Great Grace

Carole is a fantastic adviser. I am a lawyer with a strong tax background; my wife is a sophisticated business woman but with little background in estate planning. We also own a small business that we hope to pass on to our children. We asked Carole to design an estate plan for us. In addition we... asked her to explain her advice at a level that was accessible to my wife, but that also challenged my legal background. With her knack for making the complex seem simple, she walked this line with great grace. We have both learned to trust her knowledge and judgement. We recommend her without reservation.

Need an Estates and Trusts attorney Select Carle Bass

My wife and I have been using Carol for many years. We initially engaged her to prepare our wills and over the years we had her revise them a number of times. Recently we engaged carol to prepare two Grantor Trusts. She is in total command of the subjects in her specialties. We like that she is a v...ery responsive, warm and personable person to deal with. I am an attorney and my evaluation of her is A+.

I highly recommend Carole!

  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
