I needed to handle a probate issue and I contacted Bill McQueen. He introduced me to Nicole Bell. I filled out a form, provided some documents and Nicole walked me through the process which could not have been easier for me. The matter was completed quickly without any problems. Nicole was professional and gracious. Thank you to Bill and Nicole for a wonderful experience through a difficult time of losing a family member.

We needed a comprehensive estate plan for my family and business. Bill McQueen and his staff did a fantastic job. They were quick, easy to understand, extremely professional and easy to work with. I would highly recommend Legacy Protection Lawyers. In addition, we now have in place a very comprehensive buy/sell agreement that is easy to understand and complete. Our experience with Bill and his staff have been exceptional.

Excellent advice, highly professional, courteous and efficient.

Our family, including our sons and daughter were all able to complete a high quality, comprehensive estate plan with Legacy Lawyers for all children and Grandchildren....exceptional

I had been procrastinating on revising my family trust for 15 years. My previous experience with another firm was Unremarkable. Four months ago, I was introduced to Bill and his firm. He is OUTSTANDING! I found him to be extremely thorough. From the start we felt at ease, finding him extremely easy to talk to .He explains things completely, and nothing falls through the cracks. I cannot say enough about him and his practice. I recommend him without reservation.

We came in for advice and guidance and Bill and the team listened and made suggestions that met our specific needs, we ultimately went forward with there suggestions. Very comfortable in recommending Legacy as attorneys to draw up trust and provide insight on wealth management thru the trust.

I highly recommend Bill and Legacy for your family Trust work.
The attention to every detail is covered, even the ones that we did not think of ourselves. Outstanding product and extremely professional.
Highly recommend Legacy.

I want to personally recognize the quality and timely service my family received from Legacy Protection, specifically Bill McQueen and Nicole Bell. I highly recommend them for all estate planning.

Legacy Protection quickly unraveled a complicated estate and tax planning mistake by a different law firm and helped resolve the matter completely. They turned frustration into relief. Thank you. In my own consultancy service I recommend them to all my clients who have need of legal help.

It was a pleasure working with Attorney McQueen and Nicole Murphy. My husband and I both feel very comfortable that everything will go smoothly, when the times comes.

I have worked with Bill McQueen and his team for several years.
They are absolute professionals in every aspect of your trust and estate planning. The level of service and expertise is superb, from Bill himself, to every member of his support staff.
I give them my highest recommendation as they are the zenith of their profession. Thank you again Legacy Team.

My wife and I sold our business last year and were referred to Legacy and Bill McQueen from our financial advisor. Bill and his staff were very informative, helpful and very patient with us. We had multiple questions, had multiple meeting, and never felt we were being "nickeled and dimed". After several meeting we got everything set up to our satisfaction and very pleased with the service and attention we got from Bill and his staff. Highly recommended, without hesitation!

Our family found Legacy Protection Lawyers to be most helpful, professional, knowledgeable, and Nicole Bell was a pleasure to work with. We had to make changes to the family Trust that had been unethically changed by my mother's then financial adviser and another law firm. Changing the Trust back to its original set up was met with resistance and uncooperation from them, yet Nicole Bell handled this with utmost professionalism making the stressful situation a rather smooth transition for us. Our family did not have a lot of knowledge on Trusts, but Nicole was able to clearly explain everything to us. It was a pleasure to do business with Nicole and Legacy Protection Lawyers; we highly recommend them.

The Five Star rating for Legacy Protection Lawyers is well deserved based on our experience. My husband and I went to Bill McQueen and LPL to review a years-old set of estate documents. We soon realized the value of Biill’s counsel as he walked us through the myriad of details necessary to protect our estate and ensure that our wishes would survive our deaths. From the titling of our assets to tax considerations we now feel that we have maximized the preservation and dispensation of our assets. Bill handled everything including checking titles, contacting our investors for proper survivorship wording to ensure asset protection. The “protection” part of the company name rings true. Discussing wills is not a process that anyone enjoys but in the hands of LPL, we were adroitly led to a final estate plan that ensures our assets will be preserved and our wishes will be completed after we are gone. It was the responsible thing to do. When we are gone our estate can be easily dispersed exactly as we intended with no hardship to those we love. After working hard our entire lives to create an estate, the last think we want is to leave to it to be diminished through the messy, lengthy, and uncertain probate process. And LPL will contact us wth any changes in the law that we may need to address and we are always free to contact Bill with any questions or concerns. Absolutely a Five Star experience.

