About

References"I knew Glenn's father as a fine doctor in Sumter for many years. I was referred to Glenn by the Senior Partner in his firm, Wade Kolb.  Glenn worked on a couple of projects for me and completed them successfully on my behalf. Glenn did well in completing the projects on time and was thorough in his work. Glenn understood my goals quickly and told me exactly what the fees would be ahead of time. I would recommend Glenn to others in his areas of practice.”-- Bobby Johnson Sumter, SC "I contacted Glenn about a big legal project. Glenn was good at meeting the deadlines he promised to meet. Glenn was a good communicator and always responded to my calls and emails quickly.  Glenn and I worked as a team and successfully completed the legal project. Overall, I was satisfied with the fees that were charged for the work that was done.”-- Jimmy Dunbar Alcolu, SC "When I started my business planning in 2012, I knew I would need a good lawyer to help me navigate Federal and South Carolina legal codes.  After searching for a lawyer willing to assist me in incorporating, I found Glenn. He's friendly, easy to work with, and knows how to navigate the incorporation process. I can't recommend Glenn strongly enough."- Lonnie HolcombDavenport, Iowa

My dad had selected Glenn as his estate attorney prior to his death in 2013. The estate included: numerous real estate properties, farm equipment, vehicles, stocks, bonds, mutual funds, etc. Glenn worked diligently to guide me through the process of addressing my father's will. Issues were further complicated when a neighbor accidentally set fire to a portion of one of the properties. At that point, Glenn assumed additional responsibilities in counseling me of the ramifications and my legal rights. Oftentimes, there were differing opinions by family members on how to handle portions of the will, and yet Glenn provided the strength, wisdom, and courage to face each challenge. He is an expert in his field, he is compassionate to his clients, and he fulfills the job with integrity. He is forthcoming with all fees and will be the individual that I utilize in the creation of my will. I highly recommend Glenn Givens as your legal counsel.

Glenn Givens is thorough and courteous. I net with him and discussed exactly what I wanted and he researched everything and had the Will ready for review in about a week and a half. He made the process easy and affordable. He explained everything and answered all of my questions. I would use him again, in a heartbeat; and have recommended him to several friends.

My husband and I contracted Mr. Givens to help with estate planning. During our initial meeting, we had many questions since our estate has changed considerably over our marriage of 42 years. He answered our questions during our first session or answered them in an email shortly afterward. He also proposed questions for us to discuss that we had not previously considered. We communicated via email several times as we exchanged information which was convenient for both parties. We were also given copies of all documents via email to proofread and absorb before our next meeting. This was not an easy process to go through as you must consider all of the "what if's" and the "then what's." But, Mr. Givens guided us through tactfully and compassionately yet professionally. Mr. Givens was personable, intelligent and very knowledgeable. we would recommend him to others.

Our family hired Mr. Givens to prepare a living trust, end of life documents and wills. We explained family situations that may be difficult with respect to one or two people. Given all facts, opinions and wishes Mr. Givens expertly prepared all documents in such a way that all parties were pleased and all harsh situations were avoided. His knowledge and experience in these matters plus his standing as a master in tax helped us to prepare in advance for the loss of family members with little disruption to those still living. He was able to tell us before any loss what to expect and how it would be handled. He relieved our anxiousness and helped us to understand a difficult process in the best of times and circumstances. He took extra precautions to insure future problems were minimized. He understands family dynamics. Without him our family would have had major issues and possibly ended in court as well as having broken relationships. He's really great.

Glenn Givens has been helping with the settling of my mother's estate. It was a complicated will that included even more complications from my father's trust. He was there to answer all my questions. Walking me through everything. I would hire him again. None could have been better.

Mr. Glenn Givens was a great attorney for my family, and he helped us during a very difficult time. I would highly recommend Glenn to anyone looking for an attorney. He helped ease our probate issues and allowed us to move forward on inherited property. He was very understanding and explained everything in detail. If we had questions, he broke down every explanation. He took the time out to make sure we were all on the same page. He was also financially reasonable. He was easy to get in touch with in and out of the office. My family and I had a 5 star experience. If I have issues to this day he will still help even after working for us. I will hire him again if I ever need another attorney. Thanks Glenn!

Going through a very hard time in my life, the passing of my mother, Glenn took me under his wings and saved me. He took control and helped me with my mother's estate. I had no idea who, what or where to go.. He dotted all my I"s and crossed all my t's. Glenn listened to me when I was crying, laughing and so very angry at what I was having to go through. I was not only his client but we became friends. Probating my parents estate was very hard as well as heart breaking. Glenn was my God sent and I think he is a great lawyer and he knows all the ends and outs of probate. When surviving children lose their last parent, the first thing they should do his hire an estate lawyer and not try to figure things out on their own and if from Sumter S.C. call Glenn Givens.

My case was handled with professionalism, in a timely manner. I was well informed of all levels of the case, meeting and contacts made around my schedule. Because of his knowledge with taxes he secured additional funds that could have been overlooked. I would highly recommend to everyone.

I retained Glenn to help settle my mother's estate, and admittedly, I had chosen him somewhat at random since I'm located out of state, but I was continually impressed by his quick turnaround time, straightforward billing and competitive hourly rate. He made the process easy for me and I would recommend him to anyone else who may require probate/estate related services.
