We were extremely grateful for all the help we received. We worked with Travis Clark several times over a five year Period. He is kind, professional, and very good at his job. We also enjoyed the many conversations we had over the years. We always felt confident going into court, he clearly knows the law and he's a pretty good moral compass too. We will always appreciate his knowledge and hard work read more

I recently went to Surratt Law Practice for a consultation on estate planning and setting up a trust, and I am so happy that I did. Honestly, I had no idea where to start and was worried I might mess things up when filling out the intake form. Thankfully, Abigail was absolutely amazing! She walked us through the process, explained everything clearly, and made me feel completely comfortable. I left feeling 100% confident in the decisions we are making. At first, I wasn't even sure if this was something we should be doing my husband and I aren't millionaires, just normal people with kids, a home, and a few things we've worked hard for but after this experience I realize how important it is. You don't have to be wealthy to protect what you've earned for your family. I can't thank Abigail enough she truly made what felt overwhelming so easy to understand. looking forward to finalizing everything I Highly recommend! read more

They helped with our gestational carrier and ivf process and made it an easy seamless process.

I was looking to have my living trust restated from another state and had a consultation scheduled with attorney Travis Scott. I found Travis to be very professional, provided suggestions based on his personal and professional experience but best of all, he did not rush the consultation. He answered all of my questions and let me know that there would be other opportunities if I thought of anything else. I would highly recommend Travis if you need any estate planning. read more

Surratt Law Practice - Surrat office - Divorce & Family Law Near Me - Reno, Nevada

Bill and Diane, January 2025 My wife and I have a Revocable Trust originally created over 20 years ago in another state. Since then a number of life changing events occurred amongst ourselves and our children that prompted us to re-evaluate our Trust and we found it to have many outdated code references and that its intent no longer met our current needs. Through ARAG Legal Insurance Company we discovered Abigail Jaquette of Surratt Law firm and found her to have the depth of professional experience and competency we were looking for, and she had an office here in Reno where we live. Abigail was wonderful to work with. She recognized our concerns with the existing Trust language and proposed many sound updates to make it relevant. Abigail worked with us to develop a more realistic, comprehensive plan for the eventual distribution of our estate. She included special provisions for the needs of one of our children. She incorporated language in the Trust to allow our proposed Trustee to administer the estate in the least stressful manner. She worked with us to properly understand and best create the funding mechanism for the current estate. And she answered the many questions and concerns we had to protect our estate in these complex times including the simple task of Homesteading our new home, a process we never properly understood. During this process we were grateful to be able to contact her or her staff at any time to clarify issues that arose during this process. We updated our Wills, Power of Attorneys for both health and general, and the Revocable Trust. We highly would recommend Abigail and this law firm to anyone needing help with estate planning. read more

If you are looking for a divorce attorney who is going to fight for your rights, then DO NOT hire Abigail Jaquette. She interviewed strong and confident that I would get the settlement I needed. Unfortunately, in court she was niether. Her retainer fee was costly and my rate of return was subpar. You only get one chance in court to get it right and sadly she let me down. read more

Melissa Exline completed a trust for our family and she did an amazing job of covering all of the bases and going over all of the necessary details. There is a lot to think about when you try and think about tackling this project and a lot of people don't want to think about it but I feel so much better knowing that all of my things are in order if anything were to happen to me. Melissa was very nice to work with, she is down to earth, easy to talk to and explains all of the details in an easy-to-understand way. we had the whole process done in just two visits to the office. Highly recommend this company and Melissa. read more

