Best Estate Planning Lawyers in Albuquerque

We needed an attorney to change the Personal Rep in a particularly tricky estate situation. We hired Rick Grodner and he was successful in attaining that goal as well as helping us to navigate the steps needed in closing the estate. He was extremely knowledgeable in the steps that needed to be taken, handled all the heirs courteously, but firmly and was very prompt in all his communications with us. I couldn't be happier with the job he did. Rick was very reasonable with his fees. I would give him a A+ for the job he performed, and am very grateful that we hired him.

I highly recommend Rick Grodner. Our sister passed away in California without a will. She had a house in Albuquerque, a car in Los Angeles, and a substantial, final settlement payout coming due from a car accident. Rick was efficient and helpful in all aspects of handling the estate and assuring that the assets transferred to the legal heir. I live in Oregon so he set up a hearing to appointment me as her Personal Representative in New Mexico through a phone call with the Judge and handled all of requirements in advance. Rick is extremely professional and knowledgeable about estate law. His advice was always spot on and he really cared that we got things resolved correctly. I really appreciated the reminder emails he sent to assure I completed my tasks in a timely manner.

I highly recommend Rick Grodner without hesitation. I was the Personal Representative of my late father's estate. After my father's passing in Albq, there were a number of complications that I encountered (the original Will was missing, I was living/working full time in Tennessee, Covid made travel to/from Albq unwise, some of the detailed requirements associated with clearing probate court were difficult for me to execute, etc.). Literally within an hour of hiring him, Rick started the work needed to get through the process. He always kept me apprised our progress and reminded me of deadlines that we had to meet and forms that I needed to submit. Conversations via telephone and email over the following weeks were short, clear, and reassuring. He always responded to my queries very quickly, even after normal workday hours Altogether, he was highly professional, prompt, efficient, and polite.

Susan is very gifted at Special Needs Trusts if you are lucky enough for her to take your case.

Susan Tomita was extremely helpful with the Trust paperwork that we needed to have done for my husband. She explained the process and gave suggestions of what should be done next to help him qualify for a program that we are trying to get him into. She drew up POAs for us and clarified items that we were unsure about. Ms. Tomita is very efficient and she's always available. She's very nice and so helpful. I would recommend her without any reservations! In fact, it was the Senior Citizen's Law Office that recommended her to me.

I have done several wills with Attorney Tomita and over the years I have recommended her to all my friends. She is a highly experienced and knowledgeable probate lawyer, a lovely person, and a professional with integrity. I always enjoyed working with her.

I can highly recommend Mr. Dory. As a personal rep for my uncle, I retained him to defend my uncle's estate against an heir who tried to grab everything. He always got back to me fairly quickly and struck a good balance between listening to my suggestions and offering his own expert advice. He doesn't try to create more revenue for himself by filing endless motions and instead encouraged me to settle without a court fight if possible. After many emails and phone calls, I was invariably surprised by how few hours he had billed me. You won't go wrong with Mr. Dory.

James was very knowledgeable, listened thoroughly, asked relevant questions for clarification, made necessary suggestions to provide legal guidance, and completed my Will/Estate in a timely manner. The review process was thorough and resulted in the final documents I required. The entire process was professional and the documents produced addressed my needs. I recommend James Dory very highly! I am confident that his professionalism will provide my family the peace of mind I was looking to create.

I was very impressed with the work that Mr. James Dory completed in closing a complicated estate for me. He was very professional, promptly returned calls and answered emails timely. He is also very caring, kind and has a high level of integrity. I highly recommend Mr. Dory for any of your estate planning, wills, probate, trusts or real estate law needs!
