I highly recommend Peter, Carolyn and the Team at Kilpatrick Hatton. They don't charge like a wounded bull, and no question is too silly, no request beyond their capabilities.

Recently we turned to Peter Kilpatrick to assist us review and update our Wills, Power of Attorney and Enduring Guardianship. Peter's experience shone through via his approachable yet consultative approach. Including recommending similar documents (especially the Enduring Guardianship) be established for our 19 year old daughter, something we hadn't even considered. We highly recommend Peter and Kilpatrick Hatton for their comprehensive services. -
