5 Important Ways

Hartsfield Law is Different From Traditional Law Firms

  • One point of content

    One & only point of contact

    At Hartsfield Law, I will be your only point of contact. You won’t be passed off to an assistant after our initial contact. When you call, I am the one who will pick up the phone. When you email, I am the one who reads it and responds.

  • Educating you about estate planning & probate

    I want to educate you about the process

    I don’t just draft your documents and tell you to sign here, here and here. The most important job I have is to educate you about estate planning and probate. No two people and no two families are alike. The more you know the better able you are to make good decisions for you and your loved ones.

  • You see fees ahead of time, no hidden fees

    set fees shown to you ahead of time

    You will know from the outset how much it will cost. Billable hour is becoming archaic in the law profession. That’s why I have set fees based on the decisions you make after I educate you about your choices.

  • Getting to know you

    I want to get to know you

    There is absolutely nothing “stuffy” about Hartsfield Law! My goal is to make you feel welcome and comfortable. I like to take the time to get to know you and to learn about your family. That helps me to know how best to assist you in developing your plan.

  • Committed to you and your family

    I am committed to you and your family

    I am committed to what matters to you most – your family. I am devoted to ensuring your family does not collapse upon the disability or passing of a loved one. My hope is to establish a long-term relationship with your family and with you.

Hartsfield Law

HI, I'M PAULA HARTSFIELD

There is an old saying that goes:” What you don’t know can’t hurt you.” WRONG! What you don’t know can definitely hurt you when it comes to protecting yourself and your loved ones. There are so many things that most people are unaware of when it comes to estate planning and incapacity. The law is always changing, and it is vital that you know how it can affect your family. I am always surprised when I hear things like:

  • “Everything is going to my spouse when I die anyway, so why do I need a Will.”
  • “I don’t have to probate my spouse’s Will because it is all going to me anyway”
  • “I don’t have anything so I don’t need a Will.”

Another thing I am surprised about is that so many people fail to plan for the possibility of incapacity or disability. We are living much longer today than anytime in history. As a result, the possibility of incapacity is increasing significantly. It is vital that you arrange to give someone the authority to take care of things for you if you are unable to do it for yourself. Let Hartsfield Law in Tyler, Texas help you.

CLIENT REVIEWS

  •  My husband and I recently married and each have children (5 and 3 respectively all adults) from previous marriages. Having known Paula personally for several years, she was our number #1choice for future planning (wills, Health Directives, etc). Throughout the process, she made us feel so comfortable and answered all of our questions. I can honestly say, I can sleep better at night knowing everything is in writing which will ease the burden for our children to carry out our future and final wishes. Thanks Paula! 

    Susan
  •  My husband, Rich, and I needed a last will and testament. We had procrastinated for years. For that reason, we engaged the services of a qualified estate –planning Attorney, Paula Hartsfield. After conferring with us, Paula Hartsfield prepared and explained each facet of the state plan: Last Will, Power of Attorney, and Medical advance Directives, to ensure our desires were known to our children. Paula Hartsfield created a will that fulfilled our goals and wishes in an efficient, timely, and friendly manner. She was fair with her pricing and extravagant with her time. We were impressed with her skilled estate planning and are delighted with outcome. We rest peacefully with the knowledge that a professional lawyer completed our will. The plan (our property, advanced medical decisions, and a named executor) will dissolve disputes with our children and give them peace of mind. Really, that was the long term goal. Paula is professional and a delight! 

    Vicky and Rich

    Daniel
  •  As a nurse I have witnessed families in crisis by not having information concerning medical care and advanced planning directives. Paula Hartsfield worked with me and my husband Terry to make our very important choices legal and documented. We knew we didn’t want our children to argue upon one another in order to carry out our medical choices. I wanted to make it as simple for my children as I could and with Paula’s help there will be no doubt as to my wishes. Thank you Paula.

  •  Paula is passionate about the services she offers her clients. She handled my mother's probate for us. She did such a good job that I referred a close friend and my sister to her when they needed their Estates Planned and their Wills done. We've been putting it off for years but I finally got around to having her do my wife's and mine Wills and Estate plan. Paula once told me she considers each client as family. You can't go wrong with that.

Paula is able to explain terms in easy to understand language, eager to answer all questions, and honest in helping to make good decisions; and it's all done in a very comfortable setting. We feel very confident in her work and were impressed with her efficiency.
