Excellent Service

I used Attorney Blanchard on two different matters. The first issue she assisted me with was back in 2012 and involved a legal issue that was outside of her legal expertise. However, she did an excellent job for me and I was very happy with the outcome. When I needed assistance with my estate plan... in 2019, I did not hesitate to contact Attorney Blanchard, and once again she proved to be an excellent choice.
