We were impressed with Craig's and his staff's professionalism, knowledge, sensitivity and support during a trying time in assisting us through the Probate process. It made a difficult challenging task a lot easier as they provided council and worked with us through the steps and paperwork to complete the many probate phases to the final disposition.

We used Craig Nixon for settling my mother’s estate. I must say, we were beyond impressed. He, and his office, were friendly, helpful, knowledgeable and efficient. Everything was settled quickly, making what seemed like a stressful, impossible time quite manageable. Thank you so much to Craig and all of his wonderful staff for all that you did to help our family.

We chose Craig Nixon to handle the the estate of my deceased father. From the start, Craig handled the probate application and items of the will in a very prompt and efficient manner. He was very personable and was able to answer all our questions in an easy to understand way. He made a tough and daunting task much easier, and accurately predicted costs and timeframes for each stage of the process.
Very happy with our choice to use Craig Nixon to conclude our legal matters, and would wholeheartedly recommend this firm for your legal matters too.

Craig Nixon and his staff handled a delicate family situation for us in an extremely caring and professional manner that we will be forever grateful for. We had an extreme crisis on our hands and Craig stepped in as a friend and a lawyer to help settle our situation and leave everyone feeling relieved and appeased.
My brother has struggled with drug addiction for over thirty years and the situation escalated to the point of extreme elder and financial abuse against my parents. When me and my husband stepped in to try and stop the situation it created more family conflict and as a friend Craig

I met with Craig and his team about a legal issue I had that I did not fully understand. They were quick to explain the situation in terms I could understand and made me feel comfortable when proceeding with the case. The service Craig and his team provided was excellent and came at a reasonable price.
