We had a great experience estate planning with Cook Tillman. We were very unaware of the options we had in estate planning prior to meeting with them. We felt very unprepared and uninformed on how we should handle everything. Josh and his team helped teach us what our estate planning options were, in great and understandable detail, and assisted us in making informed choices that we are now thrilled with. The most important part of the process for us was understanding our options and having a plan completely tailored to our needs. Cook Tillman delivered that for us.

My parents and I were so relieved and impressed with our experience with Josh Tillman and associates. The firm made the process of updating an older will efficient and understandable. Mr. Tillman treated our family with genuine courtesy and respect. He patiently answered questions and never made us feel rushed or left things unresolved for the sake of time. He has the patience and manner of a teacher investing time in satisfying our concerns thoughtfully. This was especially so with some of the more complex aspects of writing verbiage to ensure my parents? intentions would be met. That said, the firm is at the same time very considerate of time. We all left feeling heard and reassured, but most importantly grateful.

We moved to Tennessee and needed to update our estate planning documents. We met with Russ Cook and he provided the options that were available to accomplish our plans. Russ answered all our questions and concerns. Russ made the process easy to understand and we were able to put into place our updated estate documents that address our current needs. We highly recommend Cook & Tillman for anyone looking to hire an estate planning firm.

Trustworthy - Integrity - Knowledgeable - Up-to-date on all tax laws - Estate Protection When my husband and I walked out of the office, we had a sense of relief and happiness. We had just updated our Wills, Financial POA, Healthcare POA, and Advance Directives and Russ had been patient as we added more and more to our Wills. He went over every part of it explaining what each paragraph meant and why it was written that way. He didn't hurry us a single time. He is up-to-date on all tax laws and we are confident he is protecting our Estate and will notify us if it needs to be updated before we do so on our own in 10 years. Russ holds an Accredited Estate Planner and Estate Planning Law Specialist designations with the National Association of Estate Planners and Councils. Though our estate is likely smaller than their normal client's, we received the utmost care. Would we recommend this law firm to friends and family? We already have!

My wife and I have worked with Russ for the past decade to team with our financial advisor to provide legal counsel and services to assure that our estate planning is documented in line with with our wishes and current federal and state laws. He is experienced, knowledgeable, detail-oriented and committed to work with his clients to document their estate plan. He is accessible, easy to work with and maintains a top notch staff to support his work. Not only would we recommend him and his firm to friends and family, we sent a personal email to 40 family, friends and work associates recommending that they engage Russ to help with their estate planning needs.

I had a very positive experience with Russ and staff setting up my Trust. Russ was very professional and took the time to answer all my questions at the meeting. He continued to answer my questions by e-mail. I am very pleased and have peace of mind that all will be taken care of according to my wishes. They were very expedient in getting all my documents completed. I am very grateful.

Russ cook and associates can be rated number one in the industry. By going through them to help my neighbor and not knowing what we were doing they made it very clear to us and how to proceed. They were very efficient and all that needed to be done. All went very smoothly. The associates are awesome an group, From the time I spoke with someone over the phone to the end you felt very confident about how they would proceed and they were very friendly

We had been trying to solve a complex estate planning item for almost a year. Russ Cook suggested an alternative approach to the way that we had been thinking about the issue which was simple, cost effective, and solved the problem. I would recommend them to any family looking forward help with their estate planning.

Josh Tillman came highly recommended by our CPA. He is knowledgeable, approachable, listens intently, and understands your needs. We appreciated his help to update our estate plans. He and his staff are excellent communicators and very efficient. We enjoyed working with Erin Stevenson during this process as well.

How do I choose a lawyer?

Consider the following:

Comfort Level
- Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?

Credentials
- How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?

Cost
- How are the lawyer's fees structured - hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?

City
- Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?

Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?

Here are a few to get you started:

  • How long have you been in practice?
  • How many cases like mine have you handled?
  • How often do you settle cases out of court?
  • What are your fees and costs?
  • What are the next steps?

Want to check lawyer discipline?

It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:

  • Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
  • Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
  • Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
