Absolutely the Best Attorney!!!

Rekha Rao is the best attorney to handle your estate planning. She is kind, thorough and took the time to answer every question we had. She goes above and beyond in her service where other attorneys don't go. I am so happy she was referred to us by a friend and highly recommend her to anyone. We didn...'t just gain an attorney, we gained a true and honest friend!!!
