He is exactly what you want in an attorney. He handled matters quickly and efficiently. Kept me informed, and answered all questions so I could understand what was happening. He was a "Angel" working on my behalf. I highly recommend him if you need Estate Planning, Probate or Trust matters taken care of. If I could give him more "stars" I would. He's the BEST! Once again…I HIGHLY RECOMMEND ATTY. TOUPS. Dorothea Layman (Flagler County, Fl)

This is my second time meeting with Bishop Toups for a different estate planning need. First time was in 2024 with my mother-in-law to go over her existing trusts. We both were very happy with him. He was professional, warm and explained things step by step thoroughly and answered all the questions my mother-in-law had to her satisfaction. So when I needed an estate planning lawyer for myself this year, I didn't hesitate to contact Bishop right away. He came up with the best solution for my estate planning situation. And as before, he explained step by step of what each page/section of the document means and answered all the questions I had clearly. He was always easy to get a hold of and responds quickly to my inquiries. I highly recommend Bishop.

I met with Terrance Gorman regarding a personal situation. I had never met with a Lawyer before and was a bit nervous.

We found the cost is very reasonable. We will recommend Bishop to anyone who is looking for a lawyer in the Venice area. Again, thank you so much for all the work!

When I met Bishop in 2021, I was very stressed out due to my Moms' situation. It didn't take long for Bishop to offer a solution to do the medicaid planning for my mom and let me know how 'simple' this was. He immediately put my mind at rest for the first time in weeks! He is compassionate, understanding and goes the extra mile to make sure you feel good about what you believe to be a very stressful time. He continues to weigh in when I ask questions that are beyond my pay grade! He CLEARLY cares about People MORE than he does Money! I would recommend him to anyone needing assistance with your loved ones.

We worked with Bishop Toups in the Venice office to create an estate planning package. We wanted someone experienced in elder law and asset protection planning. We felt Mr Toups more than adequate in all these areas, and through the implementation of an Enhanced Estate (Lady Bird) Deed we are able to avoid probate. Florida laws are significantly more complex dealing with the elderly than what we found previously in Texas and Pennsylvania. We recommend Mr Toups.

Bishop Toups, Esq. handled all of my Estate Planning documents, and even advised me of a document that could protect my heirs from going through probate, which, being from another State previously that did not allow it, I was completely unaware of. Had he not advised me of this, and that it was permitted in the State of Florida, I would have had no clue that this important document even existed. Bishop made the entire process as pleasant and easy as possible in his calm professional manner, and took the time with me to explain things thoroughly through every document that was executed.

I needed a answer to a big issue real quick and hopefully for free . After the initial call, where I left some info and my number , I must say that I was surprised when I received a call back shortly after . In a few minutes of talking I could tell I am speaking to a honest and actually humble man . A humble and honest lawyer , unbelievable . In no time I had my answer , quick and 100% free !! We talked more after , I had asked him why would you do this for free ( yes, part of it is to receive some clients , that is obvious ) his said: " Because I want to help people like you ! " . Made my day !

I first met Mr. Toups in April 2018 at a senior center, where he was doing pro bono work for participants there.

I am very happy with his work and his manner.

We went to this practice in Sarasota in recent years for assistance in establishing a Family Trust and making provision for the future needs of a disabled adult child and could not be more pleased with the effort and results from Mr. Toups and his associates. We are retired, having used other respected attorneys along the way, but this practice is the one we use for ALL the right reasons. James and Dorothy Twiggs

I was very impressed with Bishop from beginning to end. He is a good listener and is very patient in answering questions to decode all the legalese. He was flexible and accommodating, for example, he met me outside of his office to complete my paperwork with me in the car! Due to Covid-19 I was uncomfortable going into the office. He did not hesitate to do what needed to be done for my safety. He was professional but also compassionate, not a given attribute for many attorneys! I have the peace of mind knowing when I am gone my children will be able to contact him for any questions. I highly recommend Bishop Toups!

Bishop Toups was very helpful in getting my Trust updated and signed inasmuch as there were significant changes and I kept changing my mind! He was timely, patient and helpful in all areas and he managed to present me with the document, ready for signature in the time specified.

Very good law firm to work with. Answered all of my aunt's questions and made her feel at ease with the whole process.

Bishop helped me help my parents during a difficult situation. He is professional and attentive. I appreciate you Bishop!

Bishop was very intuitive and helpful… I’d highly recommend him!

I hired Mr.Toups for my estate planning several years ago and again recently when it was necessary to make changes. From the start, Bishop explained the details of estate planning clearly. He completed my will and trust promptly on both occasions. I really appreciated his open communication. Bishop is very personable, professional, and efficient and for those reasons I recommend Bishop Toups for anyone seeking similar services. .

