They treated me with respect, helped me with my very ill father. After providing assistance to my father I went back a few months later and they took care of me. His assistant was awesome. She listen to me and took time with me. I can't say enough about her except God must have sent me there at that moment.
Review
We recently remarried with blended families and our estate planning required careful consideration. Patrick answered a million questions and sometimes twice with patience. Sharon (his assistant) were always helpful and responded with quickness. Patrick and Sharon made this stressful experience effortless for our family. We highly recommend Patrick McKee for estate planning.
Review
I had an awesome experience working with Mr. Patrick and Mrs. Sharon. They worked from the beginning to the end. I'm greatful for all the energy and time they put into helping my family and I. I would definitely use their services again and will highly recommend anyone who is in need of an estate attorney to please give the Law Office of Patrick McKee a call. GOD'S blessing!!!

It seems like I did most of the work. It was extremely difficult to do in my time of grief over losing my son. Once they got their payment, there was no more communication. I never went through this before so I don't know exactly who was supposed to do what. I did everything they told me to do and then some. Sorry, but I felt very disappointed. What exactly does an Estate Attorney do? Maybe they did what they were supposed to do, if so, a little more communication could have been better. I was left with more questions than answers.
Review
If I could pick out one word that describes Mr. McKee, it would be "INTEGRITY". He has represented me with the greatest ethics and utmost professionalism. His expertise is of the greatest caliber. He does not flounder in his handling of my case, and works on it as diligently as he would want a member of his own family represented. From the very beginning of my association with Mr. McKee, I have never felt merely as another case number, but have been given personal attention to resolve the issues that have been presented. I cannot praise him and his secretary, Sharon, enough for their excellent work in settling my situation.

Impressive staff,helpful,on every way??!!Very mannerable,and professional??!!
Review
When my dad passed away, I needed a lot of guidance, and a lot of in-the-trenches help. Bob provided me with both -- expert legal direction and a significant amount of legwork. His warm availability and knowledge of the probate court made decision-making easy, and he always made sure I understood what was going on so I could make the most informed decisions. I can't imagine weathering the storm without him, and would highly recommend him to anyone facing the probate process. He's a consummate pro.

Mr. Ruppenthal was patient and explained everything.

My husband and I needed to draft a will since we were going on a trip and leaving our son behind. (Just in case!) We had been meaning to do it for years but never got around to it. Kristen at Bequest came highly recommended by our financial advisor and we are so glad we made the call! She was very personable, helpful, and understanding and we had our Will drafted and completed in a week and a half. I am so glad we worked with her and am going to recommend her to everyone I know. Our Will was fairly straightforward but I guarantee she has the expertise to work on highly complex estate plans. Her and her entire team were great from start to finish. Very affordable too!
Review
It was a pleasant experience working with Kristen on completing our estate planning documents. Kristen was extremely helpful, knowledgeable and well organized. When changes were needed to the documents, she listened to our concerns and did an excellent explaining our options. I am relieved to have this important task completed! Kristen, Thank you so much for everything. I highly recommend you and your team to anyone that needs help with their estate planning!
Review
Kristen helped my husband and me achieve our goal of creating an ideal estate plan and did so in a matter of weeks, instead of months. This is an important process that too many put off completing and Kristen makes this important task easy and seamless. Kristen listened to what we wanted to accomplished and created a customized plan based on our needs and goals, rather than a cookie-cutter estate plan. Call Kristen today in order to protect your family and ensure your legacy.
Review
With Kristen’s guidance my wife and I just completed our will, trust and advanced directive for health care. From our first meeting we were impressed with Kristen’s knowledge, expert advice, attention to detail and outstanding communications skills. She broke down the steps of each phase of the process in simple to understand terms and took the time to answer all our questions. Each phase of the process was followed up with documented drafts for our review and discussion. Meeting arrangements for the final signing was well organized and in keeping with the Covid19 social distancing guidelines and protocols. We would highly recommend Kristen and her team to anyone in need of this service.

The Pyke Law Firm has been a life saver for our entire family. We have such peace of mind now that our plans are in place and in order. They are very professional but maintain a “family atmosphere” in their approach. From the minute you enter the building you have a feeling of confidence that these folks know what they are doing. Thank you Pyke Law Firm!

I have been a client of Pyke & Associates for 20 years, and have been pleased with their estate planning services. They are always on top of changes to Georgia laws, and proactively hold seminars to share information. Their AMP (Annual Maintenance Plan) is well worth it, if you want or need to make adjustments to your various documents (i.e. trust, will, health directive, financial directive, etc.).

Through the years we were treated like family. When my husband passed away in 2015, they were right by my side to help me. I know I will have help when I need it. Thank you.

