Beth Ann Lawson manages my estate plan and reviews it with me often. She explains everything clearly and in detail and is highly professional.

Outstanding professional
I hired Beth Ann initially to help my late Mother when I moved her to the area. My then 87 year old Mother was so impressed, as was I, with the way she explained everything to my Mother and it was obvious that she truly had my Mother's best interest at heart. When it came time for me to establish a...

Beth Ann Reid Lawson's Lawyer Endorsements
"I have worked with Beth Ann on several matters and I proudly endorse her as an estate planning attorney. She is a true pleasure to work with. She understands her clients' needs and prepares documents to meet those needs."
"Beth Ann is a colleague and exceptional estate planning attorney. She brings a passionate concern and personal touch to her practice that I aspire to emulate for my clients. I highly endorse her."
"Beth Ann is truly a gem. She excels at estate planning, does a great job for her clients and has a wonderful heart for the families that she works with. She is one the few attorneys who truly cares and is passionate about the work she does."
"It is a privilege to introduce and recommend my former law partner Beth Ann R. Lawson. BA and I formed the general practice law firm I still own and operate, but as her estate planning & elder law practice grew she took her practice to a firm that focuses solely on estate planning matters. If anyone tumbles into my office in need of a trust, I send them straight to BA without hesitation. I don't know any attorney who immerses themselves more fully and personally in a client's matter, or gives advice from the position of having completely invested themselves in the client issue. You'll be in good hands with Beth Ann (yes, she uses both names)."