Mr. Toups returned my call and answered my questions promptly and was very courteous.

Very efficient and thorough. Delt with Bishop twice and was a very good experience. Covers all the bases. Definitely recommend

They treat you with compassion

Bishop was great for my estate planning and setting up a trust

I am a first time caregiver for my father. Toups helped me do a POA. They were courteous, answered any and all questions that I had and very prompt on getting me what I needed. Thank you again

Bishop helped make the estate planning process easy and strait forward. He was very patient, and answered all our questions. I would highly recommend working with him.

When I needed assistance with Elder Care laws and information, I was given the name of Bishop Toups. I am very grateful for all his help, advice and guidance when dealing with my father who has dementia. Thank you for always being there for us.

Bishop got back with me pronto and even had answers to my many questions about feeling qualified for Medicaid for when my husband, who has early stages of Alzheimer’s, enters a nursing home. I feel much more relieved to know that my concerns have been answered and he assured me that he would help me along the way. 5 stars!

I had the pleasure of working with Bishop Toups to assist me with the procedures to get my Dad qualified for Medicaid. He was very thorough and kept me up-to-date on all the steps as well as the progress of how all was going in the system. I could have never done this on my own and he saved me from a lot of aggravation at a time when I really needed help as quickly as possible.

Bishop Toups really came to our rescue when we needed help with Probate for a family member in Sarasota. Working from out of state and with no prior experience with probate – we were pretty much clueless. Mr. Toups helped us every step of the way with clear explanations of what was needed, and an infinite amount of patience. He was always responsive in a timely manner to our multitude of questions, handled all the required filings, meticulously documented his work on the case, and met the very reasonable cost he estimated when we first consulted with him. Without his guidance I'm not sure how we would have gotten through what is always a difficult process. We cannot recommend him highly enough.

What a relief! Working with Bishop gave us such confidence that our estate planning was being handled fairly and competently. We wanted to make it easy on the survivor and changed our trust into a much easier format, still avoiding probate! He is well versed in elder law and just a really nice man!

My first time needing a lawyer and I hit the jackpot!! Mr Toups went above and beyond. Something I dreaded and thought would be a long process was done in a matter of a couple weeks. And the price? Put it this way. My family lost everything in storm Helena, and Mr. Toups services were more than affordable. Almost unbelievable honestly. All other lawyers were triple the price. Not only that but I was late to our appointment and he still saw us in between other clients. I could write a 100 page review but I will end this by saying, Mr Toups I want you to know that you took a huge weight off of me that changed my life and my mother's life. I hope you are reminded on a daily basis how special and important you and your office crew are. Thank you for your fast responses and your kindness through out. Listen everybody, he did all this while he was on vacation!! Need I say more? If you don't contact Mr. Toups then your not getting the best.

Excellent law firm for handling any of your estate planning needs. I worked with Bishop Toups for my mother's probate after she passed. I also used them for my dad's power of attorney/Healthcare surrogate as well as securing a ladybird deed for my father's place. Great experience with this firm and I couldn't recommend them more.

Great experience with Bishop Toups! Bishop reviewed our various estate planning documents, recommended and explained the various options available for our specific situation and quickly took care of established the LLC's we needed at an affordable price. The whole interaction was quick, easy and I felt confident based on his knowledge and experience that we had come to the right place.

Not knowing who or where to turn for personal questions on financial issues pertaining to taking care of my husband with advancing dementia, Bishop was recommended and I made an appointment. He walked me through my concerns and answered all my questions that had laid on my back for many months. I highly recommend making an appointment and seeing for yourself!

What a wonderful experience! I was searching on the internet for an attorney in Florida that did estate planning and see about adding my daughter on to my property deeds. I'm so lucky that I got this wonderful company Bishop one of the attorneys talk with me for probably 20 minutes and taught me not only everything I wanted to know but a lot more details and he even helped me with veteran benefits that I had no idea of and hooked me up with an attorney in Georgia to get a considerable amount of money monthly for my service in Vietnam and being in the military. He never asked me for a dime and he said if you need the services in the future will be here just give us a call I mean to tell you it's the best experience with a lawyer I ever had in my life really really competent and very extremely experienced and service-oriented thank you so much Bishop! Jim Cournoyer Clearwater Florida

We highly recommend their company. If you are thinking about it but don't know where to start give them a call!!

The preparation of our life estate deed was prompt and the fee was very reasonable. Thank you for all of your guidance and assistance with this important task!

