Understanding Probate Avoidance: Will vs Trust Consultation

Testimonials
I immediately felt comfortable with Eddie and hired him to handle a family matter and also for my personal trust. Very personable and easy to deal with. It’s never fun dealing with legal issues and having an attorney you know can get the job done and done well is very reassuring. He also has a great sense of humor!
Upon losing my previous Attorney, I was very cautious on locating a new Attorney. Working with Ed turned into the most positive experience I have had. He was very professional, exceptionally clear on expectation and directions all in my best interest. I feel completely secure in his work and would highly recommend him to anyone. He is someone who will do the best job for anyone with their personal needs with such important legal documents.
