Exceptional Tax and Estate Guidance with Decades of Experience

I engaged David Hull of Smith Hulsey & Busey to assist with a complex estate planning matter that involved significant tax implications for my family's business. With over four decades of practice, his depth of knowledge was immediately apparent. He expertly navigated the interplay between Florida trust law and federal tax regulations, a nuanced area where his recognition by Best Lawyers, including the 2020 Lawyer of the Year award, is clearly well-deserved. David’s strategic advice was not only legally sound but also practical, focusing on long-term family harmony and asset preservation. His counsel felt grounded in a lifetime of experience, and his calm, methodical approach provided immense reassurance during a stressful process. The final plan he crafted is comprehensive and gives us great confidence. If I had one minor critique, it would be that response times to non-urgent emails could occasionally be a day or two slower than ideal, likely due to his demanding caseload. However, this is a small consideration when weighed against the exceptional quality of his work. For anyone in Northeast Florida needing sophisticated guidance in tax, trusts, or estates, David J. Hull is a formidable and highly recommended attorney.
