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.

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

Estate Planning Legal Services

The Griffin Life & Legacy Law Firm provided excellent counseling and services to my wife and me. Over a period of three and a half months, we worked with a range of staff that included attorneys, legal assistants/paralegals, business experts and administrative staff. All of the staff we encountered w...ere pleasant, patient, and helpful in answering questions and clarifying complex legal and procedural concepts. All of our consultations with the firm's representatives were virtual, except for the final meeting, which involved signing our will, healthcare directive, durable power of attorney, and related estate documents at their Washington, DC location. Virtual consultations saved us the time and expense of traveling to the firm's offices, so this method of meeting with the staff was a tremendous benefit. This worked well for us because one of us had the necessary computer equipment and expertise (updated computer, camera, microphone, office equipment, and experience using Zoom and Microsoft Teams) to engage in virtual meetings. If you are unable or unwilling to participate virtually, I am certain this law firm can provide alternative ways to engage with them. All you have to do is ask. As a retired transactional attorney with 40+ years of experience, I believe the quality of the legal counseling and the end-products provided to us by the Griffin Firm were superb--second to none. Our one and only concern overall is that the three-month period required to structure and complete the implementation of our estate plan seemed to be a bit too long, but this is totally a matter of our perception as clients. It may well be that such a timeframe is quite normal for estate planning. Ultimately, the peace of mind in having an estate plan that promises to alleviate, even eliminate, the burden on our surviving loved ones of going through probate, made the cost and time invested in hiring the Griffin Firm worth every dollar and every minute. We highly recommend this law firm.

Another Satisfied Customer

The Griffin Firm attorneys (Aimee Griffin and Tiffany Veney) and support staff were professional, knowledgeable, and courteous. They prepared an estate plan which resulted in a trust that outlined a plan that placed our family on a path to generational wealth. During the development of the trust, the... firm thoroughly explained the process and provided numerous scenarios that supported our goals and objectives. The firm provided us with draft copies that we could review and edit as we felt necessary. They were patient and gave us ample time to work through our decision-making process. In the end, they delivered a final product that was unique to our household … not some cookie cutter document that we must force to fit our needs. I recommend the Griffin Firm to handle your estate planning needs.

Excellent Service - Tiffany Veney

I never met my attorney Ms. Tiffany Veney because I live in Houston, TX. However, for three years Tiffany worked with me patiently and seamlessly to finalize my sister's estate in Washington, DC. During this time I found Tiffany to be professional, knowledgeable, committed and friendly. Her respon...ses to questions and obstacles were always prompt and efficient. I have worked with a few lawyers and I can honestly say Ms. Veney is one of the BEST.
