Who are the Important People in your life? Beginning with yourself, they also likely include your loved ones: your spouse if you are married, children and grandchildren if you have any, perhaps your parents, siblings or other relatives. Beyond these, however, "Important People" also could include charities, special causes, colleges or universities, or churches to which you are committed.

Have no complaints about service or advice. He has been handling Trust work on my brothers estate for a year now and I have retained him to help me handle the Trust now that it is active and I'm trustee and executor. Don't trust this kind of work who doesn't specialize in estate and trust work and he is good.

Mike and his paralegal, Sandy, were so knowledgeable and helpful. Mike took the time to explain my options and help me determine what would be best for my situation. He and Sandy are friendly and approachable, and very professional. I have referred friends and family to Mike for their estate planning needs.

Reached out to McCafferty Law requesting a consultation regarding a probate matter. After no response via the website, I called directly and was asked many personal questions without any introduction or questions about the reason I was calling.
After recording all my personal information, I receive a nonchalant voicemail the next day advising "the firm was swamped" and I should "go call the Wichita Bar". Swamped?
Clearly my case did not fit the standards or profile for McCafferty Law. I now know a fancy website does not insinuate professional service.
