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!

Super helpful & knowledgeable

Everything was fantastic! Staff kept me updated on the progress of my trust. Carey explained everything thoroughly and answered all of my questions. Carey made sure to give me all my options, and what each one meant. The office was so helpful in processing my documents a little quicker when I had an ...unexpected medical issue pop while in the process of finalizing my trust. Great team of people to work with for getting a trust in place.

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.

Very professional, thorough and compassionate Attorney

Atty. Carey Pickford and his associate Gina Langley were AMAZING! Having to deal with my mother's estate problems, I came in with plenty of questions and concerns when it came time to preparing our own estate planning. Atty. Pickford was able to answer every question, every concern and even helped u...s to ease my concern over the problems I was dealing with already pertaining to my mother's estate. When I first contacted his office, the intake process was polite and very professional. I was emailed a packet to review and complete ahead of our appointment. This packet was easy to understand and complete and allowed us to think things through and have some of our questions answered in the process. When we met with Atty. Pickford and Gina for the initial appointment, both were thorough to address our concerns and were very compassionate and understanding because of the challenges I was already facing. They prepared our documents very quickly and professionally. I couldn't have asked for a more professional and complete package prepared. Gina is amazing and kept me informed and even personally dealt with the title transfer of our property quite quickly. AMAZING SERVICE!!!!
