“Michael and his team were great! I needed a living trust, will, and advanced directive written up and it was super easy as they took care of everything. Michael is also just a great person in general to work with!
There was some nuance and info that Michael was able to walk me through in a thoughtful way as we crafted the direction together. Once it was perfect, the notarization was easy and they sent me a great full binder with all of the documents.”

“The entire estate planning experience from beginning to final document was easy. It was very easy to work with their team and to have my questions answered.”

“Michael Blacksburg is friendly, professional, astute, knowledgeable, and empathetic. Working through the complications of our estate planning was made understandable and smooth.”

“I set up a trust in 2023 and chose Michael as my estate attorney. Everything was streamlined, fully remote, and at a reasonable price. He brought up many details that I hadn’t remotely considered as part of my estate planning – and I’ve had some form of end-of-life plan in place since I was a young adult (I used to ride motorcycles, which are incredibly dangerous…)
I was already planning to write a positive review, but after we wrapped things up, I needed to fast-track an amendment to my trust. I emailed Michael right before a holiday weekend informing him of the situation, not expecting any response for several days. He went above and beyond by appreciating my sense of urgency and provided instructions on actions to take in the interim prior to scheduling the notarization of the amendment. His quick response and advice put my mind enormously at ease and I remain very grateful!”

“I highly recommend Blacksburg Law for estate planning. I recently got my entire estate plan redone and updated after almost a decade, including revising my living trust, and their service and quality was exceptional.
They went beyond just the legal documents too, providing resources to help me have difficult conversations with my loved ones about medical care and after-death wishes. They are very LGBTQ friendly and provided great advice about protecting my unmarried partner also. And their fee was very reasonable, especially for the high quality of service.”

“Michael and his team are fantastic. Their work was timely, of high quality, and priced fairly. Michael did a great job incorporating my wife’s and my priorities, educating us about potential considerations, and explaining the estate plan that resulted from this process. They’ve gone above and beyond helping me navigate some complicated issues that arose when funding my trust.”

“Michael’s attention to detail and personal approach helped me realize a plan that truly reflects my values. His passion for estate planning brings humanity and meaning to what could easily be a stressful, morbid project. He and his awesome team also have great systems to move you painlessly through the paperwork. If you’re looking for organized, efficient, and thoroughly knowledgeable, look no further.”

“We initially worked with Blacksburg Law in 2020 to set up our estate plan. We just worked with them again (2023) on a series of extensive and detailed changes to the plan. For the most recent changes we worked with Natalie, who was fantastic. She is thorough, detail oriented, and took the time to answer all our questions. She made recommendations beyond the scope of our initial request that strengthened the entire estate plan. Estate planning can feel overwhelming. Natalie was patient and moved at our pace. We will continue to work with Blacksburg as our family’s needs grow and change in the coming years.”

“Excellent service and attention to deal. Michael Blacksburg and his team make the legal process easy and understandable. Their work is superior and they are excellent at client communication.”

“Michael and his team took great care in the preparation of my family trust, and includes ongoing support for as long as I need. The process was relatively easy (as far as trust preparations go). I’ll always work with Michael and am grateful for his help!”

“I had dreaded doing estate planning and put it off for years, but Michael Blacksburg made it understandable, easy and affordable. I felt listened to, well-counseled, and cared for.”

“Excellent attorney to guide one through the complications of estate planning. Exceptionally easy to work with.”

“We communicated by email, phone and Skype – without one single f2f meeting! Michael’s associate Louis was at the same professional level, and the signing of the final documents was as easy as was the whole process.”

“Blacksburg was a Boy Scout. Why is that relevant to an estate planning attorney? Because, years ater he got his Eagle badge, he’s still trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, and kind. It’s these personal qualities that separate him from other lawyers just as knowledgeable or technically adept.”

“Michael was a knowledgeable, professional and extremely patient attorney. He explained things in common English, so the process made sense, and got very specific when necessary. In all, he took a painful process and made it as pain-free as possible.”

“Michael and his team are knowledgeable, professional, and have been accommodating to our crazy schedules. They understand that we are juggling a lot in our lives and therefore, made our meetings and phone consultations fit our lifestyle whenever possible.”

“Michael is assisting me with estate planning that’s involved some complicated tangents. Didn’t make him blink, but he rolled up his sleeves and dived in. I have been consistently impressed with his patience in explaining issues (sometimes more than once), his concern for his clients, and his common-sense approach.”

“With his knowledge of estate and trust law and his wonderful personal suggestions, I can’t recommend Michael Blacksburg enough to a new family making important decisions about life and money!”
