Extremely helpful

Excellent estate planning and trust attorney

We found Mr. Miller-Bazemore via Avvo.com and we are glad that we did. Ethan handled our living revocable trust, financial power of attorney, health care advance directive, and pour over will. He also helped us revoke our previous trust. Once he finished our documents Ethan met with us and took hi...s time explaining the important aspects and answered all of our questions patiently and thoroughly. He is also a licensed notary public so it makes it very convenient once all the documents are completed. Best of all, Ethan also handles the funding of the trust via the county recorder. His rate is very reasonable for what he does. My wife and I have utmost trust in Ethan and we feel peace of mind now that our family is protected.

Excellent Legal Advice

I called Ethan for legal advice which one of my clients was seeking. We were in the middle of a real estate transaction and needed quick legal advice. Ethan was very professional and answered all of my client's questions. My client left my office with a sense of peace and relief. He later followed u...p with great advice regarding Living Trusts for our clients and how it benefits homeowners. He was very courteous and knowledgeable and I would personally recommend him to anyone.

Trust amendment

I do not live in California so I selected Ethan based on his ratings and reviews. He turned out to be as good as his reviews and ratings, which are excellent. He was given a very short time frame to review and amend my trust; he met those deadlines without a problem. He is very knowledgable about est...ate and trust planning. He provided additional advice for future revisions for me and my children. I will certainly hire him again and highly recommend him.

Great estate planning service

Ethan was very helpful with revising my living trust. He was knowledgeable about changes in the law since my last trust was drawn up many years ago. He was very personable and answered any question I had. It was a very reasonable rate as well.

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.
