Client Success Stories
I recently had the pleasure of having my will created with the Estate & Elder Law Center of Southside Virginia, PLLC. To be honest I did not know where to begin. The legal specialist, Cheyenne, offered me a variety of times to meet with Mr. Robert Haley, attorney, to discuss and explain the process. I have to admit Cheyenne was extremely patient and professional every step of the way. Unfortunately, I can be scatter-brained and found myself apologizing for not responding to her emails as quickly as I would have liked, but she maintained a cheerful and encouraging demeanor every step of the way. When I arrived for my first meeting with Mr. Haley I found him to be punctual, prepared, knowledgeable, and friendly. He spent at least an hour listening to my concerns and answering all the questions I had. Within a week Cheyenne sent me the draft of my documents. Once again, it took me a while to review them, and Cheyenne continued to maintain an abundance of grace and patience. Finally, when it was time to sign my documents the notary, Mrs. Cricket Haley, bent over backwards to make the process as convenient for me as possible. All parties reassured me every step of the way that if anything ever needed to be change, I simply needed to contact them and they would follow up accordingly. I must say this law firm is not only efficient, professional, and competent, but they are kind and supportive of the people they serve. If you are seeking this type of representation, I cannot recommend them highly enough.

Have referred many families for expert advice about estate planning and asset protection. With senior living many families are unprepared for next steps to make sure mom/dad have adequate care. Estate and Elder law have always delivered the right counsel at the appropriate times.

My husband and I had the absolute pleasure of working with Mr. Robert Haley, his wife Cricket, and their assistant Cheyenne at their Lynchburg office. A few weeks ago we set up our Durable and Healthcare Power of Attorney papers, as well as our Living Wills with this incredibly efficient and caring law firm. We were impressed with how straightforward the entire process was, from scheduling our appointments with Mr. Haley to getting our documents signed, witnessed, and notarized at the end. They took special care to describe each step of the process, as well as what we can expect from them should any of our documents need to be put into action. We wholeheartedly recommend this dedicated firm of caring people!
