- ★★★★★Outstanding lawyer
Andrea · family law ·
Mr. Booker did a wonderful job on my family law case. He worked very hard for me. I would advise anyone who is looking for an attorney to hire him. He is concerned about the needs of his clients and will always pick up his phone to address any questions.

- ★★★★★Not for Anything Important
San · family law ·
My lawyer succeeded in taking money. He failed at everything else. He’s breathtakingly incompetent in all things family law. He never actually tried, no showed when I drove to Houston to give him evidence for a case, no showed the day before trial to prep for trial, then he got notice of the other si de pulling unscrupulous moves to take my child and he withdrew without a peep. I didn’t find out he quit until the restraining order (THAT HE COULD’VE VETOED) was pushed through. It wasn’t even under the radar. He got the notice of what they were doing Feb. 26 and he withdrew Feb. 28 without so much as the decency of informing me by phone that he withdrew. His hands were shaking during trial. The cowardice/unpreparedness exhibited in the court room is more than enough to take pause and consider other options. My hands were shaking and sweating and I look over, his hands were shaking and sweating as badly as mine. My lawyer was visibly shaking with hands sweating. He told me that I wouldn’t get a fair trial in this court in this city and he wasn’t going back to court. Then, he didn’t lift a single finger when the time came for him to truly represent my children and I.

Lindsay · estate planning ·
Mr. Wright has been consistently respectful, efficient, reliable and timely. He has been irreplaceable in the closure of my father's estate, which has been done primarily from out of state. He has continued to be an asset regarding ancillary matters. He is objective, knowledgeable, and I can confiden tly recommend his services.
- ★★★★★Drafting a will
christine · estate planning ·
Mr. Jewett is extremely knowledgeable in probate law. He guided us thru the will procedure before putting pen to paper, explaining every part thoroughly making certain we understood the concept. When completed it was exactly what our will was had envisioned. I would highly recommend Mr. Jewett when you need an attorney.
- ★★★★★The Best Probate Attorney Ever
Christopher · estate planning ·
Robert Jewett is a FANTASTIC estate and probate attorney. I first met him in 2016 when there was an issue with a will being probated within my family. He drove to our home, sat there and spoke with my family in regards to the issue and gave us the advice free of charge. One of the biggest mistake s we made was not to go with him at that time. Cut to May 2019 and I contacted him asking about a will being written. Not only did he have it completely done within the day, but he was also ready to file it then and there. Unfortunately, the person passed before it could be signed, but, again, I contacted him to probate this persons' existing will. From start to finish he completely probated it in less than 3 months all for a single flat fee. I was amazed especially seeing several peoples I know to take anywhere from 6 months to a year and a half. Robert is the man to see if you need anything done!

- ★★★★★Simplified the difficult task of Estate Planning
Glenn · estate planning ·
My wife and I hired Amy to update our will, and create a small trust for our children. She was very thorough in her questioning during the process, and helped us identify some concerns that we need to address through the will. She was very helpful, and willing to work with us to develop the docum ents including the will and trust, and we were able to complete all of the work on budget. I also asked Amy to review an overly complex employee stock ownership agreement from my employer. She was extremely thorough, and in fact identified a key factor in this agreement that impacted my will. I could tell she worked very hard on this, and was very complete in her summary report.
- ★★★★★Tom McCulloch Takes the Stress Out of Estate Planning
Debra · estate planning ·
Mr. McCulloch assisted us in the preparation of our wills and estate planning, helping us through this very complicated process. He and his staff are very professional and compassionate, and made us feel comfortable with the choices we needed to make for the documents. We had many questions about t he process, and Mr. McCulloch was very patient and thorough in the way he handled our will. He also prepared our parents' wills, so we are second-generation clients. I would recommend Tom McCulloch to anyone who needs a will, trust, or help with aging parents.
- ★★★★★Common Law Marriage
anonymous · estate planning ·
Ms. D'Olive provided legal advice and support to our family after the passing of my mother's common law husband. Since he did not have a will, Ms. D'Olive walked us through the process of probating his estate and advised us of my mother's rights as his common law wife. We were happy to have Ms. D'Oli ve along the way to help us get through such a difficult time. We will be using her legal services again to help us with our estate planning.
- ★★★★★Responsive and helpful
anonymous · estate planning ·
After my father passed away, I called several law offices about probating the will. Ms. D'Olive handled my case in a very professional manner, and charged much less than what other big firms had quoted. As a good lawyer should, she made a very difficult time much easier to bear. I would highly reco mmend Ms. D'Olive to anyone searching for representation on a will, trust or estate planning matter.
- ★★★★★Probate process handled smoothly
Michael · estate planning ·
Kami and Paul helped me through my probate process. Kami was communicative, and set clear expectations for the next time I would hear from her throughout the process, which helps reduce uncertainty.

Judith · estate planning ·
I hired Rick after the loss of both of my parents close together. We were not supposed to have to do probate but surprise we did! I was so overwhelmed and grieving. A friend recommended Rick and to say he made it so easy is an understatement! He was wonderful during a very difficult time in my life! I would highly recommend!
