Estate Planning

It was great working with Hope. She is patient, knowledgeable and very informative. I had a will, trust, and power of attorneys established in one meeting. Her process is very effective by gathering information prior to the meeting. It was the best experience I have had with a lawyers.

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.

Estate Plan with Documents in 4 Hours

Now retired, we have various significant assets, and needed a complete estate plan for transferring them to our children and grandchildren. Hope guided us through a very thorough process, and completed all of the legal documents (revocable trust, revised wills, power of attorney, living wills and ...medical power of attorney for each of us) in one 4-hour session, even working right through lunch. Very engaged, friendly, personable and professional, and very reasonable fee.

Understanding, Knowledgeable and Efficient

My husband and I worked with Hope Wood to set up our wills and update our house deed. Hope was able to come to our house after work, which was extremely convenient for us. She immediately put me at ease with her knowledge of the law and friendly nature. She took the time to explain any term I needed ...explained, and was quickly able to research any issues I had, which involved confirming I was listed as an owner on my mother's house. I'd highly recommend Hope Wood to anyone needing to draw up or revise their own will or trust, and we plan to use her in the future for any revisions.

"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."
