“This was my first time engaging with an Attorney’s office and everything went smoothly. You made it easy and comfortable, answering any questions I had. You were willing to work with me remote, in person – any avenue that suited me best. I appreciate the nudge follow ups to help complete things in a timely manner. I greatly appreciate your services and support. And happy to have my parents working with your firm as well.”

“We were satisfied with the services provided. Attorney Leighton and Emily both were very easy to work with, walking us through the nuances of estate planning. I appreciated the demeanor of both Attorney Leighton and Emily. We felt very comfortable and were able to gain the knowledge necessary for managing our estate planning. Estate planning is necessary but not always thought of for young adults. If my friends and I were discussing estate planning I would gladly recommend they start a conversation with Attorney Leighton.”

“We worked with Tim Leighton’s firm on advise and getting our estate planning in order. Tim and Emily not only patiently answered our many questions but also accommodated our request updating the paperwork to best suit our needs.
Sincere efforts were made to get us comfortable by constantly encouraging us to ask questions with “no questions are dumb questions” policy!
The turnaround time for setting up meetings, document preparations and getting responses to emails was very quick.
I would highly recommend their services! Thank you very much!”

“As a first-time executor of an estate, I sought advice from the Leighton Legal Group. Attorney Tim Leighton and Paralegal Emily Kaloupek filed my father’s will in court and prepared a small estate affidavit for me. When I reached a bureaucratic stalemate while processing a beneficiary claim to an annuity inheritance, I again asked for their assistance. They gave me contact information for the individual in charge of the company’s annuities department who then facilitated processing of my claim. In all my communications with the Leighton legal team, whether in person, or via teleconference, telephone, or email, they were professional, cordial, and patient with my many questions. They significantly eased the emotional stress of settling my dad’s estate, and I am grateful for their wise counsel and compassion throughout the process. I have complete confidence in their abilities and wholeheartedly recommend their service.”

“My husband and I went to Tim Leighton for estate planning purposes 13 years ago and again most recently. Tim and Emily helped us when we were in a crunch with regards to time. They were patient, knowledgeable and very accommodating. Turn around time in getting our documents edited was impressive. It has been a pleasure to work with Tim & Emily. They made the experience of dealing with estate planning most people dread very manageable! Highly recommend!”
