I was referred to Nick by a family member. One of the best decisions I made. Nick was extremely helpful in setting up a Trust for my estate and everything else that goes with that. I highly recommend giving Nick a call to assist with a trust, will, power of attorney, etc.

We were fortunate enough to be recommended to Nick for assistance in our estate planning process.

Nick was recommended to me by another estate attorney after mine retired and I'm very happy I decided to work with him. He is so pleasant and easy to work with, prompt in his communication, fair in his pricing and very patient which was especially important to me since I asked a lot of questions and changed my mind several times about the amendments I wanted to make to my trust. I never felt pressured or rushed by him. His office also comes with ample, free parking which is a bonus. I would recommend Nick without reservation to anyone with estate planning needs.

Mr. Villa was very helpful in assisting me deal with my estate planning He answered many questions I had and is very easy to talk to about a difficult subject. He is responsive in returning phone calls and emails and has convienent locations . He walked me through the whole process and I would highly recommend him.

Very pleasant to work with, took the time to explain the things I needed explaining, and really just took care of everything I needed. A pleasure to work with, no complaints.

My wife and I would like to thank Nick Villa for the kind and professional way he treated us, and the needs we entrusted him to do for us. My experience with attorneys in Central Illinois has been detestable. I decided to get out of the “good ol’ boys network” and find a caring attorney--Nick Villa! Mr. Villa has a busy practice, yet he made himself available to us for a free introductory phone call. I was told to make a $350.00 appointment by another firm that boasted of many years of service, to see if we would be a good fit for their business. I declined. Nick on the other hand made weekly phone meetings and regular emails. He finished the trust in a timely fashion and we drove up to the Chicago area to sign the documents. To anyone who is considering or needs a Living Trust or has an Estate need I strongly recommend Attorney Nick Villa. We were treated like valued clients and the four-hour round-trip drive was well worth the time to be treated professionally. M. Morales

Mr. Villa was recommended to us by multiple friends & co-workers to help with our will & trust plan for our family. He was extremely knowledgeable and helpful at answering all our questions. The process was seamless and he worked quite quickly to ensure we got everything we needed in a timely fashion. Would certainly recommend!

Choosing Nick Villa as our estate planning attorney was the best decision ever! Nick provided exceptional service; his expertise, professionalism, and attention to detail were evident throughout the entire process. Nick’s clear communication, flexibility, and ability to explain complex legal concepts in simple terms was incredibly helpful in navigating the complexities of creating a will and estate trust for our elderly mother. Nick is easy to work with and offers affordable pricing. He will definitely be our family's go-to person for all future estate planning and real estate matters. I highly recommend his services for anyone seeking a knowledgeable and trustworthy attorney.

We retained Mr. Villa's services for an Estate and Trust plan for our family. He was extremely knowledgeable and patient with all of our questions and concerns. After experiencing his professionalism and attention to detail we then hired Nick to represent us in the selling of our old house and purchase of our new home that was pending on a contingency. Nick made sure we were protected in every way from delays or extra fees. I highly recommend his services as he is the best in putting his clients needs first and puts our worries at ease. Thank you Nick!

Nick Villa was recommended by an old friend. We were wanting to set up the family trust and will. Nick took his time to explain all that was needed to be done. Explained everything so that we understood what was involved. He even came to our home and explained everything to my dad in Spanish. Dad really appreciated him for doing so. Any time a question came up he always responded in a timely manner. Very nice, professional great to work with. Totally recommend Nick! Thank so Much!!!

Working with Nick to set up our family trust and wills was affordable, quick, and painless. Nick walked us through each step of the process and explained everything clearly so we knew exactly what we were signing and what it meant for our family. He even came to our house for the signing to make our lives easier. We're grateful to have found him and to have had his expertise helping us through this unglamorous but important process.

From the initial consultation to the finalization of the paper work, Nick was superb. He’s very personable and professional. When my elderly mother needed help on how to create a will and trust after my father passed away, Nick expertly guided us and even made at-home visits. From creation of a trust to power of attorney to house ownership transfer, he provided an affordable solution. This is an important process that few people look forward to doing, but Nick made it far easier to handle than ever imagined.

