Robert E Millsap reference

Robert was recommended by a colleague when my family was doing some complicated estate planning. He was kowledgeable and provided solutions to our situation we hadn't thought of. Not only did he keep us informed every step of the way, he also let us know what to expect down the road. Robert was ea...sy to work with and very reasonable. We used Robert again a few years later in a complicated real estate battle in which he was able to resolve our situation in a relatively short amount of time, thus saving us a lot of time and money in the process. My family and I find Robert to be very professional, knowledgeable and a highly ethical person. Not only would I use his firm again, I would highly recommend Robert to family, friends and others in need of legal services.

All of my legal affairs are in good order

Mr. Millsap has been my estate planning attorney for fifteen years. I have felt very good about his work in establishing my legal documents related to my estate and heirs. He has called my attention to areas I had no thought of and he has been responsive to my requests; including a Cat Trust for my... pet felines. I feel relaxed that all of my affairs are in good order.

I don't know what we would have done without Robert Millsap

When my mom was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s we knew we needed to work quickly to get her affairs in order. Robert Millsap helped us navigate the maze of estate planning and Medicaid qualification. He was compassionate and always took the time to explain our options in a way that was easy to understand.... Working with Robert made this difficult process so much easier and allowed us to focus on the most important thing – Mom’s wellbeing.

Robert Millsap was my family's rock when it came to dealing with both my parents' estates. He was recommended by a friend and I have contiunued to pass along his name to everyone who has had to deal with aging parents.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Experience counts. Robert Millsap has devoted his career to helping his clients manage, protect, and distribute their assets and estates to their loved ones. I am a fellow attorney in Seattle, with a private practice in family law. Mr. Millsap and I have spent many hours over the years discussing issues of mutual interest. I have always been impressed with Mr. Millsap's intelligence, compassion, and good humor. His insight and sympathetic advice on estate planning and elder law are remarkable and inspiring. He is well known and respected among our judges, commissioners, and fellow attorneys. I would never hesitate to refer my own family law clients to him for his sage advice."

Relationship: Other

"I endorse Robert Millsap. I met Robert about fifteen years ago when we shared office space in downtown Seattle. My practice is in transactional real estate and business transfers. Robert’s mostly focuses on estate planning, probate and elder law. Since the nature of each of our representations tend often to overlap in our practices we have over the years relied on each other’s expertise. For example, real estate transactions may involve probate and estate issues. When I get into an issue with probate and estates, I know I have a great resource in Robert. We talk through the facts and issues. His thoughtful and knowledgeable analysis gives me the solution to the issue to rapidly move the transaction to closing. When my client’s issues are beyond my expertise in probate and estates I unhesitatingly refer my client to Robert. He is an invaluable resource."

"I endorse this lawyer. Because I practice in some of the same areas of law that Attorney Millsap does, I have had the privilege of reviewing many of his answers. His responses to Avvo questioners invariably show not only a strong understanding of the relevant legal concepts, but also provide great practical information, as well. I would not hesitate to contact Attorney Millsap for any questions involving probate, estate planning or elder law issues. He is a great resource for Washington residents as well as for the Avvo community. James Frederick"