After my uncle passed away in Florida, I needed help with how to manage his estate from Tennessee and contacted Legacy protection lawyers. Working with Nicole Bell was a wonderful experience. She was knowledgeable, quick to respond to all of my questions and guided me through the process with ease. Highly recommend!

Legacy Protection Lawyers did an excellent job providing us with piece of mind in making sure that what we've worked hard for is protected. Mr. William Battle McQueen, esq. provided us all of the answers to our many questions and made sure we had a solid Estate Plan in place. With both my husband and myself in the medical field, we needed and were afforded the time necessary to thoroughly parse through and understand all the legal jargon and documents. This is the first time in our estate planning experiences that we felt confident that everything is now in place. Thank you to Bill and to your staff. We will highly recommend your expertise to family and friends. We are so glad we found you!

Everyone requires peace of mind with financial & estate planning problems. Small to large. My husband, who was a law professor, and I through research, found Bill McQueen, and Nicole Bell, LEGACY PROTECTION LAWYERS, downtown St. Petersburg, Fl. We always received expert and up-to-date advice and answers. Bill McQueen & Nicole Bell are an incredible team. After my husband's death, I truly thank Nicole for her patience & time spent working with me on so many details. Also, extremely high accolades to Katie who spent many hours with me when I began my journey into estate planning & to the entire staff at LEGACY PROTECTION LAWYERS. I must add. I'm not one for writing reviews unless something really spectacular took place so this review is a very serious recommendation.

Bill McQueen and his staff came highly recommended to us and we were not disappointed. He had our best interest in mind and very familiar with tax law to create an excellent Estate Plan. I have used other Trust/Estate Planning attorneys in the past but there is no comparison. Legacy Protection Lawyers are Simply the Best ..!

We have just recently updated our trusts due to the new tax law. Bill McQueen did the work. We are very satisfied with the quality and completeness of the work. Bill McQueen is a pleasure to work with.

Bill McQueen and his team were wonderful to work with. Comprehensive, insightful, creative and professional, Bill’s clients receive the benefits from his experience as a CPA, small business owner, and as an attorney. Complementing his professional knowledge and experience, Bill is one of the most genuine and sincere people you may ever meet. Everyone we have referred to Legacy Protection Lawyers has had great experiences as well.

I have known Bill McQueen for over 30 years and fully value his integrity. Bill and team did an excellent job updating my family trust and will. They are on top of current tax law and do a great job explaining complex estate planning issues.

As complicated as estate planning has become, Bill and Nicole were terrific at outlining the different options and giving us the right guidance. Their team made the entire process as efficient and painless as possible and it is nice to know we have these experts on our side when we need them!

I cannot say enough about the way the formation of our trust was handled by Bill McQueen and members of Legacy Protection Lawyers for Dick and me. Everything was clearly explained step-by-step and it was a very secure feeling knowing everything was handled right. I will recommend LPL to anyone looking at forming a trust. Thank-you Bill, Katie and Nicole!

We moved from Maryland to Florida six years ago. We had previously had a comprehensive estate plan in place, but there are regulations specific to Florida that Bill and his staff, especially Nicole Bell, were able to identify and dramatically improve our plan. In addition, they brought insights on procedural matters that have brought us a greater peace of mind. We review our estate plans every five years and will definitely be using Legacy Protection Lawyers again.

We were extremely satisfied with the level of knowledge, expertise, and service. Everything was explained and thoroughly reviewed. We are now very comfortable knowing that our estate documents are set and complete down to the last detail!

We have used Bill and his firm on numerous occasions. We are a Wealth Management company and are glad to introduce our clients to Bill. I know they are going to be treated very well and will receive the expertise they deserve. We have been very pleased with Bill and have also used him for our personal estate plan as well.

Bill and his team were very professional and thorough. They facilitated with ease a relatively complex trust and estate program that was customized down to the minute details. The process that they took my wife and I through was thorough and, most importantly, they made it understandable. Their knowledge of trust and estate laws, including keeping current relative to the incremental tax changes experienced, demonstrated their expertise and proficiency. Their efforts, work ethic and moral compass through the whole process were impeccable. Simply put, my wife and I left extremely comforted to know that our sons' and their companies, endeavors and lives will be looked after by the McQueen "family" at Legacy Protection Lawyers.

