Bruce Pruitt-Hamm really helped me out of a jam. When my wife passed away 5 years ago, I didn’t realize her estate had to go through probate. I just assumed, since her will was clear on the subject (I inherited everything) and my name was on all bank/retirement accounts jointly and all real estate was in both names, that probate wasn’t required. I was wrong. I was in the middle of getting refinancing on an investment property this summer and had already got contractors started on the remodel work on the property when the mortgage lender informed me that the refinancing couldn’t go through until the estate went through probate! I was extremely fearful that I’d have some very angry contractors when I would have to stop their work until the new mortgage was in place. In addition, I was going to lose my interest rate lock and mortgage processing fees! Then, in stepped Bruce and his able paralegal, Dorie, to the rescue. Bruce and Dorie fast-tracked the probate process and Bruce made several calls to the mortgage bankers and title company to keep them informed and to keep the mortgage moving. And, it worked! In only a few weeks, the probate was finalized and the refinance was complete without having to delay or shut down a single contractor! I highly recommend Pruitt-Hamm Law and Mediation Services for probate needs! JR 2019

“The initial meeting with Bruce on the phone was a positive experience. I immediately felt that I could easily talk to him. Our initial meeting at his office was thorough and gave me an idea of the possible path my divorce may take. I remember Bruce saying at the end of that meeting, that he and I would go hand-in-hand together through the process. This one sentence gave me hope and assurance that I would be taken care of and could put trust in him as a person and professional. Bruce and Dorie were friendly, courteous, and sympathetic to my issues. Bruce was always available to discuss details on weekends and late-night. Every effort was made to meet my personal schedule despite his own personal family challenges he faced. Bruce is a careful listener and his integrity was beyond expectation. Bruce was very approachable and provided explanations that I could understand. His sense of humor and down-to-earth style made the process easier for me. Dorie also was very friendly and responsive to my needs. I would recommend your services to others.” SS 2016
“I couldn’t have asked for a better experience or lawyer. Bruce listened to what my goal was and resolved my case in the best way possible. Bruce took great care of me legally and also provided support and advice about the smartest way to proceed in my situation. I felt he made the best use of the time and money I had. The situation itself was very difficult, but the way Bruce handled my case relieved a lot of stress for me.” SH 2015
