I have recently had a very tough experience in my family with the estate of great aunt. Cecil and Andrew and the other in his law firm have made all the difference in getting me through this difficult time. They returned all my calls and emails and in general they just know the law so well. This firm does have a superior reputation and frankly it is well deserved.

Unfortunately, my immediate family was completely at odds with each other as to how to handle the affairs of my mother and my step father. I thought for sure the matter was heading for a lawsuit and my mother at her advanced age was caught in the middle of this family war. I am so grateful to Mr. Harvell. He is insightful and strong and holds to his excellent reputation. His firm is outstanding in handling these matters of the elderly and I just am glad we got to them first.

My situation was so complicated and I asked for recommendations from knowledgeable people and their recommendation was Harvell and Collins. I am forever grateful as Cecil Harvell made estate planning a positive experience. He spent much time explaining options and guided me in making productive decisions. He is both professional and extremely knowledgeable.........and most considerate of his clients.

This lawyer helped me resolve the will and probate of my deceased mother and I must say it was a very smooth process. I was very concerned at first with the pressure of all of this put on me, but Mr. Harvell and his staff really did the best job for me. I thank him and his staff.

My wife and I were very concerned because my mother had not planned her estate. We hired Mr. Harvell and he met with my mother several times and even went to her home a few times. I know for a fact he saved us many thousands of dollars. Mr. Harvell always returned my calls and kept me and my wife very much in the loop of information. I highly recommend him.

I hired Mr. Harvell to help me plan the future of my mom and to protect her assets. I live in Florida and she lives in North Carolina. I was very pleased and am confident in the planning. I felt the price was most fair.