I have had the pleasure of working with Legacy Protection Lawyers recently and not only are they incredibly knowledgeable but their professionalism is second to none!

Bill McQueen and the superb team at Legacy Protection Lawyers are not only extremely knowledgeable and professional, but also pleasurable to work with. We first engaged Bill to help prepare our will. We are currently working with him on a business matter. His competency in both areas of the law and accounting make him unique in his field.

I had talked to several professionals to help me figure out my trusts, will, etc.,and spent thousands. Bill McQueen was referred to me from a friend. Bill actually created a flowchart of "if this, than that" scenarios which made it crystal clear,...finally! I am forever grateful and I have true piece of mind now. He was affordable and frankly I got far more value for his services than the fees.

Bill McQueen is building the "go-to" firm for all matters regarding estates and planning. As most people know, estate planning can be very complicated, but Bill and his team take the time to break it down and make it understandable.

Legacy Protection Lawyers is THE best place to obtain all your estate planning documents. Attorney William B. McQueen and Attorney Nicole S. Bell are true experts in the field. They completed nine, high quality legal estate planning documents for my spouse and I each. Paralegal Nicole Murphy and the entire LPL staff were always available, friendly and resourceful. Their website provided very useful information regarding services, estate planning and contacts.

We recently used Nicole Bell from Legacy Protection Lawyers to update our estate documents. We chose them because we knew Katie Holt. Katie always communicated with us promptly each time we reached out to her. Nicole was patient in answering any questions or concerns that we had about our documents. Nicole and Katie were professional from beginning to end. We have peace knowing that our documents are up to date if anything happens to us and that our daughter will be in excellent hands.

Prior to working with Legacy Protection Lawyers, I've had to deal with my mother's estate lawyer. It was a difficult experience that left me with a sour taste when it comes to estate lawyers. However, hiring Legacy Protection Lawyers changed my view. They were friendly and professional from the moment I contacted them. Nicole Bell walked me through the process in detail. She was extremely knowledgeable and very patient with all of my questions. She indicated that there was a set fee and any further contacts regarding my trust would not result in any extra fees. I've contacted her numerous times since then with questions and she has responded immediately, and no extra fees! The entire experience has been extremely positive. I would highly recommend them.

Legacy Protection Lawyers helped with our estate plans and our asset protection needs. They were very detailed oriented and so responsive. I felt very comfortable asking all of my questions and the attorneys were very knowledgeable on each of the topics that we discussed. I truly felt I was in good hands no matter who I was working with on the team.

Bill and his team were professional and very well prepared. Bill's explanation of all issues were easy to understand. He was very thorough and up to date with any issues that may arise regarding your estate in today's world. We feel very comfortable that we have all our bases covered to make it easier for our daughters. The book we received at the end was very organized and makes it easy for us to reference any questions we may have. We would highly recommend Legacy Protection Lawyers.

Bill and his team provided excellent service in constructing our family trust. He was incredibly patient while explaining the benefits and hurdles of our strategy; proposed thoughtful alternatives; and was timely in the delivery of the final product. His team was courteous, responsive and have provided excellent followup. I highly recommend Legacy Protection Lawyers for your estate planning needs. I can’t imagine a friendlier, responsive, or capable firm in Tampa Bay.

After my father passed away, I needed to hire an attorney to advocate for me because there was a dispute regarding his estate. Nicole Bell, of Legacy Protection Lawyers, was recommended, and am so grateful I hired her. She ran circles around the other attorneys, as she is smart, professional, responsive, caring, and guided me through an intricate web of Estate Law and Court Proceedings. Today I am satisfied that my Father's wishes have been honored, and am so grateful to her for that. I am writing this review to recommend Nicole unequivocally.

I have been a lawyer for over 35 years and while I don't know much about estate planning, I know good lawyering from bad, and from start to finish Nicole Bell did some fantastic work for me and my wife. She thoroughly explained a lot of complicated concepts and prepared all of the necessary paperwork all within the budget she gave me at the outset. As important, she was persistent in following up to make sure that we did all that we needed to do in order to implement the plan that she put together for us. We could not have been happier.

