Smoky Hicks
Atlanta, GA
“In that one seldom gets the opportunity to correspond with an author I would like to take this opportunity and say that after considerable personal research and legal fees your book is by far the best investment I’ve made and has been helpful beyond description. It is the only coherent, organized source available and has made clear to me (but maybe not the attorneys) that there are a number of areas where there is no law and common practice and that at best chaos reigns.”
James C. Spinks, Realtor
Tulsa, OK
“This book is excellent and one every attorney who advises clients regarding their estate plan should have close at hand.”

Scott
“It really is the “Bible” of attorneys advising folks who have retirement accounts. When I’m trying to convince some recalcitrant institution to do what I want for a client, usually all I have to do is say, “Well, according to Choate’s book…” and I get what I want.””
H. Amos Goodall, Jr., CELA
“I have found your book very useful and informative”
