Wills and a Trust

Hired Nick to prepare Wills for my Wife and I, as well as a living Trust for my daughter. Nick did a great job. We were entirely satisfied with his services, and his fees were reasonable. Also worth noting that he shares office space with a larger law firm, so he has access to resources that a one ma...n operation might not. Would use Nick again.

Responsive, Focused, Knowlegable and Honest

I am happy to give my strongest recommendation to Mr. Souza. I hired him to help me draft a prenuptial agreement and what I thought was going to be a painful process turned out to be just fine! He clearly has integrity and you can tell when he plainly tells you what to expect and how the process ...works. I always felt that I had his complete attention when we spoke and whenever I emailed him, he emailed me back very quickly. I plan to hire him again to help me draft a will.

Helpful, Efficient, Knowledgeable

I engaged Mr. Souza to re-write my Will and accompanying estate planning documents. He was very efficient and knew all of the correct and important questions to ask. He was very focused on me as a client, and I had his undivided attention at all of our meetings. If I specified something in my Will... that would not have played out the way I expected during probate, he was quick to catch those issues and offer alternative ways of dealing with them that would create the outcome I was looking for. He is young and just getting started, but I have to say that he is smart, alert and represented my interests effectively. I can now rest assured that if something happens to me, the Will that Mr. Souza prepared ensures that my wishes will be carried out to my expectations.

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.
