Luther Heard Estates

My eldest brother Luther, was found deceased on 11/29/2020 in his home. That phone call was the hardest pain to hear. I had just buried my mother 6 months earlier. My brother personal affair was more than I could handle. I hired MBL Law Firm to get my brother estates in some type of order. Dealing w...ith death was hard enough, but dealing family members who thought they were entitle to something is and whole other issues. Zaniab came to my rescue. She made the court process so easy. She kept me updated with the courts status, she held my hand throughout this journey. I could always phone her if I had any questions. I would highly recommend her to handle any of your Personal Legal Affairs.

Guardianship

I ran across a website where Zainab Brown was working to help Veterans. I called her up, and Zainab Brown made a positive impression on me from the phone conversation. She was very informative and knowledgeable about the subject matter of Guardianship and very knowledgeable about Veterans. She... made me feel at ease, and was very personable. She actually gave me advice on another matter, without, charging me. I guess what I liked most of all was that she could relate to reality! She understands about children's needs, finances, struggles, regardless of there age, etc. I highly recommend Ms. Brown for the job! I actually, gave her another referral to a friend of mines.

Real Estate - HELOC Closing

On December 2nd, 2024, I hired Attorney Brown to verify whether the company that I had chosen for a Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) was a legitimate company or not. Due to her vast knowledge of Real Estate and legal practices, as well as her many years of experience, she was able to quickly help ...me acquire the necessary information I needed to confirm the company's legitimacy. We later validated that the company was legit. Also, I wanted to make sure that they were not trying to steal my personal information, then take my house by fooling me to sign documents which might have given them full control and ownership of my dream home. What made me question the company’s status is when the company’s closing attorney wanted to have the HELOC closing at my home, which raised a RED FLAG to me at first. Attorney Brown was very friendly, knowledgeable and approachable while she was sharing her professional real estate knowledge and understanding of the law with me. She explained everything to me in full detail without any intimidation as she eased my fears. I later decided to do the closing and everything worked out great. I was able to close on a $250K Home Equity Line of Credit. I now have full access to the funds, and I am using them to enhance & grow my business and my family’s future. I will recommend her to anyone because she gave me 110% based on her professionalism. With that in mind, I am sure she will do the same for you! I closed on December 5th, 2024. Thanks, Attorney Brown, for being an instrumental part of my HELOC closing and changing my future, as well as my family’s future forever. Thanks, Johnny
