Joan Watke

Joni was extremely professional, knowledgable and efficient in handling the estate for my late mother. Appointment times were very convenient and accommodating to my schedule. The compassion that Joni showed to my family during our time of sadness was very comforting and reassuring. I would and do... highly recommend this law firm.

I have hired Joan for both business and family needs. Joan has constructed my will and has given excellent advise regarding it's structure where it best serves our future needs. Recently I sold a business and Joan was able to give me advise on how to move forward with regards to taking care of my f...amily legally if I were to pass away. She is always available and quick to get results. Her insight and advise have proved to be beneficial and I highly recommend her!

I engaged Joni after establishing a guardianship & conservatorship for my 93 year-old mother's second husband who had developed dementia and who was being physcially abusive to my mother. Joni was recommended by the attorney who had assisted with the guardianship since it appeared litigation might b...ecome necessary to separate the two individuals and achieve some division of assets and support. Our concern was to avoid divorce which might have jeopardized spousal rights to the husband's pension. Joni very capably guided us through a very fair settlement agreement while being very understanding of the special needs of the elderly individuals involved. We managed to avoid adversarial court proceedings involving my mother and her husband while dealing with some potentially touchy personal and financial issues. At the same time, I felt confident that Joni would be quite effective at representing our interests if matters became more controversial and required more formal legal actions. Joni was very fair with her biling and I feel she provided the right level of assistance with concern for keeping overall costs within reason for this engagement. I would hignly recommend Joni as legal counsel to assist in dealing with difficult family issues involving the elderly as a result of this experience.
