Manning & Murray listen to you and guide you through the process. It is easy to reach them through the phone or email. They usually responded within an hour, and never did a question go unanswered for longer than one business day. When the worst happens, and you have to use the estate documents that you have so carefully drawn up, you'll want to be able to reach out to a professional, proficient estate law law with excellent customer service - where someone is readily available to help you. Manning and Murray was first recommended to me by an attorney working for a Maryland estate law firm that regularly provides estate planning basics to retiring government workers. Then a friend also mentioned that they had used them - and encouraged me to use them too. Finally, someone employed in the trust department of a bank stated that Manning & Murray had done all of the estate planning for their family. Another friend recommended using an online estate law software package, but the estate had complex needs, and we decided that approach wasn't a good fit. I'm looking forward to sleeping better at night, knowing that the important estate matters are settled. I recommend Manning & Murray wholeheartedly for all who need estate planning work done.

They did an excellent job communicating the value in their recommendations and what choices we were required to make. They also did a great job of making themselves available and answering all of our questions about the paperwork. They made the process as painless as I could have imagined, and I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for legal assistance that might be helpful when planning your future.

Unfortunately, we have had no follow up from this attorney, despite repeated attempts to contact his office (both phone call and email). We feel that three years is long enough to settle an estate, despite how complicated it may be. This lawyer is an embarrassment to my family and especially to our deceased aunt. I am not sure why anyone would enlist his services. We do NOT need any money from this estate. This is all about principle and fighting for what is right. And it's about letting others know about the poor service we have received from Gene Robinson.

That was the purpose of the trust. Now that the owner has died they (the trust written by the Collin's firm) are selling the house forcing the autistic son out. your response was that the Collin's firm does not manage the trust and my accusations are misplaced. A trust can only be managed as written. The Collin's firm wrote the trust. You are responsible For kicking an autistic child out of his home.

Great job by Appraisals Guaranteed! Rick Phillips of Appraisals Guaranteed is excellent. He…read moreresponded promptly to my inquiry and delivered his report on time and at a fair price. The quality of his research and analysis was definitely a cut above what I have seen before and I recommend him highly.

I was in the process of purchasing my parents' home from my family's estate. I felt the appraisal I…read morehad received was too high compared to online market values, so I reached out to Rick Phillips with Appraisals Guaranteed for a second opinion. I explained that I simply wanted an honest, factual, and professional evaluation of the home's worth. From the very beginning, I was amazed by how professional, meticulous, and thorough Rick was throughout the appraisal process. When he noticed a discrepancy between the home's square footage listed by the city and his own measurements, he didn't just accept it--he sent his team back out to remeasure, then personally followed up with the city. When he couldn't get answers over the phone, he even went down to the city office in person to clarify the details. His dedication to accuracy and integrity was truly unparalleled. Once the appraisal was complete, Rick took the time to walk me through every part of the report. He explained how he chose comparable properties and how those influenced his valuation. He made sure I fully understood the findings and felt confident explaining them to my family. Rick's professionalism, honesty, and commitment to excellence gave me complete peace of mind. His passion for his work, dedication to accuracy, and unwavering integrity ensured that I could trust the results without question. Thank you, Rick Phillips and Appraisals Guaranteed, for going above and beyond. I would highly recommend Rick to anyone looking for an appraiser who truly embodies honesty, professionalism, and care for his clients.

This firm is the best! As a loan officer assistant, I can tell you I've worked with a lot of title…read morecompanies. I get mad at my loan officer when he gives deals to anyone else. Dave and Antonia answer my emails quickly, I don't have to remind them to get stuff on our closing calendar, they're so nice and easy to work with, and my loan officer is always requesting a ton from them...like "can you do a Saturday morning settlement at their home in Frederick?" Dave, who lives in NoVA, NEVER bats an eye to do it. They'll match fees to help you get the deal. They figure out tough title situations. Even as a loan officer assistant, I've had three of my own deals, one was my father in NC (so Dave could not do), my friend purchase, and now my friend's brother-in-law is refinancing with me. I sent them both to Dave. Dave is settling the brother-in-law this Friday evening at his home (because they're teachers and that was when they could meet). I felt bad and told Dave if there was another time that worked for him to just let me know, but he just responded "works great, I'll see you then." I seriously can't say enough nice things about them! Whenever something needs to be figured out, if it's with another title company, I worry...if it's with Dave, it's going to be fine. They'll handle everything. If a lock is expiring, they'll figure it out. They'll return the docs in no time. Give DB Title a try...you will not regret it! AMAZING JOB!

I connected with this attorney through LegalEase for an initial consultation. Our early email…read moreexchanges were responsive, which was encouraging. However, after I sent availability for an appointment, I didn't receive any response for multiple days despite two follow-up emails. When I sent a third email explaining I'd need to request a different attorney through the service if I didn't hear back by a certain date, he responded with an available time but also stated I had "threatened" him and that he didn't appreciate it. I clarified that setting a timeline for when I'd need to move forward with another attorney wasn't a threat, it was a business boundary. Given his reaction to straightforward communication about responsiveness, I decided not to move forward. For someone seeking legal representation, clear and consistent communication is essential. Unfortunately, that wasn't my experience here, and the dynamic became uncomfortable quickly over what should have been a simple scheduling matter. I can't speak to his legal skills or courtroom experience, but the initial communication process didn't work for me.