I am so happy we found Melissa Exline at Surratt Law. We initially had our estate documents done a few years back somewhere else. - Trusts (document directing your trustees on what you want VS. your estate having to go through probate) - POA's (power of attorney = legal document directing an appointee of your choosing on how to act on your behalf should you not be able to) - Wills (to specify last wishes & asset disbursement) - Advanced directives (your wishes regarding various medical decisions) Ok, so that guy did a bad job but we didn't know any better at the time. Circumstances / assets change and a review / update is just intelligent adulting. I knew enough not to go to the last guy if for no other reason than there were typos and it appeared to have been quickly slapped together versus reviewed for legal accuracy. My business lawyer recommended Melissa. At first I could sense that she prefer we scrap it all & start anew. Our defenses likely reared up having already spent what we did so she offered to amend and repair (my word, not hers!) what we already had. She counseled us well and answered all of our concerns. It can be complex and she made it all very clear. She delivered when she said she would, had us watch a very informative video on it all and we left with a professional, organized package (binder) along with all of it on USB. Her price was very fair for what we received and we now have peace of mind that our kids, dogs and assets will be handled how we'd want not how other people, the courts or even well meaning loved ones *think* we'd want. Cannot recommend her enough for this service also not procrastinating this whole process. Of course it's not pleasant to think about but neither is leaving loved ones with a mess. read more

I had a great experience with Rayna at Surratt Law. She's very professional and was such a pleasure to work with. The level of representation was absolutely outstanding and the fees were reasonable without any unnecessary charges. Highly recommended! read more

My husband and I had an excellent experience with Kim at Surratt Law. We hired Kim for our surrogacy. I felt we were fairly represented. Although our whole surrogacy was a dream after we found the perfect surrogate. The turn around was good. I delayed a little on my end so that was nothing on Surratt Law. If you are considering surrogacy I highly recommend Surratt Law. read more

I had a fantastic experience with Melissa at Surratt Law. My ex husband filed a Motion to Modify Child Support without any communication with me to try to discuss, and Melissa took it on with relatively short notice and a crunched timeline. She was thorough and efficient, keeping me informed each step of the way. She and her team are simply amazing. If I ever need an attorney she'll be our first call. read more

My husband and I had the very devastating experience of working with Kim Surratt. Our attorney chose her to represent our surrogate. It was a total disaster. Fiasco! Prior to even going to the attorneys my husband and I discussed with our surrogate how much we would pay her, how we would pay for all of her Dr, hospital bills and any other expenses that she might incur. We put it in writing, sent it to our surrogate, and she readily agreed to the compensation we were offering. Actually, if she didn't, we would have chosen someone else, because we had several candidates who contacted us several times asking us to choose them. So we moved forward with the surrogate our Clinic selected as being the best candidate. We contacted Kim and she agreed to represent our surrogate. I told her office very specifically what the financial terms were of our agreement with the surrogate, and they said 'fine no problem', 'when can you send your check for payment to represent your surrogate?' So I got a cashiers check from my bank made out to Kim Surratt Lawyers. But to expedite the process, rather than mail it, I decided to drive to her office in Henderson so she could begin work right away, and I could get a receipt for the payment. That's when I got my first inkling that this was a big mistake: Kim's Las Vegas office was actually totally closed! I immediately called her telephone number and I was told that the Las Vegas office was permanently closed, and they asked me to mail my cashiers check to her Reno office. I should have stopped this right away, because obviously having on your letterhead an office in Las Vegas which is permanently vacant is not a good sign. But I instead foolishly sent the check to Kim's Reno office. Our attorney, who has done surrogacy agreements for years, drew up the surrogacy agreement exactly in line with what we had presented in writing to our surrogate, and our attorney sent it to Kim. Kim then made a series of appointments with our surrogate, only to repeatedly cancel them. Kim told our attorney that our surrogate was the one cancelling the appointments, but that was not true because our surrogate kept texting us and repeatedly asking us when we could begin. But of course we could do nothing without Kim. So we all waited. This was our second warning sign: Kim kept canceling appointments, delaying the entire process, even blaming our surrogate for the delays! Finally Kim had a telephone conversation with our surrogate. Our surrogate told us after the conference that Kim told her that the Agreement was poorly written, and full of loopholes. Can you imagine Kim criticizing our attorney who actually recommended that we choose Kim Surratt to represent our surrogate? Wow. Our surrogate also told us that Kim told her that because of the IVF procedure, she could lose the use of her reproductive organs permanently! Can you ever imagine telling a young woman that surrogacy would expose her to the real risk of losing her reproductive organs? That was shocking to say the least. Our surrogate was completely terrorized and in total shock hearing this. Finally Kim told our surrogate that the financial terms we offered were totally unacceptable, and that she would double the amount of compensation, because of the danger involved. Needless to say, the same day that our surrogate had her appointment with Kim and she told us what Kim told her, we fired Kim. Actually, I should have looked for another attorney as soon as I saw that her Las Vegas office was vacant, (big red flag!) and when she kept canceling appointments with our surrogate. But I gave her the benefit of the doubt. Big mistake. We have a feeling that we are not the only ones who have experienced this drama filled erratic behavior, because Kim's Las Vegas office is totally vacant. If an attorney wants to play hardball aggressive tactics, surrogacy law is clearly not the place, considering that one of the parties is just a woman like me who just wants to have a child because she can't have children herself. Any attorney who thinks that aggressive tactics are appropriate in this environment is truly heartless, calloused and pathetic. read more

