estate planning

I recently met with Atty. Jane Walker in order to discuss estate planning. She was very knowledgable, thorough, professional and personable. I would highly recommend her to family and friends.

Amazing elder care lawyer

Jane did an amazing job dealing with my mom's Title 19 nursing home needs and her estate. I can't recommend her highly enough . Her and her staff were the perfect combination of expertise, experience and compassion!

Atty Walker handled it all during a difficult time

My aunt passed away, and I was named the personal representative of her estate. It was a grieving period for me, I work ten hour days, the estate needed to be filed in another county, and I knew I didn't want to attempt to navigate this process by myself. From my first visit with Attorney Walker, I... knew I could trust Jane and her staff to help me through a difficult time. My life continued on with little disruption from the probate process, because this law office handled it all. Thanks, Jane (and staff)!

VERY Satisfied with Attorney Jane Walker

Attorney Jane Walker provided my family with expert legal information on elder law issues. She provided very valuable information at a critical time for us. Her expertise and willingness to go above what any other attorney has ever done for us was not only appreciated , but very critical in getting t...he issues fixed. It was a pleasure to work with Attorney Jane Walker and we HIGHLY recommend her for any type of estate, probate, or elder law issue.