I would definitely be working with attorney Villa again and highly recommend him to anyone looking into writing their living trust.

Hello, My name is Mike U. My mom passed away in Jan. 2022 leaving no will pertaining her estate. My brother passed away shortly after. My family had many questions of how to proceed with such a complicated case. Then, I found Nick's page on Google. What a blessing it was! Nick was able to answer all of our questions (there were many). Nick was prompt in response, patient in his demeanor, professional and affordable. We we're able to pull the pieces together as a family in a fairly short time. I would highly classify Nick as a genuine nice guy who cares for people and their families. Thank you again Nick! Mike U

Mom was in need of an Estate Planning attorney when I came across Nick’s page. Turns out he’s also a real estate attorney and quite a terrific one! He took care of both the sale of my house and purchase of my new one with such ease and professionalism that I went to the closing completely confident it would go without a hitch. His professional demeanor and candor made these transactions seem easy and they were not. Several unforeseen factors were at play and he handled the situations with such tact and aplomb that I have to strongly recommend him for your real estate needs and he is exceptionally well versed in English and Spanish! He’s SUPERB and IMPRESSIVE and very easy to understand. THANKS NICK!!

I wanted an attorney that I could trust, feel comfortable, and one who's knowledgeable of wells, living trust, ect, so I called Chicago Bar Association, and they gave me Attorney Nick Villas phone number. I contacted Attorney Villas and very pleased with his services. I differently recommend Attorney Nick Villas because he's an excellent attorney well organized and takeout time explaining the different process accordingly. He makes sure that he meets the needs of his clients with his skillful knowledge and affordable prices.

Simply the best! For setting up our wills and trust, Nick has been extremely responsive and helpful. We couldn't have asked for a better estate attorney -- and one who is bilingual, which may come in handy down the road because our permanent residence is in Latin America. Thanks for your flexibility, Nick. We truly appreciate it.

I am 59 years old and felt the need to have my Last Will be made. I googled Estate Planning lawyers near me and Atty. Villa caught my attention. He was prompt in replying to my message and set-up a date for initial counseling. I discussed to him what I wanted. I never knew that there are other things beside creating a Last Will in doing Estate Planning. For my case, Atty. Villa suggested creating a Revocable Living Trust; Pour-Over Will; Power of Attorney for Property and Power of Attorney for Health. Also, Atty. Villa did all the necessary documents for transferring real and personal property to trust. I don’t know anyone could be as thorough and clear as Atty. Villa. Before signing, he explained each document clearly and and most importantly explained it in layman’s term. Each document consists of several pages, yet Atty. Villa discussed and explained in detail what each document stipulated. He welcomed and answered any questions in mind. I felt so relieved knowing that everything is in place. I could not thank enough Atty. Villa for everything done. I truly appreciate you, Atty. Villa - Thank you!

Nick was a life saver and was able to get my small estate affidavit issue with a financial institution resolved quickly. I highly recommend Nick. Thank you Nick!!

Nick Villa was there when I needed him! Nick prepared will and trust agreement for a dear friend who had asked me to be her trustee. Nick's assistance in handling the estate was invaluable and always clear and concise. Eventually, he represented the estate in the sale of real property and made that process as easy as possible. I would highly recommend Nick, not only for his skill as an attorney but equally for his gentlemanly demeanor, calm approach, and prompt attention to every need for his clients.

I recently went to Mr. Villa to confirm a will that I didn't understand. After reviewing I went back the next day. He explained throughly with simplicity, complete knowledge whereas I had a total understanding of all documents. I highly recommend his services & will continue to use him as my attorney. I'm very lucky to have found him.

It’s hard to overstate the importance of estate planning. After my wife and I found out we were pregnant, we started to have a lot of conversations about what to do “if ____.” When we first connected with Nick, it got even easier to have those conversations and to navigate some less-than-fun hypotheticals. Working with Nick was pleasant and swift, and I feel so much relief knowing we have something in please for our child. He knows how to break down complex legal jargon to a point where it’s understandable. I’d recommend Nick to anyone doing estate planning.

