I have used Block Legal in the past and recently consulted them in creating a trust. I had a consultation with Will to help with this. He was very informative and explained what a trust would do for me and my family. He was very knowledgeable and honest in telling me I did not need a trust and that the will we created years ago would be good for my situation. I strongly recommend Block Legal. I appreciate Will’s honestly and not taking advantage of my naivety.

This is the text arI initially attempted to do my own revocable trust through an online program. When finished, I contacted Block Legal Services to review my documents and advise if any changes needed to be made. I am so glad I did because they found major holes and mistakes in my documents that would have left my estate in a mess. I ended up hiring Block to prepare my Revocable Trust, Will and all other necessary documents. They were very thorough, took care to explain the necessity and purpose of each document and give advice when I asked for it. The cost was very reasonable and I would definitely recommend Block Legal Services.ea for this paragraph. To change it, simply click and start typing.

Block Legal Services did a great job with my estate planning requests. They were very thorough in producing the documents I wanted to put in place and also included several documents I never thought of. Their full service approach included document prep, meeting time to explain everything in detail, and all state and local filings. The final product was even professionally bound and delivered in a nice format to keep in my records. They made a complicated process very easy.

Attorney Block is the utmost professional and I'm truly appreciative of working with him in a complicated family dilemma which lasted two and a half years. He was exceptionally prepared for any task regarding my issues which involved probate estate versus will & trust distributions. He always made me feel confident that we were making the right decisions moving forward because he was able to interpret and explain the legal jargon in layman's terms. In the end, our case was highly successful and I'm thankful I found this man to represent me! I can't thank you enough, Mr. Block!

My husband, Clarence P. Nicholas, and I procrastinated in consulting a legal entity to assist us in our estate planning. We thought it was going to be an extremely difficult and time consuming process. Block Legal Services, LLC made the process understandable and provided advice that will allow our heirs a road map to be able to know our wishes and navigate through the revocable trust/will with confidence and a clear understanding of how to move the process forward. We only needed to meet twice to complete the revocable trust/will. We recommend Block Legal Services, LLC for estate planning.
