Professional Trust Attorney

Blake Baxter met with my elderly father and me to talk about family trusts and probate. He explained everything clearly and made sure all our questions were answered. He is very knowledgeable, professional, friendly and showed a sincere desire to educate and assist us. We highly recommend Baxter Law....
