Will preparation

Lauren Jackson provided guidance and advice on the preparation of a will and associated documents. She listened carefully to our needs and based on our specific situation prepared the appropriate documents. We felt very comfortable with her counsel and would recommend her to others needing direction ...in end of life planning

Posted by Rod | May 09, 2025 | Hired Attorney | Wills & Living Wills

An Impressive & Highly Client Oriented Attorney

Needed: change in my will; estate planning evaluation; and a real estate transaction. Atty Jackson was excellent in guiding me and handling these needs. She listens intently, evaluates and provides precise advice and direction in a most cordial, businesslike manner and always with patience. ... She is excellent and great to work with. She remains my "go to" attorney and the same for my daughters as it concerns my affairs. I highly recommend her.

Highly Recommended

Lauren was so amazing to work with. She has helped on both the selling and purchasing of two homes and helped us establish a Will and an Estate trust. She is always very pleasant to work with and explains everything in a way we could fully understand. She was on top of everything pertaining to our ho...mes and if an issue popped up, she handled it very quickly. I would highly recommend Lauren to anyone I know.

Great Experience with Ms. Jackson

We retained Ms. Jackson to prepare several estate documents. In our initial meeting she explained options for what we wanted to achieve and answered our questions. When we agreed to retain her, we signed a letter of engagement that detailed her scope of work and fees. Her website provides a list of ...fees for specific services. When we received the drafts of our documents she very promptly and thoroughly answered our questions. Once the documents were executed, she provided us with paper originals and electronic copies. Making appointments was easy and with two locations we could meet where most convenient for us. She took sufficient time with us and didn’t make us feel rushed. She has good credentials, was knowledgeable, professional and pleasant to deal with. We were very pleased with our experience.

Wills and Death documents

Very pleased with all functions of this Law Firm. Started with making a call to the office whereby I spoke initially with Samantha. She was courteous and helpful. I first inquired with several questions and this law firm sent out pricing right away without any commitment. I changed my appointment... a few times with ease. When we met with Lauren Jackson in her new office in Elgin off of Randall Road, the building is beautiful and easy to get to with ample parking. She was personable, knowledgeable and ready to answer any questions we had. The whole process was done with ease, with end result of all our Wills and Legal Death documents done, and the price was exactly as they quoted. Highly Recommend!

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
