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.

Great Experience!

Katrina helped us set up both an estate and business plan and was so incredibly helpful throughout the process. She was thorough and efficient and I cannot recommend her more highly. The initial Zoom call was so convenient for our schedules for my husband and I to both be present and she came to ou...r home to go over and sign all of the final documents.

This is my review

Katrina Hofstetter established a trust for my husband and me. She was easy to work with especially in the way she communicates. Very straightforward and patient with 2 old people. Also, she was clear about expectations and did exactly what she said she would do.

Katrina did an excellent job preparing our Estate portfolio. She is professional, friendly, knowledgable and provided follow up support in a timely manor. I would recommend her for your estate needs.

Excellent Help with our Trust

We really appreciated our experience working with Katrina. We had considered setting up a trust ourselves but were so glad we had her to help us. She took the time to find out what was most important to us and explained the difference between a trust and a will, how to keep things out of probate, ...and all the different things our paperwork should cover from financials, guardianship, and health care decisions. We would have been so overwhelmed without her help. Her organized and detailed presentation helped us to understand everything we were signing and to know all the things we needed to do to complete the final pieces. She was also very accomodating with our schedule and the location of meetings, even enduring last minute changes to meetings due to our child care schedule. We would and have recommended her to others.
