James Alfred Butts IV

We were looking for Estate Planning on the Northern Neck and was referred to Mr. Butts by a friend. Best decision to hand over our Estate Planning to him and his professional staff. All were very knowledgeable and professional, as well as understanding and caring about our current and future needs. We are grateful for his assistance. There were no hidden fees - everything was stated up front. We were guided through the process and when we had a question after our initial meeting, we received an accurate and understanable reply.

Recently worked with Mr . Butts and Jessica in creating and recording estate planning documents. They were both clear in providing us information and advice. We had been putting off doing this work because of what we thought would be it’s complexity. These folks made this work much easier because of their knowledge and ability to explain things so that we could understand them. Would highly recommend them.

James (Alfie) and spouse (Jessica) created thorough and complete Estate Plans, Wills, Trusts and advanced directives for us. Alfie was very helpful by discussing ways to address our needs and pointing out area requiring our attention. This was important work that we had put off for too long. We are glad that we found Alfie and very pleased by the professionalism and completeness of his work. We are extremely satisfied with both the process and the results!

We recently engaged Mr. Butts to review and update our will and trust. Having gone through this process before, we were most impressed by his thoroughness, and the extent of scenarios he suggested we prepare for. He clearly had our best interest and security as his focus. Throughout the process, Mr. Butts also made himself available for the simplest of questions, down to getting his hands dirty and helping us fill out forms. We would highly recommend him to others, whether estate planning for the first time, or for a more thorough review of existing documentation.

We are delighted with the Estate Planning we did with Mr. Butts. Getting started is always the hard part, but Mr. Butt's made the entire process both easy and very informative. After reaching the finish line for out planning, we felt like we accomplished our goal to get our house in order. We would not hesitate referring Mr. Butt's services to any of our friends and family.

Alfie helped my husband and I put together our will and set up a trust for our children. He and Jessica walked us through step by step; they were very patient and very knowledgable.

Outstanding Attorney - Fantastic Results We were long overdue to secure our estate and provide a smooth transition for our children. A health scare made the situation urgent. Alfie provided the experience and expertise we needed in that moment. He has proven to be a brilliant advisor. All aspects of our situation were discussed and the ramifications were understood. Alfie is charming and insightful and his assistant Jessica makes sure all details are covered. Their smooth rapport made this difficult task easy and comfortable. The cost was very reasonable, especially given the extensive care we received and the impeccable quality of the final product. We highly recommend Alfie and his team for all your legal needs.

My spouse and I were very pleased with the results of our collaboration with Alfie Butts and his associate Jessica. They put together a full package of updated estate documents, alerting us to special considerations relevant to our specific situation. Their package included trust documents, wills, powers of attorney, medical directives, and instructions for survivors. They also put together packages for us to send to all the people who may have a role in administering any of the elements of the package. They were flexible in accommodating our schedules and explained things to us in a patient and comprehensive manner.

What impressed us the most about Alfie Butts and his staff was not just their professionalism, but their willingness to go beyond the necessities and do whatever might be difficult for the client. Further, they were patient and thorough in explaining the process as well as completing the related paperwork. We were amazed at Alfie's wide expertise in the field of estate planning and trusts, and his sense of dignity no matter what the size or quality of the trust. Lastly, we felt that they were very reasonable and fair, and totally worth the short drive out to the country!

Alfie Butts guided us through the process of setting up a Trust. His knowledge and grasp of our individual situation made an unpleasant task pleasant. Mr. Butts and his staff patiently guided us through the process answering our questions and providing guidance and solutions to our individual needs. His office is very organized and available. We can't thank them enough for taking such good care of us. Charlie and Bobbie
