Estate Planning

Estate planning can feel overwhelming when you are unsure of the process. Katrina came highly recommended as an Estate Planning attorney. She is very knowledgeable about the legalities of Estate Planning and spent time educating my husband and myself on different options for creating a Trust. She... was very patient with us as we began making decisions and was always able to provide answers to all our questions. The Estate Planning binder she provided is very organized and provides all the details for administering our estate. We would highly recommend Katrina for Estate Planning.

Katrina was very helpful for our estate planning and setting up our trust. She explained everything thoroughly, taking the time to re-visit any items we needed more explanation on, and allowed us time to fully review the entire document before signing.

Exceptional Legal Service

We recently worked with Cornerstone Legal for multiple matters. This was our first time engaging a lawyer, and we were intimidated by the process but knew we needed help. We wanted to start LLC’s, review leases that we had for some rentals, transfer deeds, do our estate planning and get a will and tr...ust set up. Katrina was amazing! She took our complicated needs and stepped us through her proven process. She was available for virtual or in-person meetings and took time explaining legal terms, helping us make decisions, and patiently answering all our questions. All communication was excellent, prompt and easy to understand. Our finished product was very impressive and organized so we now have beautiful LLC binders and estate planning portfolios that we can refer to. We would highly recommend Cornerstone Legal to anyone who wants exceptional legal service.

Setting up our trust

So thankful to have Katrina's expertise in setting up our trust. She made a daunting task easy, educational and, shockingly, enjoyable! Katrina is very organized and professional yet approachable. She provided just the right amount of information to make concepts accessible without feeling overwhelmi...ng. We're in our 30's and just had our first baby. Our accountant recommended that we seek guidance from Katrina as we shift into this next phase of our life. Totally worth the investment to know that we have these things taken care of for our loved ones, especially our child. I'll be sending friends and family her way!

Competent Attorney

Connecting with Katrina put luck on my side. I had an old estate plan that needed updating and my daughter searched around and found a possible connection with Katrina. I made plans to meet with Katrina when I was visiting family in East Lansing. Our consultation went well, and I was immediately con...fident that I could easily work with her. Her intelligence was obvious, her demeanor comfortable, and I knew that this relationship would work. We discussed what was needed to update the trust, and a few weeks later I had the trust in my hand. Katrina's fees were fair, and she will answer any questions one might have. Very trustworthy.
