James Alfred Butts IV

Mr. Butts was highly recommended to my wife and I for having a trust created. He and his staff showed professionalism, knowledge and provided excellent advice during our meetings to create our trust. So thankful we took the recommendation and hired Mr. Butts and his Tidewater Trust Team. They are Top Shelf!

We were very fortunate to work with him in setting up our trust and wills. He explained everything to us every step of the way and was very responsive to our needs. We are very confident that our present and future wishes have been securely addressed for ourselves and our heirs. We would highly recommend him.

A few years ago we enrolled in an Estate Planning course at the local community college, at which, Mr. Butts was an instructor. The instruction delivered by Mr. Butts was very informative and valuable for us in the estate planning process. At recommendation from a close friend, we recently worked with Mr. Butts to update our wills, establish a Trust, to prepare Advanced Medical Directives and POA documents. We found Mr. Butts and his staff very thorough, efficient and comprehensive.

Mr. Butts is a focused matter of fact guy and provided guidance and needed services for us. He easily resolved our complex trust and estate issues. He is a sensitive, knowledgable, likable, trustworthy and honorable man. I have no reservations in recommending him.

We consider Mr. Butts an excellent trust attorney. He took the time to explain in detail every aspect of our trust documents making the entire process easier to understand and finalize. His staff was always polite and efficient.

We were referred by our Financial Planner, based on his positive experiences on extensive past collaborations with Alfie. We have a blended family and an adult daughter with special needs. Alfie expertly guided us through the best processes for our unique family situation. It has been easy to work with him as we needed to update and make changes over the years. Our family highly recommends Alfie as a Trust and Estate Advisor and Attorney.