Bishop did an excellent job of explaining all the details that each document covered. I was able to communicate to him any questions I had and got an immediate response with detailed information. At all times he informed me that I could pick and choose what documents I needed for my situation. There was never a question, he was there to help me to the best of his ability. I will continue to work with him in the future and have already told many people to go see him and feel secure in your future. Thank you from my heart.

We used Bishop Toups for our Estate planning. He made this process stressless. Many avoid doing this process due to the time and energy it takes. I can’t express the ease & relief I felt after our visit. I would recommend this group 100%. Ken & I are so grateful to know if anything happens to us our children will be taken care of! Thank you Bishop

I cannot say enough about the job Bishop Toups did in preparing our estate plan and trusts. Bishop took a process that we put off for so long and made it easy to understand and work with. He was very patient with us and his fee was far more reasonable than others we inquired of. I could not recommend him more highly.

I had a fantastic experience working with Bishop Toups on a probate matter involving a parcel of land in Florida. From the start, he was responsive, professional, and extremely knowledgeable in the entire probate process. He helped guide us through the process and it was seamless, especially since we were in NJ. What really stood out was his attentiveness. I had called several law firms in the area (many of them not returning calls or emails), and Bishop reached out to me on a Saturday morning, and I appreciated that. We had a lovely conversation and he was able to tell me about the location of the land and the surrounding area, and also gave me a recommendation for someone who could assist with the land. I’m very grateful for his help and would highly recommend him to anyone in need of probate or estate legal services.

Attorney Bishop Toups worked quite diligently on my mother’s case with getting her onto Medicaid after having numerous delays in her case — and it paid off! I truly appreciate his persistence and dedication to the process.

My wife and I went through Bishop Toups to have a living Will made. He was awesome. Very professional and explained everything on it for my wife and I to understand. Thanks a ton Bishop.

Bisjop Toup, Esq. prepared all of my Estate Planning documents, and even advised me of a document that could protect my heirs from going through probate, which, being from another State previously that did not allow it, I was completely unaware of. Had he not advised me of this, and that it was permitted in the State of Florida, I would have had no clue that this important document even existed. Bishop made the entire process as pleasant and easy as possible in his calm professional manner, and took the time with me to explain things thoroughly through every document that was executed. Having worked as a Legal Assistant in Estates and Trust over my lengthy career, I was extremely impressed, and placed my trust in him with ease.

The whole process went smoothly, Bishop Toups was very easy to work with

Attorney Bishop Toups is great! I had him work on a probate matter for my mom who passed away. He kept me informed during the process, and was extremely efficient. Losing a loved one is difficult enough, Bishop Toups and his knowledge made the process of Probate seamless……..Sue , Anne's daughter.

Bishop Toups is that rare combination of skill and compassion.

Bishop Toups was a pleasure to work with he was very helpful and made our estate planning an easy process ,Thank you for all your help.

I hired Attorney Bishop Toups to take care of the Medicaid application for my 90 year old mother in a nursing home. I highly recommend Attorney Toups because of his knowledge, experience, and the care and support he gave me during a stressful time.

Bishop has made this experience alot easier than what we expected. He was very thorough during the process and answered all questions that we had and took all the time needed to complete our wills. We highly recommend him.

Bishop was very helpful getting me through my mother's probate. He even made himself available on weekends.

After interviewing several area attorneys to handle our estate planning and trust, we selected Bishop Toups and have been exceedingly pleased with our decision. Bishop consulted with us prior to being retained to answer our questions, explain the estate planning process and the documents that would be produced. As a veteran, I was especially pleased that Bishop is currently serving in the USAR as a member of the JAG corps. Another plus was Bishop's knowledge and background in tax law. He was professional in all of our interactions and delivered our trust and supporting documents in a timely fashion. If we have additional estate planning matters we will definitely retain Bishop and would highly recommend him to anyone else in need of trust, probate or estate planning.

We purchased Frederick W. Daily's _Stand up to the IRS_ book, published by NOLO. We love the NOLO books. The Stand Up to the IRS book is now our favorite: it was a phenomenal return on investment, although we certainly hope not to have to use it again. In short: we were audited. We keep meticulous records and knew that we were following the requirements for filing (thanks, other NOLO book!) We went through the appeals process and were denied. Because we'd bought the book, we weren't afraid of having to go to tax court and were confident in the process. I'll skip all the details I don't want random internet strangers finding for the rest of my life, but the short version is: we didn't have to go to tax court and had a great outcome. We know that this wouldn't have been the case without Fred Daily and his book. After this was all over, I contacted the law offices of Daily & Toups to thank Fred for having put such clear, usable information out there, accessible to anyone through a very reasonably-priced book. I hope we never need a tax lawyer, but if we do, we're obviously going to contact this firm.
