We hired Kristin to help provide guidance in a situation where my Mom had passed away without…read moreleaving a Will and we had a difficult sibling to deal with. Kristin is very knowledgeable and was able to provide guidance upfront on how to deal with some of the anticipated issues we'd be experiencing. While legal help can be expensive, I can genuinely attest that the fees we were charged were reasonable for the service provided-the one time we had an issue with an item on the Bill, my wife spoke with Kristin's assistant Alana and straightened out the charge in a few minutes. We eventually got pulled into a Probate Case which was contested in another area of Michigan, so it wasn't convenient continuing to use Kristen's services. She provided good service to line us up with an attorney in the area of the Court who did a good job handling us and bringing the case to closure. Let's face it, dealing with Probate issues is usually about as much fun as having teeth pulled. You're often locked in contentious battle with siblings and other family and that can be pretty unpleasant-it sure was for us. Throw in that any engagement of legal services is expensive by the standards of most of us, that can make it very stressful. But I feel that Kristin gave us good information, supported us well and represented our interests well. When it became obvious we needed an attorney in the region where the Probate Case was filed, Kristin did a good job finding us an experienced attorney in that area. We were pleased with the support we received from Kristin.

After previously trying to handle the issue on our own without counsel, we were at an absolute stalemate/deadlock for the better part of nearly two years (!) before we hired Tavi Law, but within literally 30 days of hiring Matthew Tavi, the entire issue was resolved in our favor and we were made whole, which was very satisfying on both a personal and financial level! Throughout the entire matter, Matthew Tavi was extremely knowledgeable, confident and reassuring. The fact that Matthew is respected and recognized in his profession throughout Oakland County and Birmingham MI was also very beneficial to us and our particular matter and it directly translated to positive results.

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.
