Joan is a fantastic attorney
Joan handled my mom's will and she was wonderful. She sat and talked to us like we were old friends and explained everything in great detail. She didn't talk down to us and used language we understood... discussing and planning your moms will is not a happy time but Joan was sensitive, funny, caring...