I went to Nick because I wanted an estate lawyer in the neighborhood. He explained trusts, wills and beneficiaries and I was surprised at the differences. At the end of the day he provided a 1" stack of documents which included trust, wills, health thingies and more. His dad also has a nice apartment he is remodeling.

I highly recommend Nick. He is efficient and responded to all my emails in a timely manner. Nick did a trust for my mother, and he explained everything clearly. We are very happy with his service, and he is reasonably priced. I will be recommending him to all my friends and family.

Three members of my family put Nick Villa to the test recently. With the creation of several kinds of documents needed for all three plus many questions answered knowledgeably and patiently, Nick passed with flying colors. And all with reasonable flat-rate fees too! He's our go-to lawyer from now on. Thanks Nick!

We are very satisfied with the total experience of creating our living trust. It was easy to communicate with Nick and all documents were professionally prepared and presented.

Nick has been tremendous in assisting my family with the closing not only one but two homes. He was very professional and thorough with us every step of the way. It was nice to know when we were in question about anything, he was just a phone call away. We Definitely, penciled him in for our “go to guy” for any of his services. Thank you again Nick!

I am so pleased that I found Nick for my attorney in November. Deciding to sell my home and close in 6 weeks was a whirlwind. He is professional, kind, knowledgeable , patient, quick to respond and got me through this whirlwind of bittersweet emotions and legally there for me every step of the way. I have met lawyers through my years but Nick is by far the best ever. I am so appreciative and grateful for him and all he did to ease this experience to such a positive result. I would highly recommend him and will be retaining him for my personal needs again for POA papers and will. I may not live on this area now but I will travel to use his services because trust is a major reason and hard to find these days .

Nick is a wonderful person and a great attorney. My wife and I were lucky to find him. We needed to find an attorney familiar with Special Needs Trusts. He communicated with us via Zoom several times about all the details of the SNT. Additionally, when it came time to sign the papers, Nick came to our house. He explained every document we needed to sign and he answered all our questions. Because we were so pleased with Nick's help, we made further arrangements with him to help us establish a guardianship for our son. It is a complicated process. That said, Nick carefully explained the process every step of the way. We are now in the process of arranging my wife to adopt my son. Because we trust Nick, he is going to take care of the adoption as well. Let me add two more things. It is nice to work with an attorney who is so open and personable. But there is something else to say. If you are a parent of a special needs child and you need a SNT or you want to establish a guardianship, Nick is your man! Sam and Debbie Z.

Nick was such a pleasure to work with. We contacted him to help us put together our wills and trust and he could not have made the experience any easier! He explained everything thoroughly and answered all of our questions. We will definitely work with Nick in the future again.

My parents were in search of an attorney that had knowledge with estate planning and spoke Spanish. After speaking with Nick for over an hour I knew that he had the skills and patience to explain the process of creating a trust to my parents. He went to their house and answered all of their questions and concerns thoroughly giving them peace of mind. We highly recommend Nick Villa.

I was matched with Nick via Legal Match after my mother’s estate had been in probate court for several years. Nick eased our stress by providing a clear pathway to resolve the estate along with a manageable payment structure. He was communicative, punctual, and professional with our family while we worked to change executors, close accounts, and create a trust. I am so thankful for Nick’s guidance and professionalism throughout this tough process.

My mother is housebound and Nick came to help her with her trust and will. His communication was excellent, he answered all of her questions. Even with him going to her home for all of it, his prices were more than reasonable. I couldn't have asked for a better lawyer to help her. Don't hesitate, Nick is the lawyer to help you and your family. I will be using him in the future and I highly recommend him.

Nick is very professional and polite. He has his clients best interest at heart.He always followed through on what he said he was going to do. He made sure every thing was accurate and done in a timely manner. I would absolutely recommend Nick to anyone I know looking for a great attorney.My Mother’s real estate transaction went very well thanks to Nick.

