Estate planning attorney recommendations

My husband and I finally admitted we need wills and probably a trust. Also my mom's estate may need probate at some point. Anyone used a good estate attorney in Raleigh?

Daniel Brinson at Finch, Pinna, Johnston & Burwell did our wills and trust. Explained it all without making us feel stupid.

Seconding Brinson. He also helped my aunt through probate.

the fee is the point

Not estate planning, but for anyone needing family law, Angela Haas at Haas & Associates was amazing during my divorce.

And if you ever start a business, Fourscore Business Law is great for setting up an LLC and contracts.

one and done

@mastergardenerjo roughly how long did the wills and trust take with Brinson, start to finish?

About six weeks for us. Most of that was us getting our paperwork together.