I have had Melissa Exline as my attorney now for several years. I can't say enough about her character and being a really genuinely good person. She is honest and always leads with integrity. If you ever need a lawyer she's the one you want! read more

I worked with Travis and Melissa at Surratt Law. Both were very professional and caring. They listened to all of my issues and were sympathetic and understanding of my plight. They sat down with me and really listened which was a new experience for me. They did not rush me or make me feel less important than more wealthier "higher end" clients. I made it clear that I did not have a lot of money as my last attorney cost me pretty much everything I had (over $35k) I would highly recommend both of them for divorce, property or estate planning needs. read more

Working with Kim was a blessing! Our case could have gone a completely different way but because of Kim we received the outcome we prayed for! She is smart, knows the law and works with her clients taking their suggestions! She amazing! I highly recommend her and her practice! read more

My husband and I had an absolutely great experience with Rayna. We hired Rayna for a Step parent adoption. We were charged a flat fee which was reasonable. The entire process took about 3 months but most of that time was waiting for our day in court. Rayna and her staff were efficient and very pleasant to work with. We had previously started with another law office and after 10 months we were still getting no where. I would use Rayna again in a heart beat and highly recommended her. read more

I had a very negative experience with Surratt Law Practice. I hired them to help me with my divorce. When I started, I expected the divorce would be quick and amicable, however, my now ex-wife proceeded to hire a firm known to be very aggressive. I felt my lawyer at Surratt did not know how to deal with the other law firm, and she perpetually allowed them to slow down the timeline (thereby costing me a LOT of money and stress as I had to continue to support the ex) and she rarely challenged the aggressive firm on anything. Furthermore, I feel my Surratt lawyer did not have the requisite knowledge of pre nups or post nups which was paramount in my case. On top of everything, my Surratt lawyer was actually rude to me, very unprofessional and simply made my skin crawl when we talked due to her personal demeanor. Of course, she made sure to bill me for every second of her time even though, when I fired her about four months into the process, we were no closer to a divorce than the day I first entered her office. All told, I feel I was billed over $8,000 and received no value in return. When I hired a new lawyer, the entire matter was settled within about 2 months and things moved along quickly and smoothly. If you and your ex are ready to sit down and settle, then perhaps the Surratt Law Firm could be helpful, but if there's even a spec of disagreement, I'd keep looking around. read more

My partner and I used Surratt Law Practice twice in the last 4 years for surrogacy. In 2007 we paid the flat fee's which were very reasonable and had the contracts drafted. After a very long 3 year process and 12 attempts at conception, Ms. Surratt and her team redrafted our contract 3 times for no extra fee. Finally on our 13th attempt and our 4th surrogate we got pregnant! During the our surrogates pregnancy she and her staff checking in with us making sure everything was going smoothly with the surrogate process. They even drove to California for us to file for the birth certificates in the state where our son was going to be born. They made phone calls to the hospital making sure everything flowed seamlessly. When our son was born in 2011 Ms, Surratt's firm had EVERYTHING completed for us. Easy! When we decided to have another child we contacted Surratt Law. They gave a huge discount for being a return client. Amazing. This time, pregnant on the 1st try and everything was handled perfectly. Another drive to California and everything was ready to go when our daughter was born at the end of 2014. The firm treated us like family and we have since shared baby pictures. Her paralegal Dawn was so amazing and helpful through every detail. Highly recommend!!!! read more
