Estate Planning

I was interested in estate planning services, ie a Will and explanation on how to avoid probate. Michael was very knowledgeable and he was fairly priced. I felt very comfortable with him, and will be hiring him in the near future. I would recommend him to a close friend, family member, or neighbor....

Wonderful attorney - highly recommended.

I found Michael Oats to be very professional and well informed about all legal aspects of estate planning. Most important to me is that Michael really listens to you and is very patient and considerate. I highly recommend Michael as an estate planning attorney.

Avvo Rating

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.
