Aimee D. Griffin: Estate Planning Attorney Extraodinaire

Aimee D. Griffin is a knowledgeable, empathetic, trustworthy, and personable estate planning attorney. She expertly walked my family through the trust development process by providing clear explanations, listening to our wants, needs, and concerns, making informed recommendations, and providing perso...nalized solutions.

Every family needs a family trust not just a will.

Aimee Griffin and her team are very knowledgeable in assisting clients like my husband and me with developing our own family trust. Aimee has a really nice since of humor which added to our powering through this arduous process. All members of her team were knowledgeable, patient, and accommodating... from the beginning of this process until signing. We still have a little more work to do regarding funding our trust but we are very grateful to Aimee and her team for helpting us complete our family trust.

Trust the process

I worked with Aimee Griffin and the team at Life and Legacy to establish a comprehensive trust. Mrs. Griffin and her team checked several of my boxes that I needed to feel comfortable working with a firm to establish my future plans. From the beginning, it was clear that my choices were most importan...t. I went in, not knowing what to expect, and I left with a wealth of knowledge and newfound confidence. Each step of the way I was educated as well as pushed to think past what I consider to be at the future. We worked on establishing a plan that made sense for my life today as well as what my future needs may be I never felt pressured. I never felt unheard, and I never felt like it was solely about money. The team made something that I was very nervous about turn into something that I was excited to have finally taken the step to establish. To say that I would recommend them is an understatement. I am truly thankful for the attention that I received and for the services that I received.

Efficient, Thorough, Knowledgeable Service

This week I signed my Will, advance directives, and related documents that were drafted by Life and Legacy Counselors. My experience with everyone at this firm was unmatched: They treated me with the utmost respect, answered all my questions, and reviewed everything with me (multiple times!) before t...he signing. Their meticulous attention to detail gave me confidence in their experience and expertise. Verbal and written communication was clear and frequent; I always understood where we were in the process. There were no surprises. Life and Legacy Counselors has a very user friendly portal that I felt comfortable using. I highly recommend this firm!

Very pleased with the outcome.

My experience with Life and Legacy Counselors perfectly aligned with my approach to business. Creating my estate plan was a crucial task, and through multiple meetings and touchpoints, we successfully implemented a plan that fit my desires. I highly recommend this firm. My prior research and discussi...ons with all members of the firm were consistently positive.  Overall, I had an excellent experience, and I would recommend this firm.
