Excellent!

Alexis was extremely helpful after the unexpected death of a family member. She was very knowledgeable and walked me through the probate and tax process. She was very responsive to my many questions. I would highly recommend her!

The weight of worry is gone.

Alexis is sharp, personable and professional. She absolutely knows what she's doing and when she said she would handle things, she totally did! She knows how to break things down and explain them in a meaningful way. Her word is good. I felt that a huge worry had been lifted from my shoulders wh...en she handled our estate settlement affairs. I cannot say enough good about the experience we had with Alexis at the helm. She kept us informed, kept the process moving along, kept us from missing anything we needed to do and always responded to our questions and concerns. I had no idea there were so many issues involved in settling a seemingly uncomplicated estate. I'm so glad we didn't try to handle it without help. And I'm so glad that we found Alexis. I honestly stopped worrying the day she took over.

A smart lawyer that I could actually be friends with!

My husband and I found Ms. Singletary through our legal insurance. This was our third or fourth attempt at finding a lawyer to help with our guardianship petition,and i was very disappointed with the other lawyers I talked to. It was a pleasant surprise to find such a knowlegable lawyer who seems to ...actually care how our case goes. She responds quickly to email, sends us copies of everything she does, and has been so helpful in getting our petition filed and processed. Her advice has been golden and has saved us quite a bit of money. What I like the most is that because she is also a Guardian ad Litem, she really understands the process and can explain it to us in clear language. When we left her office, my husband I and both commented that the experience felt more friendly than any other interaction with a lawyer before. I trust her to handle our case, and I don't trust lawyers easily. And, I plan to use Ms. Singletary in the future to file our required paperwork related to our guardianship. I strongly refommend her services to anyone looking for help with senior citizen, estate, or other family matters.
