"I came to ContractsCounsel needing a Florida probate attorney to review court filings I had drafted for two related estates in Sumter County. Both of my parents passed away within four weeks of each other, and what started as a straightforward summary administration became significantly more complicated when an $80,000 life insurance policy was discovered after the initial court order had already been entered. I needed to vacate the summary administration, open formal administration, and file a separate petition for my father's estate — six court documents total, plus supporting filings. I had been quoted $3,000 by other attorneys for this work. Gill reviewed everything for $250. But the price only tells part of the story. Gill turned the entire review around in a single day. He went through every document, made redline edits with track changes so I could see exactly what he added, and sent detailed messages explaining his reasoning. His edits were substantive — he added paragraphs the court requires that I had missed, flagged formatting conventions specific to probate court, and identified additional documents I needed to file (oath of PR, notice of confidential filing, affidavit of heirs). He uploaded samples of each one so I had a template to work from. What really set Gill apart was his willingness to go beyond the scope of a basic document review. He agreed to serve as my designated resident agent for both estates — a requirement for nonresident personal representatives in Florida — which saved me the time and cost of finding a separate Florida attorney for that role. He answered every follow-up question I had promptly and thoroughly. I was handling this pro se from out of state and was honestly nervous about whether my filings would hold up. Gill told me my documents were "very well drafted," made the targeted improvements the court would expect, and gave me the confidence to move forward. His knowledge of Florida probate procedure is clearly deep, and his communication style is straightforward and practical. If you need a Florida probate attorney — whether for a full engagement or a limited review like mine — I cannot recommend Gill highly enough. The value he delivered for the price is extraordinary. Five stars without hesitation."

I never knew how difficult it was to obtain representation or a lawyer, and ContractsCounsel was EXACTLY the type of service I was hoping for when I was in a pinch. Working with their service was efficient, effective and made me feel in control. Thank you so much and should I ever need attorney services down the road, I'll certainly be a repeat customer.
