Superb!

Hope Wood prepared a will for me. She addressed a lot of concerns I had and found the best ways to deal with certain situations. It was a very quick process. I highly recommend her.

Will in a Day Program

Couldn’t have asked for a better experience getting our estate plan set up! Hope was extremely knowledgeable and made the process approachable. After filling out the quick questionnaire before the meeting, our wills were done in 2 hours with all issues thoroughly discusssed and planned for. I would h...ighly recommend working with Hope and we absolutely will hire her in the future if needed.

Great Experience, Great Attorney

I went to law school with Hope, and she was the first person I called to review and execute our wills. She was prompt, improved upon our first drafts and provided practical advice about how long these wills would be relevant (due to our current stage of life) and when we should redraft our wills, e.g...., as our children age beyond 25 years and start their own families. And she reminded us to change our secondary beneficiary designations to our testamentary trust. She also made sure we had advanced directives and medical power of attorney in place. Hope was flexible and patient with our schedules and even came out to our offices to execute our wills.

Consultation/ Unbundled Representation

Hope was very open and clear about any and all concerns and issues I had involving my case. She provided excellent guidance and instruction for the questions I had. I would most definitely utilize her knowledge again when I need questions answered regarding any legal concerns. I highly recommend her ...for those who are searching for a good resource for legal questions.

Calm in the Storm

I provided Ms Wood my concerns, thru email and her schedule was such - I was able to see her personally later that week. At appointment she was attentive and advise provided me a diverse approach to resolve the situation. By the end of appointment, I was confident what needed to be accomplished next.... Ms Wood calmed me and I had a straighter path, at a time I was whirling like a tornado.

"I have known Hope since she was in law school, during which time she handled matters for me in my office. She was a delight to work with. She was always willing to step up to do work and she always did it thoroughly and in a timely fashion. In addition, I was struck by how great she is with clients. She really understands how necessary it is to be kind during times when clients are in stress, and to talk in a way that allows a stressed client to understand what is happening on their matter. Since she has become a full time lawyer, I have had occasion to refer matters to her when I have a conflict and she has done a great job for those clients as well. Hope is a bright light in the field of law."
