Very Satisfied

Back in May of 2019 my mother and I consulted and then hired Mr Stein to prepare my mother's Trust documents. He was very professional and personable at every meeting. I have had other lawyers express frustration over my ignorance of the law, however Mr Stein never did, he always answered our quest...ions patiently. In 2019 he listened to us explain our situation and took copious notes. When reviewing the documents he had prepared, we were very happy to see how he deftly and delicately explained that I was inheriting the house solely and not my sibling. All the documents were placed in a binder that was well organized. He also gave me all the documents as PDF files which really came in handy. After my mother passed, I contacted Mr Stein. We went over the trust and he sent a tailor-made to-do list to me so I could get my mom's affairs wrapped up without becoming overwhelmed. He, of course, handled the more difficult tasks. Working with Mr Stein made a tough time for me more easy. I highly recommend Mr Stein and would hire him again.

Fantastic Estate Planning Experience

My wife and I were looking for a lawyer who specialized in estate planning as we wanted to create a comprehensive estate plan. After interviewing several law firms we chose the Law Office of James D. Stein. James was very professional, knowledgeable, courteous and answered all our questions in a time...ly manner. The entire process from the initial consultation to getting the trust signed was smooth and easy. I would highly recommend this law firm.

Fantastic Estate Lawyer

James is awesome. He's professional, knowledgeable, easy going, patient, kind, and thorough. We'd been dragging our feet on creating a trust, wills, and all the grown up stuff. James was a saint as he walked us through the entire process from start to finish. Without his patient perseverance, I doubt... we would've finished. I highly recommend James' services and would happily work with him again.

Thank You So Much!

We had a wonderful experience working with James Stein on setting up a Trust and Will for our family. We had a scheduled trip overseas coming up and were very delayed in setting anything up. We have children and property, but had nothing documented or set up for an event that one of us or both of us ...suddenly pass away. James has been very supportive and was able to complete the most crucial documents before our departure. He was respectful of our schedules and commutes and was flexible enough to meet us at our house. He walked us through the process clearly and made the entire experience funner than we anticipated. We are extremely grateful to him for giving us a peace of mind before the trip. We can now sleep better at night, knowing that we took steps to ensure our family will be better taken care of.

Great job for our estate plan

We hired James to prepare our estate plan. He was thorough, patient and prepared everything according to the timeline he laid out for us. We couldn't be happier with James' work and recommend him highly.
