Selected law firm at random to handle brother's estate - which was a HUGE mistake. While we did…read moreinterview law firm associate, process was significantly more expensive than our "all inclusive" quote and experienced multiple clerical and filing issues with simple details like addresses and names (received emails addressed to our deceased brother!) among others. Initial cost was $5000 - which had to be paid out of pocket, up front, and probably was a red flag we ignored. Got hit with another $2000 court fee that I don't remember hearing about, for a total cost of $7000 to file the 6-8 documents that the court required. At nearly $1000 per page of information - which we had to already provide, seems a steep cost for their efforts. Not only was this was a lengthy (over 18 month) and expensive endeavor dealing with the additional legal issues was very draining.

I cannot recommend. My initial appointment for a will/AMD/POA was in May 2023. My recollection is…read morethe attorney said the documents would be ready in July. I contacted the attorney in late September about the status of the documents. Received an apology and a "I am conducting a final review of your draft documents and will have copies of the drafts for your review today." Wow, what a coincidence. I did get them shortly thereafter, along with the bill for the balance of the payment. They did not waste any time generating that! The thing is, the documents were obviously generated by a wills program and there should not have been such a long delay. Moreover, the documents were not complicated. If you are military/retired/entitled to JAG services, go to your JAG office, it will take less time, cost you nothing, and you get the same documents. Due to a recent sizable inheritance, I will need to do a special needs trust and other instruments in the near future but I will be finding a more responsive attorney/firm to handle them.

I have been trying to get rid of a timeshare that I have owned for almost 15 years. I have tried…read moreseveral times over the years by contacting the company directly and tried once with a realtor, but had no luck. I contacted Bill to try to help me understand the documents and to try to figure out some way to dispose of the timeshare. He was able to explain the documents to me and we contacted the company directly while in his office. Both of us spoke to the company rep and after about 20 minutes Bill was able to convince them that due to my age (81) that I was not using it anymore and wanted to be rid of it. They agreed to let me get out of the contract and said they would send me the documentation to complete the process. I could not believe how quickly and easily he was able to accomplish this. Approximately one month later I received documents in the mail from the company which allowed me to turn over the time share to them. I filled out the papers, had them notarized and mailed them back. I would definitely recommend Bill to anyone I know.

I was told by them that Bill Blackford, Esq. was handling the estate and that I should work through him. Over the course of getting the necessary repairs made and then showing and selling the house, Bill and I worked together closely to get the job done. At one point, I asked him to please get rid of the parked car in front of the house so it would show better (and allow someone a place to park.) Bill had it sold and moved in no time at all! He promptly paid all vendors for the repair work they did for us, was responsive to completing all required paperwork quickly, and kept everything else rolling promptly, right up to an on-time settlement. I give him a 5-star review!

He was so kind and friendly and treated grandmother tenderly. He is also very accommodating.

If you're in need of legal services, Jimeno is your guy!

When I spoke to the attorney she was very kind impatient while I explained my situation to her. She told me my options and was very honest with me. Based on our conversation, I made my decision and although I offered to pay her for a phone consultation, she was kind and said it was her pleasure. I don't know that very many attorneys would give so much advice over a phone call that they ultimately end up, not getting the client, but she put my needs above just making a dollar and I truly appreciated that. If you have any real estate related legal needs, I highly recommend you giving this law office a call. You will get exceptional service from a warm, knowledgeable, and very kind professional.
