I definitely didn’t know enough about Wills and Trusts. Adam Hicks and his team of experts were so welcoming, friendly and knowledgeable. They made a very daunting and emotional process easy and even added some levity. I decided to go with a Trust and I feel very confident that we have been guided well in this process. Thanks Adam and team you did a great job helping Jose and I.

My husband and I had the privilege of working with Lanier Law for my estate planning needs, and I couldn't be happier with the service we received. Our situation was a bit complicated, however, this did not stop the amazing team at Lanier law from doing their best to help us. Christina and Parker were incredibly helpful and patient, guiding us through the entire process and making sure I understood every step.

Account Berry
Adam, Christina, and the entire team were amazing to work with on our personal estate plan, and then again to help my father-in-law with his plan. Personally, we had minor children, and real estate assets to consider, while my father-in-law owns his own business and has multiple real estate investments. Regardless of the crazy that we threw at them, they were quick to respond, providing experience and knowledge that helped us all feel at ease, and kept us moving forward.
