If you need a trust started or a will written out do not use this law firm. They are both incompetent and clueless when it comes to these types of documents.

I took my closing to Estes and Kennedy Law offices, y’all...let me just tell you...Estes and Kennedy Law Offices staff were SUPER friendly, extremely competent, and really prompt. They made sure to notify me with any and all obstacles that appeared in this process, and were genuinely concerned with making sure all was straightened out. They’ve taken full responsibility IF a mistake had occurred through the office, and even took time out of their schedule to explain when a mistake happened outside of the office’s control but still managed to apologize profusely. I HIGHLY recommend this office
