Posted by William | June 28, 2010 | Probate

Knowledgable, down to earth, efficient

I had to probate my father's estate. It seemed complicated because of an issue with one of my siblings, so I decided to find an attorney. A friend referred me to Mike. He made the probate process as bearable as possible. He got the initial documents complete in less than 2 days because I was in t...own for only a short period. He was very responsive when I had questions and took great care of my family. My wife and I ended getting our estate plan done through him also.
