Complicated Estate Planning Done Right!

I met with Mrs. Litchfield and was immediately impressed with her insight on how to manage my very complicated estate plan ( multiple houses, children from different marriages, and a business). While her prices are competitive I would have gladly spent double on her plan as it will save my family ma...ny time more. And to boot she has personality! I'm urging all my extended family to take advantage of her initial consultation so they can be protected as well.

Excellent real estate attorney

Amber assisted us with some real estate legal issues pertaining to purchase of a short sale property. She quickly reviewed the contracts and addendums; in only a few hours, she provided us our legal options and a response to give to the seller's agent. She responded to our many emails very quickly an...d often after business hours, and she explained her responses in both legal and lay person terminology. Overall, she was a pleasure to work with.
