Her customer service approach is genuine.

Meticulous details and sound legal advice. My favorite lawyer and I feel grateful to have her working in my best interest. She helped me through a difficult transition. I was able to develop a new trust and estate plan to meet my new circumstances and her guidance was priceless.

Set me on the right path with my estate plan

I met Pamela at a women's networking group years ago. I worked with her to set up my will, living will, revocable trust and durable power of attorney. Just this last week, I was faced with a challenge that had me worried I could lose everything that I have saved for my entire life. Once I called Pame...la, she had me rest assured that I was protected with what we had created in 2014 and that there was no need to worry. She explained why and what she had done to set me up originally and made just a few more suggestions for me to take presently. I didn't know who to call when the challenge arose and actually called her for a referral when she told me that she was the right person to call. and that all the precautions were already in place. What a relief.

A wonderful firm.

I don't know if I can adequately express how superlative and supportive the service I received from Pam and her associates while setting up my end of life documents and my trust. I'll give one example. Pam had recommended that I get a certain document from the IRS and gave me detailed and comprehensi...ve instructions as to how to properly fill out the paperwork needed for this. Despite all of this, the IRS refused my request. When I told her assistant, Corrie, what had happened, Corrie herself submitted an application on my behalf. When that failed, Pam got on the phone with the IRS and spent a considerable amount of time trying to convince them of the validity of my request. Ultimately, she prevailed. And with all of this effort on their part over and beyond what anyone could possibly expect, I wasn't charged anything extra at all. Pam and Corrie are always there to answer any questions I might have and to run interference for me when I hit a roadblock. Usually I don't need to call them, because the instructions that they left with the completed documents are very detailed. I cannot recommend this firm highly enough. They are professional, more than competent and accessible.
