Why all the secrets? Planning your estate shouldn't be some stealth operation you don't tell anyone about - especially your family.

Y. Atkinson was a blessing in disguise! She was not only professional but compassionate. I will recommend her to ANYONE in need. I really appreciate everything! She allowed me to bring my toddler when I couldn't find daycare. Thanks so much!

I was so Lucky to have found Atkinson Law. Helped me in more ways than one. I called a day before an impt divorce hearing deadline and he actually saw me on his lunch break. That blew me away. The advice I was given has been instrumental in getting through this ordeal with most of my sanity. I cannot say enough about this practice. His knowledge can’t be topped. True pit bull ! This May sound lame, but he has restored my faith in people, not as just a great lawyer but as a human being. Thank you again Atkinson Law 💯

I was referred to Les to assist in several family court matters and I was blessed and fortunate to have had him represent me. Les showed the highest level of professionalism, situational context, and legal expertise to help me successfully overcome serious legal challenges. Great Lawyer and support team. I highly recommend Atkinson Law for your representation.

I was referred to Les by a friend when I was going through a very stressful legal situation involving family court. He was extremely professional, listened and gave creative and positive advice that allowed me to make informed decisions that led to a positive resolution of the situation that kept both parties out of court. I could not be more grateful. Atkinson Law is affordable yet high quality legal representation, I will continue to use Les's services for any and all future legal needs. I would highly recommend this law firm, it was money well spent. The best investment in legal representation
