Fantastic Lawyer
I attended a recent Zoom presentation and was very impressed with the clarity of her presentation and the depth of her knowledge. Most importantly, the depth of her concern for her clients and elder law issues in general is obvious.

Great presenter!
I have been fortunate enough to observe many of Chari's presentations. Chari is such a knowledgeable resource and has the uncanny ability to relate to people while discussing difficult subjects. She makes the law "make sense" without talking down to her audience.

Professional & Nice
Attorney Maddren assisted me with the preparation of estate planning documents. I really appareciated her expertise, affordability and prompt response to help me get my affairs in order. I would highly recommend her.
