Fantastic Estate Attorney

My brother and I hired Elle Van Dahlgren Law to help us with our mom's estate after her passing. Elle and her team made a very stressful and overwhelming time much easier to get through because of their professionalism, responsiveness and ability to help us navigate unchartered waters. They have be...en nothing but wonderful to work with. They are caring and compassionate, but also make sure things are getting done. Even though you are dealing with a death of a loved one, there is still paperwork, deadlines, documents and other things that need to be addressed right away. Elle took care of it all; we didn't have to worry about anything, but she kept us in the loop about all that was happening. Her team made us feel like we were their most important client, and whenever we have a question, we get a response right away. I would not hesitate to recommend Elle Van Dahlgren Law to my friends, family and associates.

knowledgable, down to earth, truly cares about her clients and does it all with humor.

I had the opportunity to hear a colleague speak. It was eye opening and thought provoking. Elle of Elle Van Dahlgren Law, LLC spoke at my breakfast meeting today about really tough subjects. She spoke about wills and trusts, about getting your final wishes put down on paper, about having someone to ...guide you through the difficult process and paperwork after a loved one has died. She talked about making sure your college age students are protected once they turn 18. Did you know that if you don't have a legal document on file making you their guardian, if something happens, once they are 18, the school/ hospital, doctor can't talk to you????? She talked about making sure your children's inheritance is supervised by who you want if you are divorced. She discussed all this and a few other estate / family planning topics that none of us like to think about. And when I left, I was ready to tackle some of these issues not be afraid of them. She is knowledgable, down to earth, truly cares about her clients and in all honesty she does it all with humor. I have had the opportunity to work along side her with mutual clients. Her clients love her. She eases their minds, helps make sense of issues that don't seem to make sense at all. She cares about her clients wishes and she works with them and within their budget. I highly suggest speaking with her if you have one or many of these issues to discuss. She will be honest and point you in the right direction.
