Estate Planning/Will

Paul Heatherman was terrific to work with. He thought of everything. Way more comprehensive than we were expecting. We can rest easy with our new trust and all the what ifs covered. So professional but also down to earth. I highly recommend Paul Heatherman for any estate planning, advanced directive,... will needs. He knows his stuff. As a landlord I'm glad to know that's an area of expertise as well. Hope we never need him in that capacity, but it's good to know he's there. Like

Approachable & Helpful

We needed an estate plan with wills, POAs and directives. We got several estimates and chose Paul. Paul was easy to talk to and very easy to understand. It was like talking to a good friend who was really smart. We got our estate plan done and couldn't be happier.

Living Trust

It was a pleasure working with Paul to set up our Living Trust. We appreciated the no pressure initial meeting where he educated us about the ins and outs of a living trust. Paul is knowledgeable, personable, and accessible. I will recommend Paul Heatherman to anyone interested in estate planning.

Great service

I've has Paul do some various legal work for me in the past. He was very thorough and professional. I called recently for some information and he called me right back and helped me out over the phone. Great service and professionalism.

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.
