Vanilla prenup went smoothly

Me and my partner were getting a prenup, nothing complicated. Leta was professional, fast, and helpful. I came in with some ideas of what I wanted, she explained the deal with prenups and gave me more specific things to think about, and everything went smoothly. Because this was so vanilla, this w...as an arrangement where my partner and I would have one attorney draft the prenup with all the requirements, and a second one would just represent the other party and approve it for a lower price. Leta was the former, in this scenario. It seems to have worked for us

Pre-nup services

Ms. Liou drafted a pre-nup for my wife and I in the agreed time frame and within the quoted retainer fee (no hidden charges). She was a pleasure to deal with and offered great insight into the structure of the contract and the clauses that should be included. She also took the time to discuss my co...ncerns and offer solutions based on experience.

Fantastic attorney! Fantastic experience!

Leta helped me put together a pre-nup, and she was outstanding - and a delightful breath of "reasonability" amidst a sea of ridiculously over-priced alternatives. Leta is a skilled, knowledgeable attorney who was great to work with at every point in our process and I am totally confident that we hav...e put together an effective agreement with her help. I am very grateful to Leta for providing a quality, very reasonably-priced solution to our needs. I would recommend her next to any other attorney I've worked with (which is many).

A smooth ride for our prenup

Whether it was speaking on the phone or meeting in person, Leta was exceptional in communicating everything clearly and calmly to me regarding my husband's and my prenup. With all of the heavy legal jargon used in the document, it can be very confusing and frustrating. Yet, Leta made the time to exp...lain it all in a pleasant and professional manner. Even if she wasn't available at that moment, she was very good at getting back to you and letting you know when she could set aside the time to give attention to the matter. It would have been in her favor to just get the prenup approved and signed since she was working on a flat fee, but she never rushed or pressured me in our conversations. My husband's attorney was charging by the hour so he felt compelled to get all his questions in at once. I was so thankful that I didn't have to feel that way. His attorney was not the greatest at returning calls or giving updates on the procedure. However, Leta was fantastic in helping move along everything and prompting more communication from the other attorney. This was especially helpful since my husband and I had a symbolic destination wedding in little over a month, and we wanted to get to our marriage license as soon as possible. Leta made it happen, and I have to thank her for getting all done while truly listening to my needs and looking out for my best interest (even when I forgot). It is easy to get lost in what you initially wanted for a prenuptial agreement. With Leta, she understood what I needed and was also able to convey it accurately to the other attorney. Another important aspect of working with an attorney is feeling comfortable. Prenups can be awkward and unromantic in how it deals with the sensitive topic of finances. Leta was absolutely great in the way we went over everything thoroughly without any weirdness. Leta gracefully handled it all. I would definitely recommend Leta to anyone who is looking to hire for his/her prenup.
