Ann Marie Rotz

But was left hanging multiple times. Specifically, on a number of occasions, I waited weeks for emails and multiple times had to write more than once to get a response. We consulted about a real estate situation gone bad and talked of pay to get the answers we needed only to be told, after having to ...suggest it ourselves, that we seek other counsel. Just flat out say you don't want to help from the get go. It isn't fun to contact multiple lawyers but it is even worse to be strung along by one like Anne did to me.

In 2016, I needed to prepare my will and advanced directives as I was preparing to live overseas for a couple of years in a developing country. I had never prepared a will or advanced directives before! I had no idea what information I needed, what decisions I'd have to make. It seemed so daunting bu...t Ann made it all so easy. She printed out all of the necessary forms and she sat down with me, one on one, and went through all the details. She was very approachable and accessible - I could ask any question and she never made me feel stupid or silly. And I never once felt rushed. I've since recommended her to several family members and friends who've since gone on to retain her services.

When we first contacted Ann, it was because we were about to adopt a baby -- an opportunity that came up pretty quickly -- and we needed advice on how to do an inter-state transfer. She acted swiftly, with empathy, and our family is forever indebted to her for guidance and thoroughness. After the ado...ption was settled we finished up our wills with Ann and so did the rest of our extended family. She is a consummate professional, cares for her clients and her community... and well, the world.