Six years ago my best friend suddenly and unexpectedly passed. Unfortunately, he did not have his estate in order which compounded the heartache and grief his parents' experienced. I told myself then I would get my estate in order, but I didn’t have a plan nor a legal firm to assist me. Fortunately, my financial advisor and good friend recommended Bill McQueen and Legacy Protection Lawyers, LLP to me. Bill McQueen and his team provided me with exceptional service leading me thru the estate planning process. Now I can rest easy knowing I have a solid Trust and Will to protect all that I have worked hard to achieve and to provide for my loved ones. Bill and his team are the utmost professionals being compassionate, diligent, courteous, and easily accessible. I look forward to working with Bill and his team in the future and I absolutely will recommend them.

Brad of Clearwater, FL

. Bill McQueen and his staff were exceptional in preparing my Will and Trust documents so my children and grandchildren will be protected and not have to deal with anything at the time of my death. Following my mother's death I had great difficulty getting the banks handling her trusts to work with me. Upon contacting Bill everything just seamlessly moved along. Bill took such a burden off me at such a trying time. Bill's education and training definitely makes him the best in town. He is a CPA, attorney, funeral director and has a masters in tax. He uses all that knowledge, talent and experience to provide his clients with exceptional service.

Bill and his team were extremely helpful in dealing with my father’s estate. They were able to answer all my questions and provided valuable advice. I will certainly use their services in the future.

Last year it was suggested to me that I should have my legal documents reviewed by an estate attorney. I was very fortunate to have chosen Bill McQueen of Legacy Protection Lawyers. It has been a pleasure to work with Bill as I have immeasurable confidence in his knowledge and I greatly appreciate his advice. Knowing my documents are now legally correct gives me great peace.
Congratulations to Bill for being one of only a few estate attorneys to attain Board certification in Wills and Trusts.

We had the best experience with Bill Mcqueen at Legacy Protection Lawyers. I can't say enough about his professionalism and helpful information. Although we really needed an elder attorney, he gave us lots
of tips and information and recommended an attorney who was more appropriate for what we needed. He took at least an hour of his time to listen and make suggestions. A very caring place and totally professional! I can't say enough good things about this group!

When my mother passed away last yea I was overwhelmed with the estate process. An additional complication was the handling of a divided inheritance of a farm in Illinois. Bill helped me navigate through the pressing maters while I was grieving the loss of my mom. He was always professional and thoughtful in my time of need.

I met Bill McQueen during a financial and estate planning seminar at USF St. Pete. He was so knowledgeable that, two years later, I sought him out. I was finally ready to create an estate plan and he was my first and only choice. I had since moved to Jacksonville, FL, but he worked with me to explain everything. After connecting over the phone and via email, I knew my choices as well as his recommendations. At that point, it was a seamless process of reviewing the documents and coming down to St. Pete for the signing. If you are working with him remotely, you can sign the papers near you, but I highly recommend going to his office. Bill and his team went through every document and left me with clear instructions. I couldn't be happier with my experience with Legacy Protection Lawyers. I will continue to use them for all my estate needs going forward.

Kim and I needed a comprehensive estate plan for our family. After much procrastination (its not fun thinking about this) we hired Bill. Bill and his staff did a fantastic job. They were quick and easy to understand. After we had the estate plan finished it took us 2 years to finally take the time to implement it. Bill and his staff where very gracious to reacquaint us with the orginal plan . They also help us implement it. I would highly recommend Legacy Protection Lawyers.

We recently had Legacy Protection Lawyers revise our estate documents. We met with partner, Bill McQueen who listened to our goals, explained various options to attain those goals, reviewed the pros and cons and made his recommendations. Based on the outcome of these conversations, Bill sent us a proposed cost and attorney Nicole Bell quickly prepared the documents. After a few edits we were in business. The firm prepared an easily understood summary and we met with Bill once more for him to go over the documents before signing. He volunteered to meet with our beneficiaries to make sure everyone understood the documents. We were very pleased with our experience with Legacy Protection Lawyers. They are very knowledgeable, professional, efficient and their charges were fair. They are very involved in the community. We have already referred a good friend.

Nicole did a fantastic job helping me with my trust planning needs. I would highly recommend her and Legacy Protection Lawyers.

Bill and Nicole and their team treat you like you are their only client! Lots of personal attention to the little details! They specialize in Estate Planning so you can be sure your questions will be answered on even the most complicated estates! I highly reccomend them to all of my clients!

My wife and I were extremely pleased with Legacy's entire team. Their knowledge, professionalism, patience....We got a complete package for our estate planning and Nicole Bell was especially nice to deal with. Highly recommend LPL.

