Estate Planning

With the unexpected passing of my husband I attend a seminar hosted by Aimee Griffin and decided to arrange a consultation to get more information. In talking further I did decide to start estate planning for my children to prevent the uncertainty of my wishes and final financial arrangement to prev...ent any additional burden to my children. The entire staff that I interacted with was so compassionate with my emotional condition and always professional in explaining every step of the process to me. I will and have already recommended them to friends and family . Aimee Griffin and her staff will forever have my gratitude for working with me

Father's Estate

I would highly recommend Aimee to anyone who needs help with an Estate. I was not at all familiar with the process, and she patiently guided me through every step of the way. She was professional, efficient, thoughtful and knowledgeable. Everything happened exactly how she predicted... no surprises. ...She truly cares about her clients and what they are going through.

Aimee Griffin -- Excellent Attorney -- genuine care

Aimee was recommended to me by someone at Shared Horizons 3rd Party community trust. I had been talking about having wills and special need trusts done for my son and also wills for myself. However, I had spoken to numerous attorneys regarding my issues and what approach should I take. After talki...ng to all of them, I had an Excedrin headache and didn't want to deal with it so I put it off for a few years. But when I finally decided to set up the special needs trust, I said I need an attorney who speaks simple English and can break it down to me without using the legal jargon which means nothing if I don't understand what your talking about. I was introduced to the best attorney I've ever met -- Aimee Griffin. It was simple. I shared a number of ideas and thoughts, confused about most and unsure of some. Aimee listened and then interpreted what I was saying. She was EXTREMELY patient, understanding and genuinely cared. She spoke with me on the phone when I had further questions, read and responded to my emails rapidly, and made suggestions. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field. I also liked her because she did not charge me an extra dime for asking additional questions or calling her and nickel and dime me. She had a flat fee at the time I saw her and I did not have to be concerned about time and rushing. I found her to be extremely caring, down to earth and concerned about the client and very knowledgeable. Aimee goes beyond being the average attorney who I find is mostly interested in the dollar...she actually is a friend and extremely concerned about you. I would recommend her to anyone and suggest you contact her if you want a responsive and knowledgeable attorney. You will have no regrets about your decision and her response time is excellent for delivering the final product.