I hired this attorney after 3 of my family members passed away within a month of each other. Before hiring him and giving him my money. He was always available very responsive and this was just before Christmas. After I paid his retainer that he was supposed to put into a trust and notify me of all work being performed as we agreed to on the phone. I never heard back from him for 3 weeks. He promised to get the contract to me and I never received it. He said he uploaded it to the client portal but I was unable to print it or download it. I told him that and he said he would fix it. Stephen later deleted my access to the client portal. I had to call and text excessively 50 times before he got me in touch with his partner. Then His partner quit because he said Stephen lies to much and made promises to him. I got my turn next Stephen started lying to me said he filed all my petitions and it was the court who was slow or there were 15 attorneys reviewing my case,. Stephen will lie just to lie. Make him give you a contract before doing any work. Please look back at his old google reviews he does this all the time Report him to the State Bar. I am in the process. He did not complete the work stole the money and it was never in a trust. He even lied to the court clerk when we were trying to verify he paid the court fees which was included with his cost and so called military discount. He told me not to include the court on our conversation because it broke attorney client privilege and it does not. Do not believe his coming response which is to deny the truth or say he was sorry. He is sorry and not to be trusted. Do not hire this guy he does not care you are very vulnerable because of your loss he takes advantage of this situation.

I can't say enough good things about Scriber Law Group. Attorney Scriber and associates made me feel confident that I had chosen the right law firm to complete my estate planning. The process was smoothly executed in a timely manner. I am confident that if I need to make any changes going forward, I will receive the same professional service. I have recommended the Scriber Law Group to others in my community. I just hope they follow through. Thank you again Attorney Scriber. Best wishes to you and your associates.
Review
Stephen and his staff were excellent. We wanted to revise, update and make sure everything was in order before traveling and he immediately grasped our needs/wants and didn’t waste time in discussing, draft preparation to final was all super efficient and correct the first time. Absolutely would recommend him and his practice to anyone needing prompt, professional legal services.
Review
Please find another attorney....The ball has been dropped on a case that Stephen was hired and I have never seen an attorney that drops a probate case in the middle of court proceedings. The higher power has the last say...Find you an attorney that is for you not the opposite side. I have hired plenty of attorneys in my lifetime. And I must honestly say I have never been treated unfairly until I made a big mistake and came across Scriber Law firm. Then he doesn't see anything wrong in his profession to his clients and has selective memory when the truth is being told Find you a professional attorney that cares for their clients and cases. Stephen pay for what ? A couple of pieces of paper filed as well as you agreed to receive your retainer fee once the probate case settled. It is what it is! But since you sent me a withdrawal letter from the case can you also send one to the probate court they have not received anything. Also there's no need to call you -you will not return calls as usual
Review
I hate to be the barrier of bad news but if you are in need of legal counsel seek others. I signed an electronic copy of a contract last year March 2020 to help settle my deceased dads estate. It is almost a year and The little progress that we have is because of me. The only thing Stephen did was write a letter to the loan office. For the first couple of months he blamed everything on COVID and the courts being closed. Which was understandable until I realized that he was lying about sending certain documents. He doesn’t respond to emails, phone calls, or messages sent thru the client portal. I will be reporting him to the BAR and I will never recommend his services to anyone even if it was for free.

Amazing lawyer, patient, answered all of our questions and left us feeling well taken care of!
Review
The search for an estate attorney online is daunting, especially living out of state. So glad her firm returned in my search results. She's recorded short informational videos on various topics, and she offers 15m consults by Zoom, which meant that I could meet her...see her. So much better than the phone! The consultation quickly led to the documents I needed to wrap up the last details my grandmother's estate. Professional. Action Oriented. Responsive. All good. Thank. you.
Review
Sarah came recommended to me, and I'm glad that I got to work with her to sort out my estate planning. With the pandemic on hand, the process was as smooth as possible. She was always available to answer my questions & was quite helpful in explaining all aspects of the legal documents on hand. My hopes are that none of this will be needed for many years to come. However, if so, I can now rest easy!
Review
Sarah was recommended to me by another lawyer and according to the reviews has also been recommended numerous times. This was a good start. During my process, I also had considered a couple of other lawyers. They wanted thousands of dollars just to get started and promised a lot of results, but not without much proof of their ability that they could do so. I also had learned on the internet that some of these lawyers get paid thousands and then do not work hard on the case or even disappear! Now back to Sarah. She charged me only a nominal fee for one hour of great legal advice. Sarah is up front with the situation, and obviously wants to service her clients, instead of focusing on ample amounts of money for her. In the long run, she will be very busy as more and more clients will recommend her great professionalism and service.

