Living Trust process thorough and easy!

Living Trust The whole process was so incredibly easy. Mr. Pickford explained everything so clearly and told my husband and I everything we needed to do and then we all got to work on everything that needed to be done. Hazel was amazing during the whole process of completing our will and trust. She ...kept us informed and reminded us of what needed to be done to get to completion. It was an easy process and we are so grateful for Pickford law!

I would highly refer Mr. Pickford to anyone who needs his expertise.

My elderly mother needed a trust because, the trust she had made a few years back was not valid, the company that made it, did not complete it, and it was not of any use. I was referred to Mr. Pickford by a friend, and I could not have been more pleased. Mr. Pickford was very compassionate, underst...anding and I felt heard. When he spoke with my mother, he spoke very kindly, and with a gentleness an elderly person needs to feel at ease. He and his staff were very professional and accommodating. I would highly refer Mr. Pickford to anyone who needs his expertise.

I have reviewed your Avvo Review. Our office does not fit the description of your comments towards our office staff. We are not able to identify you, since you are not providing me with your name, therefore we assume you are not a client of this office. Please refer to all the positive comments on my Web Page from current and former clients. I am very proud of my office staff and the quality of work our office renders.

Estate Planning

My husband and myself had been talking about getting started with our Estate Planning months before Covid-19. We had been referred to Pickford Law by a friend who was extremely happy with the service she received. Mr. Pickford and his staff were extremely professional, kind and made the whole proces...s stress free. We were also very appreciative of their efforts to keep us and themselves safe during this pandemic. We would and have referred friends and family to Pickford Law.
