I am very grateful to Attorney John Palley for guiding me through the probate process when my sister died unexpectedly in 2013.

We had a new family and new business. John provided our family with needed estate planning resulting in a trust, will and power of attorney to cover all the bases. John was thorough and made the process simple to understand. We would recommend John for your estate planning needs.

John is a good probate and estate planning attorney. I have known him for many years and have received good feedback from clients that have benefited from his services.
