Bloom Gates Shipman & Whiteleather LLP - Columbia City, Indiana

I was named an executor to an estate and I'll tell you it's very confusing... I had a consultation with Mr.Shipman with questions and concerns. Matt made us feel comfortable with the entire process. The team worked diligently and made sure all the steps were taking to get everything set up. They handled all the paperwork and walked me through what I needed to do. A daunting situation for us was actually made very easy with Matt's guidance and expertise. I trust Matt because I've worked with him in the past on other legal matters. I definitely recommend Matt and his team to anyone needing legal services. Thank you Mr Shipman!!

We used Bloom, Gates, Whiteleather, and Shipman for our parent’s estate. Estate was a simple one, but this firm was fantastic through the process. Kept us informed and were super to work with.

I received a phone call from you on April 12, 2023, regarding my consent for a family member who retained your services to handle the estate of another family member. On May 30, 2024, I received an email stating that I owe $269.50 for the phone call. I did not initiate the phone call, nor was I informed that I would be responsible for the cost. The email also mentioned multiple attempts to reach out to me regarding this bill, which is incorrect as the email was the first communication I received. I promptly paid the bill in full upon receipt of the email.

Subsequently, on June 4, I received my second letter in 2 days, and it was dated May 15 for the same bill. To ensure timely delivery of future correspondence, I kindly request that bills be mailed promptly after they are generated.

In light of the aforementioned circumstances, I kindly request that you cease and desist from sending further notices regarding this matter and maybe hire competent staff.

Your done.

Had two family members die and had wills through these socialist and went through them with
Those family members prior to their deaths and then both times when things were down to the wire these people talked them into being changed at a time when they could no longer take care of themselves and felt intimidated to do so by the advice given by these punks and when I lived 1200miles away I was not informed of changes so not to interfere as I understand it with what would make it easier others. Well I'm back as I said would be. Let's dance.

I can't speak on everyone that works here but as for Liz Deckard, you're better off throwing your money in a trash can, waiting a couple years for it to mature and then digging through the city dump to find it. She won't return your messages, you will almost always and only speak to her secretary and she can turn a simple cut and dried resolve into a 2 year long wait. I've never seen such service from a "professional" and wouldn't recommend her to anyone. Of course, this was just my experience with her but it showed me all that I need to know. The fact that they staff her here, again, tells me all I need to know about the rest of them.

This law firm has a partner that is also on the Whitley County school board...and misused his law firm to intimidate and go after a parent expressing valid concerns with the county's mask enforcement not being applied uniformly. Let that sink in for a moment...

They have a lawyer that works there that is also on the school board. He likes to harass parents that voice concerns at the school board meetings. If you're looking for scummy lawyers look no further.

I have had excellent service from Mr. Bloom, Mr. Gates, Mr. Shipman, and Mr. Whiteleather. I would highly recommend them to anyone for any type of law, especially business law.