Nick is professional, punctual, communicative, and very responsive! My family were pleased with how fast he gets things done. Nick was descriptive and informative when explaining how legal documents function. My mother only spoke Spanish and Nick had no issue communicating with her. He is a fantastic attorney and I appreciate everything he did for us. From the moment we spoke on the phone, I knew Nick was the right attorney to work with. He did not hesitate to help me understand everything I was confused about. He is patient, respectful, and professional. I am happy with how fast and smooth the entire process turned out. Look no further, Nick is a GREAT attorney. Thank you, Nick!

Attorney Villa is a great attorney to work with. He is very professional, polite, patient and knowledgeable. He recently helped draft my trust/will etc. He did this in a very timely manner and explained everything to me every step of the way. I would recommend working with him.

Dominic is very professional. I am very pleased. He listened to all of my concerns and explained everything thoroughly. I highly recommend Dominic.

When our first daughter was born, we thought we could do our will via one of the legal websites on our own. It was confusing and we were never confident we 'did it right' and left her in good hands. Fast forward to our second daughter being born + a global pandemic, we knew we had to take our will/trust seriously. We found Nick through another recommendation and SO GLAD WE DID. Nick explained everything in great detail, listened to our wishes but offered suggestions when we were confused, and kept everything so organized and easy. We now understand exactly what our trust entails and can explain it to our family when it comes to our daughters future. We can't recommend Nick enough, he is top notch and lifted so much weight off our shoulders!

Hands down the BEST attorney I've had the pleasure of working with, look no further for an attorney to go above and beyond. I cannot express enough gratitude for the services Nick provided us with when we sold our home and purchased our forever home! Mr. Villa worked tirelessly to ensure our homebuying and selling process was to our best interests and kept an open line of communication with me almost each and everyday. Hands on Attorney with excellent communications and always courteous and friendly,. I will and would recommend him to anyone for representation.

I was very hesitant to draw up a will/trust, but Nick made it so easy. He explained the procedure in terms that I was familiar with and reassured my decisions that were being made. Nick also just helped me with an unclaimed property issue and the paperwork was done in no time. I would highly recommend Nick to anyone. He is definitely a person that can be trusted. Nick made all my uncertainties disappear. Thank you, Nick!

Nick provided Real Estate attorney services for me and my husband when we were buying our first home. We were very pleased with his services and his support. He helped make a daunting process less scary, and we were able to buy our dream home. 5 stars.

Nick was very helpful in creating our Estate and will. He explained everything along the way and was a pleasure to work with. He was fast to respond and turn around the work.

He helped me get my will and trust in order. He is a notary and can bring a witness if needed. Super nice guy with great calming personality. He even did a home closing for a family member.!

Nick helped us put together our family trust package. He walked us through the whole process. We really enjoyed working with him and would recommend him to anyone interested in estate planning.

Nick did a phenomenal job for us. He worked to set up our trust, will, powers of attorney for medical and financial as well as all the paperwork to get them funded properly. Not only did he do house calls for us (so helpful with small children) but he went the extra mile to hand deliver our documents to the city clerks office in downtown Chicago as well as our local city clerk in our suburb, saving us countless of hours on our end. His customer service and attention to detail is phenomenal and he possesses the highest levels of personal and professional integrity. It’s a great feeling to know that we are prepared ahead of time should something happen to myself or my husband and that if something happens to both of us, our minor children are provided for and taken care of. We highly recommend Nick for all if your estate planning needs.

Nick worked for me on getting my will and medical power of attorney documents done, I’ve been putting it off for couple of years as I thought it would be time consuming and difficult process but I can truly say Nick did the job quickly and made the process extremely easy for me even during this hard times with Covid and all. I will use his services again without doubt and highly recommend him to my friends and family.

I enjoyed working with Nick, he helped us with closing of my dad's estate and closing of the sale of the house. We live out of state, and he went out of his way with different closing of his utilities, bonding certificates, and provided all necessary paperwork needed for this estate closing. Very friendly and I really enjoyed working with him and would hire him again. Thanks Nick for everything....

