Think LONG and hard about the Attorney you want handling your last Will and Testament! This Company WILL nickel and dime you for every jot and tittle. Another minus is that you will wait at least 6 months before you see the bill. And now all I'm needing is a copy and they are telling me that I need permission from The Attorney before that can happen. Of course, the cost to get my copy or even my original must be a secret, as the secretary wouldn't give out that info.... is there a sliding scale for such things? Humm. Jk! Nevermind that we swear we said we wanted ours filed at the courthouse. Upon calling the courthouse we were informed that they are Not there. Is our circumstance unusual? Sure. But after spending 3 years of time, anguish and 2 trips to see the judge because an attorney tells you he keeps it in his safe and then years later, he says he's never had it, you begin to distrust most of them. Go ahead, ignore the point that 3 people were in the office when That Will was constructed. We're the liars, not the Lawyer. So while I'm getting in my form of therapy in venting, let me ask you, do you really want to take the chance for your loved ones to stand in line behind us, saying, " Dang, we wish " So and so" would have done this differently!"

My experience with Eastman and Smith has been sub par at best. Despite asking for guidance and assistance with settling my fathers estate, I have received canceled appointments, lack of response to inquiries and zero assistance when I've asked. If you want an attorney to help you navigate settling an estate, this is not the place for you. I will say that the paralegal who was assigned to helping me has been the only way I know what is happening but the process with my father's estate is not complete and I continue to have more questions than answers.
