Family Trust
Crockett Law was informative and prompt in helping my family resolve our parents’ estate. He was also a great coach to me as the trustee when it came to responding to family member questions.
"I have known David Crockett for almost a decade. He has handled trust and real estate matters for several close friends. They were all extremely pleased with his representation. I have also had the opportunity to work with David on a difficult case involving a mutual client. David's expertise resulted in a successful resolution of our client's matter. David is hard working, incredibly knowledgeable, and truly cares about his clients and their families. He will do everything in his power to protect his clients and the legacy they wish to leave to their loved ones. I would not hesitate to send other fiends and family members to David in the event they needed expert representation in the areas of real estate and will and trusts."
"Mr. Crockett represented me in an estate matter. He did a very good job. I recommend him to others who have legal matters in this area."
"I am a trusts and estates lawyer in North Carolina. I worked with David on a very unusual case involving a California decedent, an unfunded California Revocable Trust, real property in North Carolina, and a Virginia Will probated in North Carolina. David did a masterful job dealing with all the California proceedings (including quelling some unwarranted opposition) and cleaning up mistakes from a prior attorney in California. I'd welcome the opportunity to work with him again anytime."
"It is without reservation, that I endorse attorney David Crockett. He is an extremely good lawyer and has more experience in the field than any other lawyer that I know."
