Fast, Efficient, Thorough

My Estate Planning with Blaine went great! From the initial consultation, through document drafting and review, to final sign-off, he and his staff were courteous, professional and answered all my questions. No surprises and good communications.

Vehicle Accident Settlement

Blaine recently assisted my wife and I on an vehicle accident settlement. As most normal, college educated individuals, we were totally in the dark regarding how large insurance companies manage this process. While at a stop light, and in the turning lane, our vehicle was hit from behind by another... vehicle going at an excessive rate of speed. When Blaine took over, he realized it was more than just a "basic settlement". He brought the process to a satisfactory conclusion. He also kept us informed on a regular basis regarding progress.

Estate planning made easy !

Blaine did a wonderful job for us with our Estate Planning. He helped make what can be a very dry and tedious process, into an much more easy to understand family planning tool. Blaine was always available for questions and was extremely timely with his responses and completed work. I would gladly ... recommend Blaine and I would use his services again should the need arise.

Blaine Cartlidge

Blaine has demonstrated the breadth and depth of his abilities as my attorney for several decades. From small corporate matters to contracts and negotiations, residential and commercial real estate, landlord-tenant, a revocable trust and powers of attorney, asset preservation, and lawsuits for and ag...ainst me and my businesses, Blaine proved over and again his competency, dedication and responsiveness. There's not one thing I would not take to Blaine for legal and tactical advice. He makes me feel like mine is the only case that is important to him and works diligently until it is complete.
