Probate case

I was referred to Walney Attorneys and got Mary Youssi and we couldn’t have been happier or more satisfied. From our first consultation I was able to finally get an overview of what I was facing, possibilities of things that could go smoothly or challenges with a probate case which allowed me to make... an informed decision. She was so understanding and patience and clear about all the steps we needed to take through such an emotionally difficult situation. We would highly recommend her to everyone!!!!

Professional, compassionate legal service

Mary handled a sensitive guardianship case for me and achieved the result I wanted quickly. She listened to me and was very considerate and supportive. I highly recommend her.

We found the best

We learned of the Walny Legal Group and engaged Mary Youssi as counsel as my sister and I faced the need to seek Guardianship for our family member. This was a challenge that we were unprepared tto take on. From the first Mary outlined the many steps in that role including training to become ac...credited to become Guardian of Estate. Mary explained each step exceedingly well. She provided counsel in sale of property, trust options, guidance and filing for obtaining health care services and many other areas. She then represented us in all court appearances petitioning for those actions. In all of these matters Mary was always available and prompt in leading us through the world of Guardianship. Above all we knew she would be there to guide us both as our legal representative and friend. She has our complete thanks and recommendation.
