Estate Attorney Review - Orange County, Riverside

Don Wight has been handling my estate matters for 10 years. He consistency demonstrates professionalism, responsiveness, proactive communication when needed and a deep knowledge of estate law past present and future. His is very competent and trustworthy which are unique attributes amongst attorne...ys these days. His fees have been very affordable as compared to other estate attorneys. I would highly recommend Don Wight. You will not find anyone more careful, trustworthy and competent in handling your estate matters and legal affairs.

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.