Nick is wonderful to work with..., smart, friendly, down to earth, very fair with his fees. He oversaw a real estate transaction for me, Nick's attention to detail was amazing, even the title company was impressed. They approached me later and said... most attorneys would have missed that adjustment... your guy is good. I simply said... That's Nick! Next up, I'm going to hire him to update my revocable trust document and will. Thanks again Nick, -Tom

We had a great experience with Nick. He explained every step and the details we needed to provide. He kept in contact with myself and my Dad with any updates or additional questions. Nick was very prompt and professional. This was much better than I expected and reasonably priced. I have referred Nick on Facebook already, it was a must that I provide a glowing review here on Google.

We worked with Nick as first time Estate Plan clients. He was very thorough, quick response and turnaround time, and made sure we felt confident in all of out decisions. Highly recommend if you need an estate lawyer.

I highly recommend you call Nick with Villa Law Firm. It was a great experience and I'll definitely be working with him again. Thanks much! Linda And Lisa Posvech.

I am so glad I found Nick Villa’s Law Firm. He was super helpful with all my questions and concerns. Very knowledgeable, efficient & the most important thing needed for my family - bilingual. Thanks Nick again for everything.

Mr. Villa is the best attorney I have worked with. He was very patient explaining all the details and answering every question before, after and during the process. He has affordable prices and there’s no surprises with him. I have referred all my family and friends to his services. He’s also bilingual which is a BIG plus for me and my family.

Knowing the importance of having a revocable living trust and not just a will to avoid probate, I was searching for an attorney who could explain it better than me to my aging parents. After working their entire lives and only having an elementary education, they have a modest and simple estate. Just a few things of value: their property and their savings. It would be terrible to lose a lot of its value in probate to lawyers and the government. My parents didn’t know and they are limited in their English. So finding an attorney to explain this in Spanish posed a challenge. Just by chance, I was conversing with one of my fellow coworkers about estates and he mentioned that his brother, Dominic Villa, is an estate attorney - that so happens to speak Spanish. We met with Mr. Villa and he calmly and patiently explained what a RLT is and its importance to them in Spanish. He answered all my parents’ questions so there would be no doubt that having one is a must. He drew up the papers and when we came back to sign, he again, patiently explained what each document was for. Mr. Villa’s mannerisms and professionalism are exceptional. He is an attorney that the Spanish speaking community needs to safeguard our assets and estates. Many families with modest means need to set up RLTs and they don’t even realize it. I hope this review speaks to them so they can pass on their valuables down to their loved ones without worry or complications. Mr. Villa has the years of experience with the professionalism and empathy to make the process as smooth as possible. We highly recommend him and his services. Thank you again, Nick, we sincerely appreciate you!

Mr. Villa educated me very well on the pro's and con's of creating a trust. He wrote up all the required documents to create a trust very fast. He took care of the submission of these documents. My wife and I had nothing to fill out and nothing to submit or file. He took care of everything for us. His honorarium was very affordable and he didn't "nickel and dime" us. If you look for legal services to create a trust, look no further. Mr. Villa is excellent. He has my full endorsement.

Nick Villa is a kind, caring, and professional attorney. He answered all my questions regarding setting up my trust. He wrote up the documents, and I received them in a timely manner. His fees were reasonable and not outrageous. I would recommend Nick Villa.

My wife and I were looking for a attorney to help us set up a "Trust". We wanted someone local, in the area. After meeting Nick the first time we knew we had our lawyer. Genuine, sincere, knowledgeable and patient. He took the time to answer all our question, made us comfortable through the whole process and made sure we fully understood. Since then Nick has worked with us to purchase property and give advise in other matters. He'll will be used in all our future endeavors that pertain to his field of expertise. Thank you Nick!

My wife and I needed a revocable trust. We found Dominick’s business listing on the internet. He was located near our neighborhood which was important to me. He was very quick to respond to my email and subsequent texts and phone calls. He was extremely patient with us as he answered our questions while educating us about the revocable trust. Dominick was very professional and had a good sense of humor.His pricing was very fair and his product was excellent. I would, absolutely, recommend him to my friends and family. It was a very smooth transaction.
