Legacy Law Group of Northern Virginia - Estate Planning & Probate Attorneys

"My husband was coming to the end of his life and we needed to get our will done as soon as possible. We were fortunate to find David Wilks, a local estate planner. David was effective, efficient and exhibited a wide range of knowledge and abilities in helping us with Virginia laws. He was able to complete our will in two weeks. My husband succumbed less than a month later. We were blessed that he was thorough and experienced . I have used my husband's will many times to resolve estate issues since his death. Currently, Mr. Wilks has suggested a trust for my situation. We hope to finalize this in the near future."

"David Wilks has been an excellent attorney for our Will and Estate needs for many years. He is regularly recommended by our professional tax and business accountant due to his highly conscientious and reliable in-depth knowledge. David's personal dedication and empathy was reflected when he responded to our friend's emergency end-of-life needs on short notice. Under some very trying circumstances, he worked to ensure that her estate was in order and would be properly transferred to her children and grandchildren. We highly recommend David Wilks for our Will, Estate, and Trust needs and will not use anyone else."

"My long association with David Wilks began way back in the 1970's when my lovely wife and I settled into a new home in Northern Virginia while I was still an Army officer. Believing it was time to pay attention to professional estate planning, and armed with the name of a lawyer provided by a friend, we met with David Wilks. At that initial meeting he made us feel comfortable that he would provide the best possible estate planning. After completing our wills and living trusts he kept his word to keep us informed of legal changes by periodically asking us to see him. About 5 years ago my dear wife passed away and I relied upon David to settle her estate. Over the years David became aware that I had two very loving sons and that due to my age and inability to get around without a walker I relied on them to assist me. He briefed my sons on the procedures that they could assist me with using "power of attorney." I appreciated the delicate manner he showed toward my sons, realizing they were grieving for the loss of a mother they loved dearly. David has always shown that he cares about me and my entire family. David followed up after an appropriate period by providing me with a new estate plan. Based on David's legal expertise and his show of caring for clients I would recommend him without any hesitation. In my estimation David Wilks is an outstanding lawyer, and a very decent human being."

"We have worked with David Wilks, for over 20 years now and highly recommend him to anyone requiring comprehensive estate planning. David developed a complex estate plan, including a Living Trust, Will and Advanced Medical Directive, for my mother, and has continued to work with her over the years to provide advice and to update her estate planning documents as her life events evolve. David is a very knowledgeable, thorough, and professional attorney who we trust to support us in making the best possible decisions for our estate."

"Mr. David Wilks prepared our Family Estate Planning Portfolio about ten years ago. It was a very thorough set of documents which included a Living Trust Agreement, Wills, Medical Directives, Powers of Attorney, and much more. I was approaching retirement and had put off estate planning because I thought it would be a massive endeavor. I knew I needed a plan and Mr. Wilks was recommended by a trusted friend. He explained the process completely and answered all our questions, before and during the process. He and his staff were knowledgeable and very professional. Having that Estate Plan work done provided our family a thing of real value and gave us a comforting peace of mind. Based on our experience, I recommend him with confidence."
