Our initial introduction to the office was an estate planning workshop conducted by Brenton McWilliams held in Fairhope during late October. We were so impressed by the information shared that we booked our first appt for mid November.. I lost my father almost a year ago and he had a will, and therefore my family and I were working thru probate, getting accounts and real estate into my mothers name etc. I didn’t want to leave my children with the same burden. The grieving process is hard enough without probate on top of it! In November, We met with one of the law firms estate advisors, Jackie Bourgeix, who walked us thru the process, gathered all of our information,.and began the process of developing a much needed plan. She was awesome! Our next step was to discuss our wishes and estate plan with one of the attorneys, Brent Helms. Brent spent hours with us to ensure we understood every aspect of our situation, our desires and needs. Based on our experience, I’d recommend Brent to anyone seeking assistance with estate planning! In two months time,, we have now finalized our trust and pour over will! I can’t begin to state what comfort and peace this brings, knowing that we have clearly outlined our wishes and set our children up with an easy process once we are gone. We are fairly young and healthy…but this is important! Is it worth the money? Absolutely! Are we wealthy people? No, but we’ve saved over the years, have assets that need to be protected and needed honest guidance. Bottom line, we go to sleep tonite with peace of mind and highly recommend The Law Offices of Brenton C. McWilliams and especially, Brent Helms (our Estate Attorney)!

We had an awesome experience with this firm! It all started because of a costly experience we were dealing with through another attorney at another firm and probate because of a deceased family member. This same attorney recommended that we do a Will instead of a Trust and now I know why. Because of probate it took over 17 months and many unnecessary probate and attorney expenses. We attended a seminar sponsored by Brenton C McWilliams where Brenton explained the differences in how Trust vs Will works. We worked with Brent Helms at this firm and he was so knowledgeable and explained everything in terms we could understand and relate to and helped us to navigate this experience. Brooke and the others in the office were great to keep us informed. A very caring firm all around. We would definitely recommend this firm to our family and friends.

Attorney Rhenda Kouvarakis then explained documents in detail. Everyone we met was genuine, thorough and caring along every step. We highly recommend The Law Offices of Brenton C. McWilliams.
