Folks...the issue here is not a house closing. As it pertains to Estate planning, you will be dealing with differnet lawyers, different staff ....its like comparing apples and oranges.
We also were puzzled about going the BIG firm or the small firm. What we decided was when all is said and done, when we (or someone in our estate plan) would need these services, the small sole proprietor type lawyer would most likely be retired and you dont know who you would be dealing with. At least now we can hopefully develop a relationship with people that will be around in XX years.
Like i said its all a personal decision..but dont compare what happened on a house closing (good or bad) to the Estate planning side or ANY large law firm. They are practically separate and apart from each other.
