Family Trust

My wife and I (68 and 60) were very concerned about a family trust. With a great deal of research we decided on Mark Dodds. What a wonderful decision this was on our part. Almost immediately he had us at ease. Very knowledgeable attorney, explained everything on our level and has a magnificent suppor...t staff. We had our completed trust within days. We highly recommend Mr. Dodds

Trust/Will Update

Initial consultation was for a basic update to my will/trust. What I actually needed was a rewrite to both will/trust. Mark was very patient and worked with me on all the changes that needed to be made and provided an awesome finished product.

Excellent Service

My mom needed a new will and we were referred by a lawyer friend from back east to Grant, Morris, Dodds, so they took care of her a few years back. Then after my mom died in 2023, there was a whole lot of red tape with a trust she didn’t remember and I didn’t know existed. The house I was living i...n was in that trust. Mark Dodds and Jason Aivaz were on it and had all the paperwork squared away for me to have my brother sign over his share of the house to me and I was able to purchase it last year (it was a reverse mortgage in the end, so I owed a lot of money and had to take out a mortgage), but the important thing to me is that it was mine and not taken by the bank. Then, Mark Dodds prepared my will and trust for me after that separately. I am so grateful to these wonderful lawyers for their incredible, hard work and dedication to helping me secure what was my parents’ house for 25 years and is now mine. I highly recommend Mark Dodds and Jason Aivaz to help you with all your legal needs.

BEST CREDIT SPECIALIST

I had eviction removed from my credit report, and I still can’t believe PINNACLE CREDIT SPECIALIST raise my credit score to 804 excellent score within few days. He also helps me apply for PPP loan with the sum of $35k which reflect in my bank account with a low interest rate. I saw a lot of good revi...ews about his works and he would respond swiftly.

Estate Planning

Mr. Dodds was very friendly and thorough. We created an estate plan with trusts that will simplify access to assets for my children. Mr. Dodds explained all the details carefully to be sure we understood.

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.
