I scanned through Yelp and discovered Blacksburg Law and found the reviews very encouraging, and appreciated how robust and informative the firm's website was. I submitted an inquiry via Yelp and we were off to the races! The entire process was excellent and seamless, from first contact to final delivery of my estate plan. The team was incredible - professional, knowledgeable, efficient, and personable. I greatly appreciated the team's use of technology -- from the intake questionnaire, Zoom meetings, client workspace portal, and remote notary. These tools made the entire process frictionless and allowed me to complete my "homework" even while traveling. I highly recommend Blacksburg Law for either creating your first estate plan or updating one that is overdue for a revision. Thank you Michael and Team!
