Very caring and thorough
Rosalie is amazing. She took the time to listen to me and genuinely cared enough to get to know me and understand every complexity of the arrangements I wanted - including a very delicate custody arrangement. But this didn't delay anything, it's just that the documents were right the first time aro...

"Rosalie Spelman is an excellent estate and tax planner. She has a wonderful demeanor and she is very thorough in her approach. She explains the intricacies of her suggested approach and he advice is well-founded."
"I've known Rosalie as a colleague and also as a member of the same community. Rosalie is kind, intelligent, hard working, and meticulous in every thing she does. She is a good listener and she would use her talents to ensure that the estate plan devised would meet her clients' needs and wants."
"I write both as a colleague and a client, as my family and I retained Rosalie and found her to exceed our expectations, both as a person and as a lawyer. Estate planning is not the most pleasant of topics, so her kindness and personal attention has been very much appreciated by me and my family. Moreover, she is extremely talented in what she does. For example, our estate planning involved certain complicated matters with international implications. Nevertheless, Rosalie was unfazed by the uniqueness and knowledgeable in all areas necessary in order to protect our interests and accomplish our goals. Rosalie is without question very detailed, thorough, and skilled. What is most interesting is that she also has those rare human qualities of kindness and caring and humility that often times many in our profession lack. As not only her client but also her colleague, I am very proud that she represents the very best of what my profession has to offer."
