At Akin Law P.A. in DeLand, Florida, we cannot emphasize the value of estate planning enough. When clients turn to our law office for help accomplishing their unique goals — whether those goals involve transferring assets, maximizing the value of the estate, protecting impaired beneficiaries or something as equally complex — we work with them in a respectful and supportive manner to devise plans that will grant them the peace of mind they seek.

Our law office understands that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to estate planning. We also believe that while there is no “best” type of estate planning tool; there is a tool or a combination of tools that are best for individual clients. We use each in-person and virtual appointment to explore options, including the more common wills, trusts and guardianships, with clients and to create a comprehensive plan that covers all their bases.

Our experience does not just stop at estate planning. Our lawyers and paralegals have extensive experience in a multitude of practice areas, including the following:

Elder law

I was desperate for a lawyer. I needed to find one that day. Sherrill took me on that same day and we started to fix everything a bad lawyer screwed up. Schedule straightened out a big mess and from that day on took really good care of me and my mother in a nursing home. Thank you.

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.
