ESTATE PLANNING

Our estate planning documents were recently completed by Attorney Rankin. The entire process was excellent! Attorney Rankin was very easy to communicate with, was readily accessible and provided clear and easy-to-understand answers to all of our questions. Each document was written with very ca...reful attention to details and reviewed with us. We appreciate her work and highly recommend Attorney Rankin.

Trust Services

Christina was referred by my financial advisor when working on settling my grandmothers estate. When my grandmother passed, I did not really know what I needed to do. Christina walked us through each step in detail and was very timely in her responses. We lived out of state and she made the process... very smooth for us and was always available for questions.

Best lawyer ever

I am not sure where we would be without Ms. Rankin. She has been there for my family in a time of great distress. She and her team went out of their way to give peace to my mother during her last days. She has also guided me through every step of the way during the process to handle my mother's estat...e. We were so comfortable with her that we asked her to handle our family's planning. She makes discussing difficult decisions so much easier. I would recommend anyone with an estate or probate need to call her.

Effective and efficient

Christina was recommended to me by a real estate friend to handle a probate matter after my Mother passed. The consultation was professional and enlightening, so I had her firm handle the court filings in Pinellas Co for me. Communication was great and showed focus on the task at hand. The results w...ere timely and just what she predicted. I have used other attorneys over the years that frustrated me more than the matter I engaged them to resolve. Not the case with Christina. I hope I don't need her services again, but will not hesitate to recommend her to others.
