I'd give Peter Lennington a zero if I could. There's another 1 star post here and it's our exact experience. Was recommended to Pete from a friend that had used him for their estate planning. Had a great meeting, left after giving him a check for $1,200 with him promising to be in touch about next steps/what we needed to do. Never heard from him again. Called and left messages for him as well as with his assistant. He's a crook Do not use him.

On January 29th, 2020 my wife and I consulted with Mr. Lennington for the purpose of drafting a living trust. After the consultation, I paid the 50% down payment of $1250 with my credit card and he said he would be sending additional information and forms for us to review and proceed. That was the last we heard from him.
I tried calling several times over the next two months but he never answered or returned my calls. I also wrote him a letter and an email, also with zero response from him.
Finally, I was fed up and initiated a charge back through my credit card company to get my deposit back. But it was not until April 15th that the dispute was settled in my favor. Had I paid by check, I am certain I would have had to take Mr. Lennington to small claims court.
This is the first time in my life that I felt the need to hire a lawyer and I must say it has been a dismal experience. I have never in my life been subjected to such a display of unprofessionalism. How Mr. Lennington is still in business is beyond me. On the home page on his website it says “Our goal is to give you peace of mind”. His definition of peace of mind must be different than mine.
Strange to see all the 5-star reviews considering how we were treated. There are other 1-star reviews in other sites, so we haven’t been the only ones treated this way.

Thought we had a good lawyer. We chose Peter because both my parents and my aunt and uncle chose Peter for their estate planning. With both them claiming to have a good experiences, we reached out to Peter for our planning needs.
Needless to say our experience was not that great. We reached out to his business, talked with someone at the office that ensured us we would get a call back. We waited weeks and never got a call. We followed up with another call and left a voicemail but still no response for weeks. Finally we get a call back from Peter who did apologize for the delay and gave a very reasonable excuse. From there, Peter was happy to work with us. Answered many questions, willing to call with us late at night when my wife and I were both available. Gave us his personal cell phone number. We were ready to move forward. He said that he would send us all the information we would need at the end of our calls to get the process moving forward, and then nothing. No follow up or anything. We waited a week or two and followed up. Called his office and left a voice mail and waited a week. Called his personal cellphone and left a voicemail and waited a week. Never responded.
I understand if some business don't want your business but I'd rather they just tell you than not return your calls. I would think that someone who is family of two of your current customers would give you the decency to say they don't want your business. We were only looking to establish a will and guardianship with future needs for establishing a trust. Nothing incredibly out of their skill sets.
Still leaves me a bit baffled.

Peter handled my mother's estate planning, and I sat in on some of those meetings. I was so impressed with Peter and the whole process that when it came time to do my own planning, choosing a lawyer was a no-brainer. Peter is thorough, covers every possible hypothetical, and is a pleasure to work with.
