Probate....what do I do next?

If you are in need of an attorney who will help you through a difficult time, then Keith Moten is the person to call on. My mother passed a few years ago and shortly there after I found myself in midst of probate hearings. I did not know what to do or who to call but was referred to Keith by a co-wor...ker. During our initial meeting, Keith assured me that he would provide great counsel and walk with myself and my siblings through this process and he did just that. After almost 2 years our case was resolved and both my siblings and myself are happy with the settlement. I am certain if I found myself in a similar situation again, I would definitely know who to call!

Great Attorney

Very knowledgeable, great client/attorney relationship. Explained everything clearly. I was very happy with this recommendation.

Great

I hired Mr. Moten on a trust matter, and he was great. He was always responsive, kept me in the loop in terms of what was going on in the case, always returned my calls. But ultimately, he did what I hired him for--got my brother, the executor of the trust, to give me the money he owed me after eig...ht years! I'd highly recommend Mr. Moten to anyone facing any problem with wills or trust. If I hadn't hired him, I would have never gotten my inheritance. Thank God!

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.
