Trusts and Estates
I work with the Jolly Law Firm after the death of my parents and they were extremely understanding, helpful, professional and friendly. I cannot say enough about how much they helped me during the past two years. They are a first-rate firm. John Jolly and Tracey Mattingly, along with the rest of the staff we're always there when I needed them. I would recommend them highly.

Trusts and Estates
I live in Alabama; my mother lived on Hilton Head Island for almost 50 years until her death in 2020. As John Jolley had prepared my mother’s will and pour-over trust, I felt comfortable asking him to help me with probating her estate - from afar. It was a great decision! Everyone at Jolley Law Group was knowledgeable, friendly, and professional. They responded to my many questions patiently, quickly, and thoroughly. John and his paralegal, Kathy Brown, made the process easy for me and closed my mother’s estate more quickly than expected. I would feel very confident in referring Jolley Law Group to any and all. In fact, I have sung their praises to many of my mother’s friends on the Island. I am grateful to them for making a difficult time far easier than it could have been.
