KEY ADVANTAGES OF HIRING HOLLYN FOSTER

WE WERE LUCKY WHEN HOLLYN FOSTER STARTED TO WORK FOR US AS AN ATTORNEY employed by the law firm handling the estate of a beloved family member. Hollyn J. Foster is an experienced, wise and effective advocate. Difficult as it was, we needed to follow the will and settle things as written. Hol...lyn IS A PATIENT AND HUMBLE PERSON WHO LISTENS. She makes you feel at ease and confident in her abilities. She knows her job is to help her clients do what is necessary because She CARES ABOUT the PEOPLE involved in the case. For our family situation, Hollyn was impressive as an advocate and forthright as a legal advisor. From day one, Ms. Foster was friendly, efficient, patient, organized, and focused on taking the right actions at the right time. Ms. Foster used her legal education along with years of paralegal expertise to keep all concerned moving forward on the right track so that we could reach our destination. KEY ADVANTAGES OF HIRING HOLLYN FOSTER: We worked with Hollyn Foster for nearly two years to distribute items and educate the heirs about the estate settlement process. About nine months after we met her, Global Pandemic spread across the U.S. Hollyn quickly adapted and handled the virtual courtroom and delayed hearings as if it were a natural ritual. Hollyn’s MASTERY OF TECHNOLOGY enabled us to move forward with the case at hand. We were working full-time, managing quarantine issues and still grieving. She worked hard to address the challenges of a large family whose members live in three different time zones. She almost seemed to be some sort of procedural wizard. She considered the best course to take, discussed the strategy with her clients. If approved, she prepared documents, handled filings and garnered the respect of other attorneys involved in the case. Hollyn HAS SKILLS AND WISDOM TO ASSESS CHANNGING SITUATIONS AND RESPOND AS NEEDED. She was a fearless guide for us and encouraged all concerned to proceed with decency. This may not seem important when you are involved with the legal system, but you definitely need THE RIGHT ADVOCATE WHEN YOU NEED LEGAL COUNSEL. When you are in the midst of the storm, you need an advocate who gained experience on the boat and then became a master at the wheel.

Kind, caring, professional and made something really hard seem very easy!

I cannot recommend Hollyn and her paralegal, McKenzie, enough! The service was OUTSTANDING! Hollyn met with us in person initially, and made what could have been SUPER complicated situation, with transferring my deceased sister’s trust almost effortless. And I really appreciated that the very reaso...nable expense to help us with all of the filings and papers was done as a flat fee. There were no surprises or hidden costs! Because of this, I was not stressed about the MANY emails I sent asking for help and clarification on how to do things, as this was the first time I was the executor for a trust. And there responses were so quick; I always got an answer immediately. I even called in a panic when I was at the bank (getting my Medallion Signature Guarantees) and they took my call and patiently talked me through everything. What amazing and caring client service to get in this day and age when other law firms bill for every ten minutes! And Hollyn explained EVERYTHING in plain terms that I could understand. She is SO knowledgeable about all of the details of estates. I am thankful that my sister chose Hollyn before she died so that we would have a trusted firm to help us take care of this. And I am grateful that even with a pandemic we had all of Hollyn’s expert advice and experience to help us resolve this estate. Do not hesitate to use her and her team to help you!

Wonderful support!

I am so grateful for Hollyn Foster. I went to Bowers and Associates, because my family had gotten help from them in 2015, when my Mom needed to admitted to a nursing home, and they provided excellent service to help set up a Qualified Income Trust. This past December (2019), I went to see Hollyn ...Foster for help with my sister-in-law's estate. Since that first meeting, and continuing now, she has provided me with advice and direction, solved problems, answered every email right away and kept me informed of the progress of the Estate. No matter what complicated matter arose, regarding the letters of administration, will, house, belongings, savings bonds, 401K, life insurance policy, unclaimed accounts, vehicle- she was able to help with it or direct me as to what my options were( Paralegal McKenzie Ford has also assisted on some of these issues). I strongly recommend Hollyn Foster's services to everyone - she is so smart, passionate, and compassionate, and knows how to get results.

Holly gets right to the point

I contacted Hollyn based on a friend's recommendation. During our consultation, she immediately got to the heart of the matter and was able to find the issue and bring a solution to the matter.

She was through, easy to understand and prompt with her answers. If I pursue this situation, I will probably hire her.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I have known and respected Ms. Foster for a number of years. We have been forced into adversarial positions as attorneys, but I have never found Hollyn to be anything other than courteous, professional and responsive. Some lawyers misinterpret such traits as a sign of weakness, but to do so with Hollyn would be a fatal error. She fights very hard for her clients. I heartily endorse her."
