Reviews
We retained Mr. Vicknair to help us with updating our wills, which due to some unusual circumstances was a very complex process. He provided us with excellent advice and was very patient in answering all of our questions. He even provided us with new Powers of Attorney as a part of the update. We highly recommend Mr. Vicknair and would not hesitate to retain him again.
We hired Mr. Vicknair to use his expertise to setup a trust for our mother. Our goal was to make sure her estate was protected and would relieve any burden on her. He was extremely knowledgeable on all aspects of elder law and tailored a trust that included her Last Will and Testament, Power of Attorney, and Health Power of Attorney. He was patient with our many questions and never rushed us with any meetings or calls we had with him. His professionalism and ethics are unquestionable. We highly recommend using Mr. Vicknair and will continue to utilize his legal expertise in the future as our needs require.
As an insurance and financial services professional I am very picky about who I refer my clients to. I have referred about 5 of my clients to Ted, and so far I have not been disappointed. Ted's ability to explain the process goes far beyond the typical attorney/client experience. No question is a dumb question and he takes the time to answer them all. Ted is great with follow up, and there are many times he has taken phone calls from me with no financial gain to himself. I consider him not only a business asset to myself and my clients, but also a friend. I've only known him a couple of years, but I'm convinced that I will work with him for many years to come. I don't work with Ted due to lack of options. We are approached constantly by estate planning attorneys attempting to establish a referral relationship. I have and will continue to choose Ted because he has proven himself time and again to be compassionate, empathetic, and patient.
I would definitely recommend Mr. Vicknair as your attorney. He is very honest and patient in explaining the estate process. Mr. Vicknair took the time to come to my house to conduct business as I was unable to drive. He never pressured me into anything, and always answered my questions. Mr. Vicknair is a great knowledgeable attorney, a pleasure to work with, and has my support.
