Great work for our trust, will and advance directive.

Great experience! Sarah helped us set up a family trust, living will, and advance directive. We did everything by email, which made things fast and efficient. She answered all our questions thoroughly and to our satisfaction.

Estate Planning

Our family was paired with Sarah through an employer-sponsored legal plan. She informed us of new and updated guidance for estate planning since our last documents were completed. She was sensitive to our needs and timely in responding to requests. Thank you Sarah and team!

Excellent and quick service

I was paired with Sarah through my legal insurance benefits plan through work and I could not have been happier. She was responsive and helped me understand my best estate planning options and quickly completed and finalized the documents. I highly recommend Sarah and her staff.

Estate planning - Professional, efficient, thorough and organized

I would highly recommend Sarah for estate planning services. Nobody wants to do this, but she made it easy and stress free. She answered all our questions, she was clear and organized, we didn't feel rushed, and her responses to our emails were thoughtful and detailed. We appreciate her help with ...this, and would recommend her highly.

Exceptional Service, Highly Recommended

I would absolutely recommend Sarah and her team for your Estate Planning needs! I was looking to create my documents around estate planning. Sarah and her team are extremely personable and friendly. They are happy to walk you through the different documents and setup based on your situation. They... were able to speak with me and determine which is the best approach for my needs. The documents were created and sent quickly. She also walked me through what the post-process was and all the different options I had available to me to ensure I was doing it correctly. I was able to have some edits made and within a few weeks I was all set! I could not believe how easy and streamlined the process was. Sarah and her team answered all my questions promptly. I had a wonderful working with Sarah and her team and I cannot recommend her highly enough!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
