical way, as our profession demands but many opposing counsel get too carried away in representing their clients and forget how they should treat their fellow colleagues and adversaries. I endorse Trey. He's a very good and thorough attorney."

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.
