Estate Planning

Mrs. Josey provided my wife and me with legal services in the form of wills, powers of attorney, and advance medical directives. Our experience with Mrs. Josey and her staff was very pleasant and we were especially pleased with how organized and thorough the information collection process and explan...ation of legal terms and concepts were. Anticipating a complicated procedure, we found that with Mrs Josey, her knowledge of estate issues and superior communication skills made the whole process easy to complete and enjoyable to experience. Mrs. Josey really took the time to fully understand our financial and medical status. She ensured that we will be in position to take full advantage of available financial and medical benefits. We highly recommend Mrs. Josey to anyone seeking the highest quality legal assistance in the estate planning.

Very attentive

Mrs. Josey made me feel very comfortable walking me through the legal work of my divorce process. I would highly recommend her.

A Wuper Wonder Woman

I am going through a divorce and I was really torn up emotionally to think straight in the process. Sara and I sat during our initial conference and she listened intently to understand what was going on. The professionalism that Sara presented to me made me feel like someone had my back, and I felt... completely comfortable with Sara at the helm to guide my ship. I will keep her inside my contacts list and I will encourage anyone to go to her first she is a dream to have on your corner.

Competent attorney

Hired Sara to handle my separation and divorce. What started out as an uncontested divorce was stretched into a 17-month ordeal due to delaying tactics by opposing council. Throughout the process, Sara kept focus on my goals and worked diligently to accomplish them. She was very approachable and a...nswered my questions promptly and thoroughly. Sara has a great personality and sense-of-humor and kept me grounded during difficult times. I couldn't have made a better choice than to retain Sara. Would use her services again and without hesitation, would refer her to my friends.

Confident and prepared

She was great! Any question I had was answered and I was treated with respect. She also made sure she was more than ready for Court and I felt very confident with the out come.
