My wife and I are in our mid '60's and decided it was high time for us to update our wills and make…read morepreparations for our grown children and their families for the inevitable and get the living trust paperwork done. Steven Bliss was named as one of the top attorneys for this service in his field and our initial contact was professional and positive. The woman who answered the phone was very friendly and clearly explained the fee structure and how the process works. Three meetings, first two on the phone, third in person to sign the docs. First consult is free, half the fee expected at the second consultation and final payment at the third and final meeting/signing. We set the date for our first consultation and we were instructed to watch a video that answered a lot of our questions before that first meeting. It was Steven giving a seminar, explaining the nuts and bolts of what it is, what is needed, why it's needed, etc. Long, but fast paced and very informative. Mr. Bliss is very perfunctory and doesn't waste time. He's a no-nonsense professional, who explains the process well and helped guide us in the decisions we needed to make in order to make the process of distributing our assets to our heirs as easily and pain free as possible, structured in such a way that even if we add property in the future, it will be covered by our revocable living trust and won't require further legal expenses. We also appreciated that we are invited to call his office at any time with questions should we have any in the future, without worrying about being billed for it. Our service included: Home title changes, revocable living trust, powers of attorney, medical final directives, and last will and testaments for both of us. While the pricing for Steven F. Bliss was not the least expensive we found, the thorough service he provided was well worth the cost, which we still found a very reasonable value for the services provided. There were no surprises, no hidden costs, just professional, thorough, friendly service. I hasten to add that we did in fact, consult with another attorney early in the processes, who is also highly rated and cost less, but for reasons I decline to elaborate on, my wife and I received major red flags resulting from our discussions with the other attorney which cemented our decision of having Steven F. Bliss handle this important paperwork for us. Sometimes, you really DO get what you pay for. After our final consultation yesterday, Steven e-mailed us further instructions today, explaining what additional steps we need to take in order to maximize the protections of our trust. We are very satisfied and highly recommend Steven F. Bliss and his friendly, highly competent office staff.

From start to finish, the entire process was professional, educational, and incredibly streamlined. Greg took the time during our video conference to thoroughly explain everything and answer all of our questions in a way that was easy to understand. We never felt rushed, and we really appreciated the amount of education and guidance he provided throughout the process. When it came time to finalize everything, we met in person at the office where all of the signing and notarizing was handled efficiently and conveniently in one place. His team was organized, responsive, and made what could have been an overwhelming process feel simple and stress-free. If you are looking for an estate planning attorney who provides great value, clear communication, and a smooth overall experience, I highly recommend Gregory Ashcraft and his team.

I went back and forth ( or tried) several times because I could only get answers briefed, by text or not answered at all. Right away the woman said everything had to move quickly and a deposit would be needed if I decided to move forth because they take a long holiday break . I said ok. Part 2- Owner then sent an email w/an attachment explaining difference between revocable and non-revocable trusts. Then the woman said they couldn't take anyone till after the holidays. They gave me such a small amount of time (one to two days to retrieve message and reply) . Part 3: They then reached out and said they had a cancellation and they could take another client so I called them right away. They then said the attorney owner would call me the next day . Somewhere in the midst of all of this, I let them know that this would be simple, as I did not own any real property but I had tangible property that had substantial value. I was ready! I never got a call back from the attorney. It was kind of strange- the customer service part. I saw the reviews were stellar which is why I wanted to go with this business but I found it was not a great impression for me.

I have read and researched estate plans and even talked to a few other places, and I have done one myself previously, but with my busy schedule, I want to make sure it is done correctly and recorded accurately. Atty Paul Hanks diligently worked on my estate plan in such a short time, but he was very detailed, knowledgeable, and reliable. I have nothing to say but good words about the service he provides. I like that you communicate with him directly, with no middle person. He is straightforward and genuine and answers my emails or texts promptly. FIVE STAR SERVICE all across.
