Most information I received was not accurate. After my case was resolved my retainer was not returned. What could have been an easy filling of paperwork turned into a nightmare of frustration and error. My case was completed 3 months ago and they still haven't sent me my money and won't return any communication. When I tried to write a review on Google or read other reviews it sent me to a page NULL with a description of the word. Basically skip them entirely. If only I knew better I regret hiring them.

My wife and I recently worked with David Wakefield and his law office for our estate planning, and…read morewe couldn't be happier with the experience. From the moment we met David, he made us feel completely comfortable and at ease with a process that can otherwise feel overwhelming. He took the time to get to know us, understand our needs, and explain every detail in a way that was clear and easy to understand. What really stood out was how personable and genuine David is -- it truly felt like he cared about helping us make the best decisions for our family. We spoke with a few other attorneys before finding David, and honestly, none came close to his level of professionalism, patience, and warmth. If you're looking for someone who combines expertise with a personal touch, we can't recommend David Wakefield and his team highly enough. He made what could have been a stressful process feel simple, smooth, and even enjoyable.

Horrible experience. They worked for my deceased mother's estate for 2 years, then quit. For the…read morefinal 1 year, we had no updates, nor any progress. Nicole Laruwe was contacted by me during the final year, on 5/25/23, 1/25/23, and 2/7/23, asking for simple updates. Each time, she'd responded via email saying she would get back to me. Never did. Then she quit a few weeks later, and billed the PR tens of thousands of dollars. When I asked for a copy of total bill on 6/15/24, she refused and stated she already gave it to another sibling. I then wrote to Julie Paquette, who also refused and suggested I contact another lawyer to obtain the details of their undisclosed bill. Never met these humans in person, but clearly a law firm whose professionalism and kindness needs some work. Hopefull they can grow to realize that deceased famiiy estates are very sensitive issues, and empathy and mutual respect from day 1 is important, which was never noted by the majority of our family.
