A fantastic lawyer

In addition to being very personable, Kathryn is intelligent, knowledgeable, and reliable. She walked me through all of the critical steps in executing my mother's trust; and, she smoothed over some very delicate issues with beneficiaries. There is no one whom I would recommend more more highly.

Best experience I've ever had with an attorney

I have used Kathryn for estate planning and administration. Her knowledge and expertise in these areas is extremely comprehensive. Kathryn's client service amazing and as a client you get the sense that she has your best interests in mind. She can explain complicated laws in simple terms and ask the ...right questions to ensure your estate plan is the right for you. My wife and I have recommended her to many friends and family for estate planning documents such as wills and trusts.
