Posted by Vicki and Larry | September 10, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Estate Planning

Elder Estate Attorney was needed

We loved working on our whole estate planning with Michele. She has a good sense of humor and was calming in an area that is sometimes hard to understand and deal with. We are very happy with her service and ability to explain the different documents and choices that we were told all people should do... when thinking about retirement - since we had never put anything in place. She always gets back to us if we place a call. She is just a really nice person and made this process so much easier than we thought it would be. Don't put it off - go see Michele!

Great Experience

My husband I are seniors and wanted to set up a trust plus will and health proxy. Michelle was great explaining to us what was entailed and made sure we understood. That was very much appreciated. We asked her a ton of questions in our meetings. We enjoyed working with her and would highly recommend ...her.
