Pleasant and extremely helpful.
I have hired Charles on several occasions. I was extremely impressed by Charles' warmth, care, knowledge, and advice while orchestrating my living trust plan. Then, I went through a divorce, my son passed away unexpectedly, and I was very emotional at the time. He soothed my fears, put my anxiety to rest, and guided me with the utmost respect while updating my will, POA, HIPPA, etc. and assisted me with paperwork for the Court and Bank when my son died intestate. I did not hesitate calling Charles for his assistance. My parents live in VA; however, not in RVA. They, too, utilized Charles with their needs and were grateful for his expertise and assistance. I highly recommend Charles for your estate planning needs.
When my mother and I first saw Charles, my father had just become ill and we felt the end was near. They did not have many assets, and I thought that there wasn't much that could be done. I couldn't have been more wrong. We started with the most likely scenario of how the next few years would play out (once again we were wrong); however, Charles worked with us and we composed new wills and moved around assets to optimize most any scenario. During the next 6 1/2 years that my parents survived, he was always caring and professional. Hiring Charles was one of the best decisions I ever made.
