Satisfied with our estate plan

Dwnise and her team prepared our estate plan. She is kind and very honest about what we could and could not do. We appreciated her honesty and explanations.

Estate Guidance and Functional Excellence

Denise Nordheimer and her associate, Shana Pinter, did an outstanding job in assisting me on closing my mother's/parent's estate after my Mom's passing in 2015. Living in North Carolina, I knew that trying to manage the many facets of the estate myself from North Carolina would be an arduous task, an...d Nordheimer Law was there to assist me prior to my Mother's passing up through the closing of the estate in July of 2016. I would highly recommend Nordheimer Law for legal assistance and guidance in managing or overseeing the closure of an estate where the will was filed in the State of Delaware. Denise and Shana are very effective and efficient and I think that the money spent to retain and utilize their legal services was worth every penny! I would highly recommend them to anyone needing any estate planning or estate settlement assistance.

Most Efficient, Informed and Personally Helpful

I am a former trusts and estates appraiser for an international auction house. In the course of my career I have had dealings with attorneys in both the US and Britain. When informed of the death of a sibling (by mail from an annuity fund!) and encountering a non-cooperative executor, I contacted Ms.... Nordheimer (after seeing her website) for advice. She and her office were immediately responsive and guided me through the process of obtaining the necessary documents to which I was entitled as next-of-kin. Ms. Nordheimer then gave me a timetable of the Delaware probate process and how to verify that the will inventory and accounting is performed in a compliant manner. She was at all times a realistic adviser, telling me what I could do rather than what I could not do. My experience with Ms. Nordheimer and her office was the most efficient and positive of any I have ever experienced. I unreservedly recommend her to anyone in need of assistance in the fields of estate planning, family trusts, and probate. I wish there were more attorneys of her caliber.

Opening and Closing an Estate

I contacted Denise for advice and guidance in handling my mom's estate following her death. Began the process myself but found it a bit overwhelming as I was trying to balance several other responsibilities at that time. From the beginning Denise took charge and clearly told me the specific informati...on I needed to supply. Denise lifted the burden from my shoulders, organized all the information I provided and filed all of the necessary paperwork. During that time Denise provided very clear information and advice as well as explanations at various stages. She was always accessible and answered e-mails and phone calls promptly. Denise has a warm and friendly personality that instantly makes you feel relaxed and secure. Her knowledge and ability are extraordinary. Contacting Denise was the best decision I could have made during a rather emotional time in my life.
