The Estate & Asset Protection Law Firm

I worked with Robin for several years to settle my father’s small estate . She was patient, kind, diligent and focused on the details of settling the estate. There were a few complications that were Not the fault of this firm. Robin addresses each one until completed. I can not say enough about the professionalism and great communication and support I received . I highly recommend this firm !

I was actively involved in the estate planning process for my father, who was the named client in our engagement with The Estate & Asset Protection Law Firm. Although he was the formal client, I paid for the services and participated in all meetings, decisions, and document reviews to help protect our family’s interests. We hired the firm to assist with creating a revocable trust and related documents. Unfortunately, our experience raised serious concerns about the quality of legal guidance and overall client service. From the outset, we hoped to be treated as a united family—a father and son with a long-standing relationship and shared goals. Instead, we felt early assumptions were made about our intentions, rather than efforts to understand our dynamic. Though disappointed, we gave the firm the benefit of the doubt and proceeded. Those initial dynamics seemed to influence the engagement throughout. We believe some advice was shaped more by assumption than by our input. We later discovered provisions—such as language allowing the firm to appoint a Trust Protector—had been included without our knowledge or consent. This was not explained in advance and was only found through our own review. When we asked to allow beneficiaries to vote on this role, we were told it wasn’t permitted. A second attorney later confirmed it was perfectly legal and commonly used when requested. We also encountered inconsistent billing. We were quoted a certain price but later asked to pay additional fees. After raising concerns, the charges were removed. While we appreciated the correction, it made us wonder how closely other clients are reviewing their billing. In several areas, we felt the firm’s advice didn’t reflect my father’s actual wishes. Rather than tailoring the trust to his stated goals, we were steered toward provisions that seemed based on firm templates or internal preferences. The result was a lack of transparency and flexibility. The tone of communication often felt overly defensive. We were warned that asking for changes could lead to additional legal fees, which felt more like a deterrent than part of a collaborative process. We came for estate planning—not litigation. We ultimately hired a second attorney, who confirmed our concerns and helped us revise provisions to better reflect the client’s intent. Many issues could have been avoided with clearer communication and more client-focused service. We believe this firm may be more accustomed to working with elderly clients who don’t have active advocates. The process felt passive by design and not suited for families seeking thoughtful collaboration. We encourage others—especially adult children assisting aging parents—to attend all meetings and read every line. Most troubling, one attorney proposed including a coin flip clause to resolve trustee disputes. This was not a joke—it was suggested during a serious legal planning discussion. We found this highly unprofessional. While others may have different experiences, we cannot recommend The Estate & Asset Protection Law Firm based on ours. If you choose to engage this firm, review every document carefully, involve a trusted advocate, and don’t hesitate to seek a second opinion.

Dear Sabrina (and Shannon), On behalf of my father, my sister, and myself, I want to thank you as profusely as possible for all your excellent work in securing this very generous VA pension for my father. Additionally, thanks for the exceptional clarity of your summary / recap letter and for helping us set up automatic deposit of my father's monthly VA pension payment. It was a pleasure to work with Sabrina (and Shannon behind the scenes) who worked long, hard, and accurately in order to obtain a VA pension far beyond my father's expectations. To say he was very pleased is to understate his joy! We look forward in the years ahead to The Estate & Asset Protection Law Firm's continued help in service to our World War II era veteran father. With gratitude, Ronald J Ford (son of my WWII era veteran father) Fayetteville, Arkansas Rebecca Doster (daughter of my WWII era veteran father) Tucker, Georgia

The office of Shannon Pawley was instrumental in assisting my family to safeguard my mom's assets and to guide us in her elderly years. Two years ago they helped me make difficult but necessary decisions that made my mother's passing much less stressful. All of the main major decisions were handled and during her death, I did not have to focus on anything else but her. It made this sad time easier and I appreciate their knowledge and advisement.

This law firm has been very easy and courteous to work with. I especially liked working with Robin Lindsay. She took time to explain everything to me and she always quickly replied to my emails or phone calls. Thank you for your help during this stressful time of settling an estate!

Shannon and her team have been so wonderful. I engaged their services in the midst of a crisis and they have been dedicated to making the process as stress-free and uncomplicated a possible. I am so glad a friend referred me to this firm. Thank you, Shannon. And shoutout to Danielle, Brittney, Alex, and Diamond as well!

Shannon Pawley and her team are exceptional at helping families navigate tough situations. We began working with her upon finding out my father had Stage 4 kidney cancer. His decline was more rapid than expected. Attorney Pawley and her entire team expedited paperwork that allowed me to focus on my father’s care, make decisions that suddenly needed to be made for him medically and financially, and has allowed me the ability to focus more on grieving and less on legal matters upon his passing. It is obvious she is knowledgeable about the best ways to navigate estates to protect the assets for the owners and their loved ones. It is just as obvious that she is passionate and has true heart for what her clients go through. We will be using her for own estate needs, and I recommend her expertise to everybody I can. This service is worth every penny we paid as it has saved us more money and time than I could imagine.
