Pete has taken care of my whole family for years. When my mother passed away, we could tell the work he had done was fantastic and we appreciate him very much.

Terrible experience. He serves as the public administrator for Tulare County and he should just stick to one job because you will never get a hold of him. You know how greedy lawyers can be. I have been trying to reach him for three days now with no success. He has gotten paid his commission and therefore thinks he has no obligation to pay me out from my own mother's estate. Very unprofessional.

If you need help navigating through the murky waters of estate / probate matters. Attorney Daniel Marvin in Visalia is a light to illuminate an otherwise dark cramped and uncomfortable pathway. If you look for pro. Service you won't go wrong I highly recommend the Law offices of Sherwood & Martin two thumbs up.
