Timothy Acker Attorney

I am a CA atty. When our mother passed, my brother and I hired Mr. Acker to handle the WA probate. The estate was small, and the legal matters were straightforward and basic, i.e., providing notice to creditors, and drafting and recording Executor’s Deeds re our mother’s 1/2 community interest in two WA properties. Mr. Acker’s drafts of the deeds were extremely unprofessional – grammatically poor and riddled with typos. I ended up redrafting both deeds to correct the mistakes. When time came to record the deeds, I didn’t hear from him for many weeks. He finally responded by claiming the post office lost the deeds. I found Mr. Acker to be pompous, arrogant and primarily lazy. Payment for his “work” was $4,000, well over the $2500 he quoted for a basic probate. Be careful when you talk to him on the phone, he likes to engage in extraneous conversation, but you will pay for it.
