Seemed like I went through 2 bad apples to find the right fit for processing our land contracts and real estate closings. Thanks for ensuring we were covered. We're pleased and will continue to work with you and your team.

Attorney Phifer is one of the most astute probate and estate planning lawyers I know. Not only were his years of experience obvious when dealing with the sometimes confusing details of my grandmother's estate great, but the amount of research that he does as well as his deftness with current laws and trends are very much head and shoulders over other attorneys I spoke with. Reminds me of the old song by an artist who said Knowledge reigns supreme over nearly everyone! Attorney Phifer's does that indeed!

As the executor of an estate, I tried liquidating a property that was in probate by myself. I ran into many problems and delays because I didn't fully understand real estate or the probate process. Mr. Phifer helped me close the probate and sell the property without any incumbrances. I sold the property in the nick of time before losing it to property taxes.

Mr. Phifer provided me with excellent guidance and counseling with my Probate case. He took the time to ensure that I was properly prepared. He explained both sides of the law so I would have a full understanding of the law.
