Unparalleled Dedication

I have known Aubrey for years and have always been impressed by her care and compassion for her clients and how effective she is in pursuing successful outcomes when dealing with extremely complex elder law and Medicaid issues. She's not just smart, warm, and approachable, but she is always thinking... two steps ahead to ensure every "i" is dotted and every "t" is crossed. Aubrey is a tremendous asset to all of her clients and her unparalleled dedication to supporting and empowering her clients sets a high bar for the entire legal industry.

Estate Planning - The Right Attorney

Ms. Sizer assisted my wife and I with Estate Planning, to include setting up a revocable trust, will, and end of life planning. Ms. Sizer assisted us through every step, providing advice and guidance as needed and prepared drafts and final documents for our signature. She was professional and compas...sionate throughout the entire process. Ms. Sizer asked detailed questions as to goals and desired outcomes, per our family situation. Due to her diligence and legal acumen, we currently have peace of mind for whatever the future may hold in the management of our estate. We wholeheartedly recommend Ms. Sizer for your estate planning requirements. She is Excellent!

Estate planning

I was referred by a friend to attorney Aubrey Sizer to assist me with preparing a will. I contacted the office and set up consultation. Once I talked to attorney Sizer I felt very comfortable into going forward with her firm to assist me. She was very knowledgeable, explained the benefits of estate p...lanning. Gathered all the information she needed from me, and did an excellent job preparing my estate plan. I would highly recommend her services. GW
