Patient, warm estate planning

My husband and I hired Laura to help us put an estate plan in order after our first child was born. We found her diligent, practical, and responsive to our specific needs. She was also extremely patient with us: We were slow to work through the process (juggling full-time jobs and childcare during a ...pandemic!), but Laura and her team moved at our pace. Her flat-fee structure and personal warmth helped us feel comfortable taking the time to ask questions, making sure we really understood the implications of our choices. We'd choose her all over again!

Diligent and kind

Laura helped my husband and I prepare our wills, healthcare proxies, power of attorney and standby guardianship papers. She was very detailed focused and thorough. She made us feel extremely comfortable and did an excellent job. She was also very personable and easy to work with.

Professional. Knowledgeable. Compassionate.

Ms. Fischer-Harbage handled my late mother's estate. Even though there was a trust component to her esate, the process should have been relativey simple. Unfortunately the lawyer who wrote the will and his firm screwed up badly in several instances--to the extent that a legal malpractice strategy aga...insst them was seriously considered. Laura was the pefect lawyer--and person--to untangle the mess. Laura was diligent, hard-working, a great communciator and collaborator. She took the time necessary to explain things, she offered solutions and options. Her stable of ancillary professsionals (other lawyers, accountants, etc.) were equally excellent, effective, and responsive. While her touting her professionalism and legal expertise are really the most important and pertinent things for this forum, I can add that she is a kind and warm human being. I would recommend--and have on several occasions--Ms. Fischer-Harbage's professional services without reservation to anything who was looking for a great lawyer.

MOST HELPFUL, PROFESSIONAL AND KIND

Following a complicated estate resolution for a family member, my wife Carol and I knew that Laura was the best person to help us execute our own estate planning and will. Laura explained everything clearly and more importantly, humanely and sensitively. We were confident in her knowledge and recomme...ndations to help carry out our wishes and would recommend her professional services with enthusiasm. Thank you, Laura!

Wonderful consul

Friends highly recommended Laura when my husband died. She was wonderful, helpful, warm, professional all I could have hoped for. And when I was recently ready to do my own will I knew who to contact. I have recommended her to friends and acquaintance.
