In 2020, my parents died within the span of months. Suddenly, I was the executor of two estates (one in-state and the other out) with no idea what to do. Paul Battan handled my dad's Washington state probate.
Having worked with two attorneys through essentially the same process, I can tell you Paul is the attorney you want to have.
I worked directly with Paul through the probate process rather than with a paralegal. As a result, my questions were answered quickly and I had confidence that he knew exactly what was happening with the case at all times.
When you reach out to Paul, he responds within a few hours. With the other attorney, I felt like I had to leave multiple, follow up messages before he got back to me often many days later.
Finally, Paul goes above and beyond. When I mentioned some problems we were having with the other attorney regarding the sale of estate property, Paul looked into that state's legal code and sent me a section to share with the other attorney that seemed to address the problem.
I have recommended Paul a number of times and will continue to do so. He's a caring person who made a difficult process easier and even made me laugh at a time when there wasn't much to laugh about. read more
