My husband and I were looking to get estate planning documents drafted after our first child and Makayla took great care of us! She kept us informed and responded to our emails quickly. We couldn’t be happier with her service. Thanks, Makayla!

I would highly recommend Jim Hyatt and his team. I feel fortunate to have had them oversee my estate planning throughout the past 20+ years. Jim routinely reviews my documents to see if any changes may be advantageous due to new tax laws or changes in my life. I have found these reviews invaluable. Jim’s knowledge, professionalism and patience are allowing me to relax in my retirement years. I thank you, and my children thank you, for all of your help over the years.

Mr. Hyatt and his staff were consummate professionals throughout this often complex process. His legal assistant, Ms. Toole, reached out to us immediately upon receiving our request for a complimentary consultation, and she was extremely responsive in scheduling appointments and responding to our emails. After our initial meeting with Mr. Hyatt and Ms. Hanington, we left fully prepared to have meaningful conversations that would lead to the best estate plan for our family. Establishing a will and trust is one of the most important things we have ever done for our family, so we were intentional about investing the time required to evaluate the myriad of decision before us. We are grateful that Mr. Hyatt and his team gave us the space we needed to proceed at a pace comfortable for us and for his constant patience over the weeks leading up to the review of our documents. Our experience could not have been any better. I highly recommend The Law Office of James A. for all of your estate planning needs. He truly cares.

Jim Hyatt has provided us with excellent service for our estate planning. Jim is very professional and knowledgeable of all aspects of estate planning, living wills and power of attorney documents. It has been a pleasure working with Jim and his assistant Amy.

James Hyatt explained thoroughly how to set up a trust. He was extremely patient in answering all our questions (and we had a lot of questions!!). Also the fixed fee for setting up our trust was reasonable. He and his assistant Ms. Toole were very thorough in all the paperwork and communications so we were not left wondering how proceed. We will be happy to continue to work with him in the future.

I needed help in administering an estate under very difficult circumstances. James A. Hyatt and his associates provided the very best advice and service in a way that was sensitive and professional. They are easy to communicate with and are prompt and thorough. I am very glad that I was referred to them by my accountant and I recommend them to anyone who needs help with estates or estate planning.

Jim has worked with our family for close to ten years now with estate planning and setting up both living trusts and irrevocable trusts. He and his assistant are the ultimate professionals: knowledgeable, trustworthy, and able to explain options and procedures and answer any questions along the way. One word to sum them up? Integrity.

Jim Hyatt has handled a variety of estate planning issues for my wife and I, my mom, and my aunt. His work has been consistently timely, competent, and cost efficient — he quoted me reasonable prices and stood by those prices; there was no price “creep” with minor issue clarifications and refinements. Most particularly, I have always appreciated his patient way of explaining legal matters not readily clear to me. I recommend him without qualification.

I highly recommend Mr. Hyatt. He is professional, and thorough. He explained our options and the benefits of each when we set up our estate. He was very helpful when we settled my father’s estate.

Our experience with James Hyatt was extremely positive. My husband and I needed an attorney to update our estate plan and Jim was very professional and efficient. We were impressed from the start when his assistant Amy asked for a copy of our current estate plan (a thick binder) for Jim to review prior to our first “no charge” consultation meeting. After reviewing our plan, he clearly outlined the “issues” with our current plan and revised it in several areas to make it more streamlined and appropriate for our goals. He was patient and receptive to our questions, and always responded quickly. Jim definitely knows his “business” and exudes a trustworthy demeanor. We wished we had found him earlier and saved ourselves from the more costly experience with our first estate attorney. We would certainly return to James Hyatt for future estate plan needs.

He walks you through all the options and guides you to make the best choices for your family and estate. We worked with him in 2005 then revised our plan that focused on our special needs son. Jim is knowledgeable and completely trustworthy.