Gary Klepak is a very caring and compassionate man and the BEST LAWYER IN COLUMBUS GA. He did our wills and gave me ideas to make it easier Nobody wants to think about a will. It is very morbid but he made us feel so special and praised us for doing it so my kids wouldn’t be burdened with anything. I have also sent at least 20 people for divorces. Nobody wants to meet with a lawyer but he is much more than that. He will become your friend and his wife Cindy is also very smart and helpful. We all have to do it so just put it on the hands of the Klepaks. You will be soooo pleased and he is not as expensive as the other lawyers. THANKYOU Carolyn

Loraine’s firm did both my estate plan and my Dad’s back in the day, and we were very satisfied with that work. But she really showed her skills and experience when my Dad passed away and she guided me through my responsibilities as executor. She spent a lot of time helping me understand what needed to be done overall. And then she was very patient in letting me do what I was capable of (guiding as needed), and stepping in herself when necessary. I know she and her firm could have handled everything, but she helped me save a lot of money for the beneficiaries, which I greatly appreciated. It was an outstanding experience during a stressful time, and I’m a huge fan.
Review
My wife and I engaged Loraine to assist us with our estate planning which was complex as it included wills, trusts, health care directives, etc.. Loraine and her team did a tremendous job. Loraine was able to take a very complex area and explain in a way we could understand. Loraine is extremely professional and responsive. In addition to providing many helpful suggestions and invaluable advice throughout the process, Loraine was able to thoroughly addressed all of our questions and concerns. It was a true pleasure working with Loraine. I strongly recommend Morgan and DiSalvo for all of your estate planning needs.
Review
We decided to update our will s and the process was explained in detail in terms that we understood and was professional. Allison prepared the documents with several alternative thoughts in mind that we never thought of doing. Thanks

My husband and I were very pleased and impressed with the way Richard Morgan handled our Estate Planning process. He and his office staff were very professional every step of the process. Richard carefully explained our documents which included wills, trusts and other necessary paperwork needed to insure that our estates were in the proper order. He listened intently to our questions and clearly explained his answers in a way that we could understand. At no time did we feel hurried or rushed. We highly recommend Richard as the attorney to handle your estate needs.

I don't generally write reviews but believe my mother was overcharged and underserved. Mr. Prior drew up my parents wills in 2007. Ten years later when my Dad died, he said the wills were useless and recommended she form a trust. I believed he should have advised her to get through probate and then make what are pretty complicated decisions later. My Dad had just died. It was a sad, confusing time with many decisions to be made. After taking my Mom's $5000 (a lot of money to fill out some forms), he was unavailable for assistance. There was a mistake in the Power of Attorney, but he would not offer help in any way unless she paid him more money. Notice that one of his three 5star ratings is done by him. I don't think it counts if you rate yourself. My husband and I just established a trust in another state and the time and attention we recieved (for less than half the price) made it very clear how little my Mom got for her money from Mr. Prior. Choose another firm.

I was referred to John Roberts by a top law firm in Orlando to handle a case for me in Atlanta. I could not have been happier with the outcome, service and attention that I received from John and Kristi. I found that John was always easy to get a hold of, responded quickly and offered very sound advice on how to approach the case. I read some of the other reviews and want to stress that any time that you engage a top attorney, it is going to cost you money and take time to get results. You get what you pay for. In this instance, I got a superior attorney that resolved my case in a highly satisfactory manner. If you are worried about a couple hundred dollars then I suggest you find an attorney within your budget. But, if you want excellent representation then I suggest you contact John Roberts.

1000 miles away we needed an expert pertaining to Equine Law. We retained The Roberts Law firm to represent us through an emotional and stressful equine law matter. Within hours investigation began and via phone or emails Mr. Roberts himself or Kristi (paralegal) kept us informed. We thank the firm for the professionalism, knowledge of Equine Law (state of Georgia), and compassion for our retired thoroughbred. Mr. Roberts went beyond our expectations. Highly recommend!!
Review
I worked mostly with Mr. Roberts and his paralegal, Kristi. Both were extremely helpful and patient with all of the questions I had regarding my custody case and took the time to explain everything in layman's terms. I live in FL and my case was started in GA so all of our communication was by phone or email. Whenever I called the office or sent an email, one of them responded quickly. I would highly recommend this firm or use them again in the future.
Review
The Roberts Law Firm is a great team. They were easy to work with and always kept us informed on what was taking place with our case. Communication was very professional whether is was via phone or email. Our case was somewhat complicated but Atty. Roberts took the case and worked it to a successful completion. I highly recommend the Roberts Law Firm.
Review
I am an attorney, and I needed a document drawn up, with an escrow, to hold funds in connection with a real estate transaction. Mr. Roberts could not have been more professional in his execution of the agreement and, eventually, the prompt disbursal of the funds at the close of the escrow--literally years later. His staff were also wonderful to deal with. Can't recommend him enough.
