Verified ClientConsulted Attorney 2026Feb4, 2026. My husband and I had consultation with Mr Wayne Coulter to discuss our estate. We found him to be very knowledgable He presented information to us in a concise manner that left no unanswered questions. He is suggestions were very helpful. His professionalism was interspersed with dignity and concern for us as clients. He suggested we consider a couple of his suggestions. Also to perhaps return in 5 years and evaluate our situation at that time for review. He shook our hands, thanked us and told us to go have a wonderful life. What a delightful man. A real gem in the legal profession
