Nick Shimoda was extremely knowledgeable in helping me with all of my questions concerning my estate. He and his staff were very professional in preparing all of the documents that I will be needing. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for an estate planning lawyer.

We highly recommend Nick. He very patiently walked us through all our many questions and explained things in a easily understandable way. He went the extra mile to be sure we felt comfortable with the decisions to be made. He was a true delight to interact with, and we felt very confident with his knowledgable, yet not pushy advice. We are so pleased with the help we received from him.

I can’t say enough good about Nick Shimoda. He was the ultimate professional, courteous, patient and thorough as he walked me through my long term planning process. I am confidently at ease with his advice and so happy this is a done deal. I highly recommend him.

My wife and I have greatly benefited from Nick's good help and advice (over a number of years) with regard to creation of wills and family estate planning. Nick is personable and a pleasant person to work with. He puts his clients' interest first. He is smart, knowledgeable and experienced in dealing with wills and estate planning. Nick is inquisitive (always looking for the best solution given our family's situation and needs) in an effort to meet our family needs in the best possible way. My wife and I highly recommend Nick for any help you need with will preparation (modification) and/or estate planning.

He was Very Sympathetic and Respectful and Thanks to the impeccable Estate Planning that he had done for my mother... it was 1, 2, 3.., and out the door I went. Regrettably, leaving behind a new found friend... Nick Shimoda !!

Nick's guidance in planning matters of concern as we retire came without pressure but with helpful explanations. He explained options concerning Living Wills, disbursement of property, and funding long-term care. He patiently rephrased explanations for our understanding. He proposed possible solutions for every matter that troubled us, giving recommendations, but not pressuring one over another. We cannot state how satisfied, pleased, and calmed we are because of his counsel.

We are a family of five from Dothan, Alabama. After many nights discussing what would happen to our children in the event both of us were gone - we decided it was time to reach out to an attorney for help. (Nick Shimoda came highly recommended for wills and estate planning.) This was our first time talking with an attorney and we had a lot of questions. Nick seemed to be half attorney / half counselor. He rightly understood all our concerns and questions. Nick walked us through a process that addressed all our concerns as well as things we never thought about. Having conversations like these are usually difficult. Nick has been (and is) a gift to our family. We aren't millionaires with tons of cash to award when we die, but the most valuable treasures we have on this earth (our children) have now been thoughtfully and legally protected. I highly recommend Nick Shimoda as an attorney if you need any help regarding wills, estate planning, elder law, etc. You will be so glad you met him.
