North Carolina Estate Planning & Fiduciary Law

I was referred to James Hickman by a friend that had worked with him previously on her family’s estate. I met with Jim and several members of his team. They were very through and made the process of handling my mother’s estate as smooth as possible. They took the time to explain to me exactly what we needed to do and what to expect from the process. They made our lives much easier in a very tough time for our family. I can’t thank James and his team enough for all their guidance and support. I will definitely recommend James Hickman to all my family and friends for any and all future estate direction and planning.

Jim Hickmon’s depth of knowledge and insight are unmatched. It’s no wonder why he is consistently one of North Carolina’s top estate planning attorneys. I liked the fact that he is also is a Certified Financial Planner, so he knows both the legal side of things as well as the financial side. Don’t hesitate: this is your guy.

Navigating estate planning for the first time can seem overwhelming. Mr. Hickmon, Whitney, and the team made the process straight forward, efficient, and educational. I highly recommend this firm.

Jim and his team provided exceptional service in creating our trust and other estate planning documents. He took the time to truly understand our needs and wishes, and he explained everything in a way that was easy to understand. His guidance was thorough, thoughtful, and backed by excellent recommendations that gave us confidence in every decision we made. I would highly recommend Jim to anyone seeking knowledgeable, patient, and trustworthy estate planning assistance.

Jim and his team are extremely competent and intelligent and handled my complicated trust with precision and accuracy. Jim's extensive knowledge with asking the right questions created a trust that included all of my needs, known and unknown. I would not recommend any other attorney to handle any of my future trust needs due to these facts. Jim went above and beyond in my expectations when I needed to update my trust due to personal changes.
