My wife and reached out to Jamie after my dad suddenly passed and we watched my mom having to deal with probate because they did not have a Will or Living Trust!
My wife and i decided to do a Living Trust, consisting with a “Will”, and Estate Planning!  Jamie made it so easy we were able to handle everything via phone and email never had to go to the office in person!
Jamie has a way of making you feel like you’re a long lost Christian friend!
We just felt the Spirit of God lead us to Jamie
Thank you so much

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  Mr. McAlister did a great job on the trust for my husband and me.  We had been worried about getting the trust done and Mr. McAlister made it so easy.  We enjoyed the visit with him at the signing for the trust.  He was also helpful getting our banking set up with the trust.   I would recommend him to anyone wanting a will or trust done.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  My wife and I were endlessly searching for an attorney clean up & update our estate plan, trust, will and health directives.  We finally had enough of our previous large firms 1,000 pages of overly complicated, inflexible Trust, Will & Estate plan documents with endless fees.  We decided to try McAlister Law based on many great recommendations.  We worked with Jamie who cleaned up, updated & patiently explained in language we could understand what would be best for our family & life situation.  I appreciated Jamie's effective communication style and his ability to make a previously complicated and frustrating process clear and simple to us.  My wife & I were so pleased with our experience.  As a result, we immediately engaged the McAlister Law Office to do the same for our kids and their families.  I personally have never been a fan of very many lawyers, but Mr. McAlister has won me over!  I highly recommend McAlister Law to anyone in need of  a Trust, Will or Estate Plan!  You won't be disappointed.
