Establishing a Living Will

Meghan established a Trust, Will and Power of Attorney for my wife and I. She was very knowledgably, answered all our questions and provide clear and concise guidance on setting up the Trust. She made the whole effort seamless and simple.

Clear, patient, made it easy

Meghan set up the estate planning for my family. She explained the recommendations and documentation clearly and answered questions patiently, and was well organized. I would recommend her for anyone who is seeking to set up wills and trusts.

Great experience!

Ms. Schuler was very professional and clear. She helped us create a Will and Living Trust. It was the first time we have had to do something like this, so it was nice that she took the time to answer our questions.

I am happy to assist any clients in creating Estate planning documents for the first time or updating documents they already have in place. Thank you for your review!

Knowledgeable, professional, patient and kind!

We met Ms. Schuler when we wanted to create a trust and had intended to interview several lawyers before deciding on one. However, our initial interview went so well and we were very impressed by Ms. Schuler's knowledge, professionalism and patience with our many questions, that we decided not to g...o further. We now have our trust completed and are very happy with the outcome. We highly recommend her, not only because of her qualifications, but also because she never made us feel that we had to hurry or that our questions were irrelevant. She treated us with both respect and kindness.

Ann, thank you for your kind words. I always want clients to understand the Estate Planning process and to know that they can always ask questions to ensure that their wishes are being met. I am glad you felt comfortable with our firm and it was a pleasure working with you and your husband.

Excellent Experience

Meghan assisted in our estate planning. I was thinking it would be an overwhelming task for my husband and I, but when Meghan sat down with us she explained the process and simplified every step. I am very greatful for her knowledge and expertise.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