Awesome experience working with Bill McQueen. He exceeded my expectations in knowledge, ease of understanding a complicated transaction, patience and turn around time. I highly recommend both Bill and Legacy Protection Lawyers!

I am completely satisfied with my experience with Legacy Protection Lawyers and would recomend them to anyone!

My husband and I are extremely pleased with the services we received at Legacy Protection Lawyers. Nicole is very detail oriented and answered all our questions in a very kind and timely fashion. We highly recommend!!

Jay and his entire team are excellent to work with. They were always there to answer any questions i had about my case and kept me updated every step of the way. I couldnt have asked for a better team to be on my case. I highly recommend them!

EXCELLENT LAWYERS

We hired Jay after interviewing 12 other attorneys. We had a good feeling about Jay right away and knew he had many years of expertise and knowledge litigating trusts. Our case was very complicated and Jay was there every step of the way. When an obstacle in our case arose, Jay always figured out a solution. He is an excellent estate litigation and estate-planning attorney. Jay is professional, efficient, compassionate, accessible, hard working, and anticipates issues before they arise. His staff is courteous and very helpful. We were extremely pleased with the outcome of our case. We are so happy we chose Jay as our attorney. I would highly recommend him.

Mary, Clearwater - April 5, 2019

. Jay and his team were excellent in all aspects of my trust case. Jay was prompt on returning my calls and answering all of my questions, keeping me updated at all times and fighting for my sisters and I to win a trust case that seemed hopeless to win. I would recommend Jay to anyone who needs someone to care and fight for them with professionalism, dignity and grace.

The team at Legacy Protection Lawyers provided the knowledge and attention to detail to help me develop a trust solution that met my needs. Thanks to Bill McQueen and his staff for their exceptional personal service.

After hitting a brick wall with my parents estate I turned to Bill McQueen and his incredible assistants Nicole Bell and Nicole Murphy. From day one they took the reins and I felt as if a tremendous weight was lifted off my shoulders. They kept me informed with all the issues and progress as we went along. I can't say enough good things about their professionalism and caring manner. They are my law firm from now on. Thank you so much for all you did!

Bill McQueen, Nicole Murphy, and Nicole Bell are an awesome team. Professionalism, promptness, courteous, compassion, and knowledge are their strong suits. I'm happy my momma engaged and trusted them which led me to do the same. During a difficult and emotional time, they were patient in guiding me through the necessary steps. They come highly recommended originally from my momma...and now from me. Who's gonna argue with momma?!?!? Thank you to the Legacy Protection team for all you do!

Bill and his team did a great job with my wife and I's wills. They were very professional and had everything in order right away. We had a wonderful experience with Legacy!

I've had the pleasure of working with Bill McQueen and his team on behalf of my client as a Family Office Manager. The quality of every interaction is consistent in the promptness of response, the depth of Knowledge and expertise, and an immense satisfaction knowing that Bill has a tremendous understanding of my client's issues and concerns. His ability to preempt issues and be strategic in addressing these has helped us stay ahead of the curve ball. Katie and Nicole on his team are most personable and so very helpful! My client and I are delighted to be working with Bill McQueen.

This experience and attention to detail has made me feel as though for the first time in my life that my estate is going to be handled with perfection. I highly reccommend getting your legacy protected by the BEST in the industry...Bill McQueen along with his support staff have exceeded our expectations! A wonderful group of true professionals! And we just love Katie H.

When my husband died I had no clue what to do. The one thing he always told me when he passed was to call Bill McQueen immediately. My husband had been in business for over 40 years in St. Pete and I figured he knew what he was talking about. Legacy Protection Lawyers did everything they could, and more, to help me with every detail. They were so kind and attentive and were never to busy to talk me thru whatever I needed. I could never thank them enough for their kindness and patience. They are truly my BFF's..

Best Estate Planning Lawyer Around
We hired Bill after interviewing 4 attorneys in St. Petersburg. We found Bill to be the most competent, compassionate, understanding and efficient. In addition to being an excellent estate counsel, he’s also an excellent accountant and this combination is crucial for proper estate counsel. He’s very accessible, anticipates issues before they arise. It was a complicated estate which he guided us through with ease. We were so pleased with his services that we hired him for our estate preparation. Bill also employs a staff that match his high standards. Both his assistants and paralegals were excellent and very personable. I’d hire him again (and again) without hesitation. Thanks Bill!
