Estate Planning

Elizabeth is a very knowledgeable estate planner. She walked me through each step of the process and explained the expected results of each decision that I made. I was only in town for a short while as I presently live in Singapore so Elizabeth made phone contact with me before the signing day and sh...e and her staff were very friendly during my time at her office.

Estate Planning Clients

Through research for both of our states, explained everything well, educated us in the process and did far more than our expectations. My husband and I were very happy.

Review of the performance of Mrs. Bircher in preparing our wills.

My wife and I were very satisfied with the service and advice afforded us by Mrs. Bircher in the preparations of our wills. She was very knowledgeable and most helpful in guiding us through a number of items and considerations in the process of formulating the documents. She answered all of our que...stions in a clear manner and in words and language that we could understand and comprehend. She assisted us by her conscientiousness and professionalism throughout the entire process. If we have any future legal concerns or needs, we will seek assistance from her or other members of her firm.

Elizabeth went out of her way to help me. I live in another state and she was very helpful in doing everything so, I did not have to travel to handle my mother's estate.

  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
