Estate Planning Attorney Reviews

My wife and I engaged the Hailey-Perry Law firm to create an estate trust and will for us. Wasn’t looking forward to it. I anticipated that it wasn’t going to be a pleasant experience “getting our affairs in order”. I was happily surprised. Pam is a delightful person and she guided us through the process with great skill and patience. It did turn out to be quite a pleasant experience after all and we felt that Pam asked all the right questions and provided expert guidance so that we ultimately arrived at the best estate plan for our needs. We highly recommend the Hailey-Petty Law Firm.

I was very impressed how during the Pandemic I never had to leave my house, and instead communicated by phone, email and text until the final signing which was done with all precautions in place. As a retired investor crafting a portfolio, having a daughter in Hawaii and son in San Antonio, I was unsure of what type of estate planning I needed, but with their advise and directions I came out very pleased with the final product they crafted.

Edward H.

Thank you all for your patience and attention to detail when creating a will for both my husband and myself. We had no idea what all went in to creating a sound and complete will for a blended family. You were very thorough and happy to answer all our questions!
