Needed some guidance around business planning and what protections can be implemented for clients of mine and one of the attorneys there, Chris Jones, was professional and very thorough. I am impressed and confident to loop him in on multiple scenarios. I'd give him a 5 on timeliness responsiveness as well. Smart guy. Good firm.

I have used Chris Jones for many years and have had nothing but positive results. He has assisted with the creation of an LLC and has handled various legal issues that have arisen from my business dealings. Each time Chris and his staff have been honest and upfront about the process and costs involved. Chris is a Pro at what he does and it is comforting to know that I have a "go to" attorney who can handle any issues that may come my way. If you have a legitimate legal issue and need solid and sound legal advice, I wholeheartedly recommend Chris Jones and his capable staff. Thank you!
Tried to get Chris Jones at this firm to give me some answers... He wouldnt answer the questions without a retainer... Perfectly fine with that... So I asked some questions pertaining to his honesty and integrity, making sure that I would get adequate competent representation, and he declined to answer those questions... The specific questions I asked Chris Jones, at this firm, that has yet to be answered are:
Who is your first duty to, should I retain you?
Corpus Juris Secundum (C.J.S.) legal encyclopedia, volume 7, section 4, His first duty is to the courts and the public, not to the client, and wherever the duties to his client conflict with those he as an officer of the court in the administration of justice, the former must yield to the latter.
Am I considered a "ward of the court"?
According to Section 2 in said Section 7, We find that clients are “wards of the court:”
Clients are also called "wards of the court" in regard to their relationship with their attorneys.
What is a ward of the court? According to a court case, “wards of court” are infants and persons of unsound mind
Wards of court. Infants and persons of unsound mind placed by the court under the care of a guardian. Davis' Committee v Loney, 290 Ky. 644, 162 S.W. 2d 189, 190. Their rights must be guarded jealously. Montgomery v. Erie R. Co., C.C.A.N.J., 97 F.2d 289, 292. See Guardianship.
Am I now, or will I ever be considered "of unsound mind" at any time, whether I retain you or not?
If they can't answer some simple questions to determine whether or not you will get adequate, competent representation, and get some honest answers to make the decision whether you are going to retain them or not, it is best to run away screaming for the hills... I would be VERY WARY of approaching this fellow, or this firm, with your business...
Best of luck, God bless...

I took a tour of the new office space, and I was moved by the attention and care they have taken to create a space that is clean, comfortable, beautiful and super efficient for getting work done. It felt more like a spa than it did a law office. I love this place.

I have used Dave for estate planning and I've also used Paxton for a real estate matter. Both were great to work with, very professional and knowledgeable in their area of expertise. I will use them again when needed.

I needed to update my will. They were beyond thorough, really taking the time to insure my plan was what I needed. I will forever be grateful for their work.

I really hesitate to ever post a negative review, but haven't had the greatest experience with a probate case with this law firm. I was quoted 4 k, and it ended up being 8k even after I expressed concerns (they cut out some attorney fees). I wasn't notified of an important court date because the paralegal was sick/out...extending probate 2 to 3 weeks more unecessarily. Finally, when my real estate agent was preparing documents for the sale of a property, the title company informed us that title wasn't prepared correctly by the firm. I'm not sure if I was just "too little" of a fish for the firm? Unfortunately, I didn't feel that they cared about the case and important details were overlooked. For a person going through probate (not ideal for anyone), you want a lawyer who cares about your case and is on top of dates and details...sadly this wasn't my experience.

David is extremely knowledgeable, thorough and especially thoughtful. I would highly recommend his services to anyone.

After we had our first child, we wanted to make sure we planned for his physical and financial well-being, should anything ever happen to us. Through their Estate Planning services, York Howell provided us with the peace of mind we needed. The process was simple, yet extremely thorough. We would absolutely recommend York Howell!
