Excellent experience with an attorney

Tara helped us with Estate Planning with a trust for my wife and I and a Special Needs Trust for our daughter. Tara was very patient and explained points of law to us that we did not understand. Her examples were concise and helped us understand how things would work. Also her pictorial sketches wer...e helpful for us to understand how the assets would flow. I have worked with four different attorneys and Tara has been the BEST so far. I am expecting to utilize an attorney again for a property purchase; undoubtably it will be Tara!

Excellent Experience

We came to Ms. Peterson to secure a Trust and Ms. Peterson took the time and ensured that we knew what was involved. She answered our question and there was absolutely no pressure. I have never had a lawyer as part of my team and now my wife and I can say we have one now. She is highly professiona...l, very personable, and devoted to her trade in serving others. I wholeheartedly endorse her professional service.

Recommendation

This past spring Tara Peterson helped us with our trust and provided information we never thought of - which was very helpful in writing up the trust that best meets our needs. In addition to being very friendly and down to earth, she also answered questions regarding our elderly parents that live 4 ...hours away. We called her 6 months later on an elderly question and she answered our question quickly, efficiently, and in a friendly manner. We would definitely recommend her to our friends and family. We can't recommend her high enough for her professionalism and being a people person in explaining her lawyer information. Thank you Tara.

Without Tara, I wouldn't have medicaid to help us!

Tara filed a medicaid application for my wife. She made the experience understandable! I tried on my own and the facility told me my wife couldn't get any assistance at all and that I had to keep her home. After seeing Tara, I don't pay anything out of pocket for her care, medicaid covers her nursi...ng home expense completely. Tara explained what she was doing throughout the whole process so that I could understand, and made it feel painless. It was a hard decision to put my wife in a facility and take her away from my home, but Tara helped me see that I was helping us both, and made it an easy transition. I'm so thankful I met her!

Speaks so I understand

Tara made it very easy to understand what we were doing and the documents we were getting as we planned for my husbands stay in a nursing home. She was always quick to return calls and spoke in terms that made sense. She was great and I highly recommend you see her!

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.
