I just wanted to voice my displeasure with James W. Hess. He was rude and inconsiderate. His tone was condescending and basically just a jerk. I don't know where my dad found this guy but I certainly wish he would've had someone more considerate and a willingness to answer simple, general, straightforward questions. Instead he couldn't have been a bigger jerk. All I wanted to know was when he thought a contract expired. Plain and simple. Very straightforward. He was willing to answer anything. He has made the Probate Process even more painful and time consuming. I would never recommend this office to anyone. Respectfully submitted, Mark Laurent

This reviewer was never our client, nor did he consult with our firm on his own matter. He was, instead, the son of an estate planning client. The son was very displeased with his father's choices for distribution of the father's estate. Out of respect for the extremely kind father, we took repeated calls from the son, and always treated him professionally. The son simply refused to accept his father's choices and became insulting. At that time, since we had already provided the answers to his questions, we stopped taking the calls. It is an unfortunate situation that we tried repeatedly to avoid.
