Stephen has helped my wife and I with several estate planning issues and prenuptial agreements over the past two years since relocating to Florida. He’s probably one of the most intelligent lawyers I’ve ever dealt with. He is extremely thorough, efficient and explains things in a non-legal way that we could understand. We felt that we received superior value for the products we have received. He has been very generous with his time, answering quick questions even after our project was complete. If you are like me and try to avoid attorneys, Stephen is an excellent choice.

Over the past several years, we had several wills and trusts prepared by Stephen Putnoki Higgins as we transitioned to becoming Florida residents. He is personable, thorough, meticulous in his approach, and offered valuable suggestions throughout the process. When he moved to his present firm in St. Pete, we followed him without hesitation!

Stephen was a great lawyer to work with. He helped my wife and I prepare wills, trusts, and other "life" documents. He was prompt, able to explain all my questions, and quite thorough with all of his document preparations.

Not only is Steve an incredible attorney, he is an incredible person. With Steve as our attorney, I can sleep at night knowing all of legal matters are in the best hands possible. Steve is responsive, attentive, caring, witty, and, well, I could go in and on. We are truly blessed to have Steve in our legal corner!! This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Stephen helped us get together everything we needed for our dads estate planning. We were able to produce an up to date Will and Revocable trust and write up new Power of Attorney, Advance Health Care Directive, Power of Medical Proxy and even a Declaration of Domicile ( very important to do ). Stephen was able to accomplish this very quickly, even though we were thousands of miles away - it was like we were there. He made all aspects understandable and more importantly understandable to dad ! We would highly recommend Stephen to anyone who is doing estate planning for themselves or for their parents. It was a pleasure to have him work with dad and us and give us all peace of mind - Thanks, Stephen
