I scheduled a free 30 minute call with Suzanne Lieberman and she explained how the probate process would work & what to expect. I liked the flat rate fee for the process vs an hourly rate which is difficult to plan & budget for. The probate process is slow and it will continue for a while, but it has gone smoothly so far. I had no idea what to expect and the team have guided me through the process very efficiently. I highly recommend Suzanne and the entire team at CMS Law. I decided CMS would also handle my estate planning. Again, being able to schedule the 30 minute call with Will Robinson to discuss & the flat rate fee makes it all very streamlined. Will guided me through creating my Living Trust being both efficient & compassionate with the personal decisions that I was making. He answered all my questions and gave great suggestions as I revised and worked my way through the decisions for my estate. He was available to schedule calls & answered emails quickly. It was a pleasure working with him & I highly recommend Will Robinson and CMS Law.

I recommend you read it (available from Madeline) at the beginning of your estate planning process as the book explains many topics that are addressed in the will itself.

I originally called a different law firm, (because I googled bankruptcy and called the first one that popped up), and something did not feel right with them, it was like a sales call almost... I am so glad I trusted my gut and called Symmes Law Group after seeing their amazing reviews on google and yelp.

I believe this was one of the most difficult cases the industry has seen. Without Janet, we would not know where my brother is today.

My brother who saved a million dollars for his retirement is now reduced to go on State pay medical. Due to his wife gambling ALL the money away. It is important that you have the right representation for your case. Know the RCW Laws for the vulnerable adults and that spouses have a fiduciary duty to their spouse. We are grateful to Janet Smith. Without her help, we would be lost and sad and no know where our brother is. Thank you, Janet. You are our saving grace.

This review is based on my experience with Mr. Waltar who managed the probate of my husband's will…read more My recommendation is that if your estate is a modest amount, say under $300,000, your income is such that you pay no taxes, and there are no issues with your estate, then Mr. Walter is NOT the attorney for you. This was the situation when I went to Mr. Waltar two weeks after my husband died. The purpose of my visit was to have a new will made and to gain clear title to our condo. Believing that his fee of $5,000 for managing the probate and another $1,000 for my new will was a reasonable amount I went ahead and signed the agreement. However, I learned more information during the probate waiting period-- information relayed to me by friends who talked to their attorneys about their fees for probate, plus two attorneys I knew personally, plus an attorney at Legal Aid, as well as research online. They all agreed that $5,000 was too much for the service rendered. Yes, I received an "estate planning" notebook with the usual boilerplate forms, and the will appears to be in good order. Barb and Jean in the office are also very pleasant. For me, though, selecting Mr. Waltar turned out to be an expensive lesson that I hope others will consider when they choose a probate attorney.
