Excellent lawyer!

My parents have had Ms. McLamb as their attorney since the mid nineties and she probated their estates. My parents said many times that they could not have done it without her assistance and expertise. Now Ms. McLamb is helping me with trust administration. I am so thankful to be in good hands!

Janet is prompt and professional at all times. She helped me and my family when a crisis arose and was there for all of us. Janet puts her clients first

Excellent Janet McLamb

I can't speak highly enough about Janet McLamb. Not only did she competently and compassionately guide me through the legal morass after my husband's death, but she then helped me write my new will and establish a trust for my grandson. Janet is a knowledgeable attorney and is always clear when she... advises or explains. She completed my documents in a timely manner, the work of an obvious expert. I have a complete confidence and trust in her. She manages all this professionalism with kindness and good humor and friendliness. I am so reassured that she is my attorney.

Comprehensive

Janet McLamb has been our family attorney for several decades. The scope and competence of Janet’s ready legal knowledge, expertise and experience has secured our personal, corporate and estate tax matters. Equally well served have been our estate planning, Elder law and property transaction requirem...ents. With complete confidence we unreservedly recommend Janet McLamb as a highly qualified, efficacious, and personable legal counsel.

Clarity through the legal complications

Although my mother's estate is neither large nor complex, the laws are so confusing. Ms. McLamb drew up my mother's will and certain powers of attorney, asking questions to cover every facet of the issues, and explaining each step of the way so that we understood. A few years after that, she was ve...ry helpful in advising about provisions for caregiving, in such a way that veered my mother away from Medicaid problems in the future. She knows of potential dilemmas and angles in the law that I (and the average lay-person) could never imagine. I gladly recommend Ms. McLamb to anyone who needs legal help in elder law, because she is as caring as she is intelligent - VERY!!
