Wills and Living Wills

Will was instrumental in developing our Last Will and Testament/Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care Decisions. His explanation of the process was thorough and informative. Will created our plan based on our specific needs and offered us the most valuable legal advice. He was kind, patient an...d answered all of our questions and concerns.

Lance

William far exceeded my expectations and was such a kind person to work with. After being served with a lawsuit, I was worried and unsure how to proceed. William guided me through the process and we reached an outcome far better than I anticipated. I gladly recommend him for his work ethic and compas...sion, and will definitely work with him again if I need legal counsel.

Excellent service

Will was great to work with in regards to the recent dog attack that my dog and I suffered through. He kept me informed of all the state laws regarding dog attacks and what is expected from the owners. In addition, he checked in with me before and after the court hearing. He is very flexible and acco...mmodating. I was very blessed and fortunate to have him as my lawyer! Highly recommend!

Living Will

Will sat down with us and patiently explained the will writing process as well as answered all of our questions. He provided us examples of situations we never would have imagined that is important in the process and talked us through how we should approach each scenario.

Start-up non-compete and stock option review

I was joining a start-up as non-founding employee number on. I needed to make sure that my non-compete was not overly restrictive, and that my stock option contracts reasonable. Will was able to explain the contracts clearly and point out sections that required extra attention to make sure that I und...erstood how they could affect my goals.
