Sarah settled my father's estate. She gave me an estimate of her price in advance. Sarah was very professional and called or emailed me when there was something for me to sign or discuss. She didn't waste my time and gave me the option to do some of the mailings, etc. which saved me money. She also handled the closing/title work for my father's property. Her total bill came in for less than what I was quoted.
