VERY helpful and easy to work with!

My wife and I have been avoiding the estate planning process for a long time, mainly because it requires thinking about difficult questions and unpleasant possibilities. Julia was able to teach us about all the options before helping us to choose which was right for us. We ultimately decided to set u...p a trust, and she was able to answer all of our questions about both wills and trusts before we made that decision. Julia has an easy and patient manner and helped us navigate the uncomfortable topics with a grace that I would dare say is not common among all estate planning attorneys. She provided us with documentation that is organized and easy to understand, and which we can consider a living document; as our family grows and changes, so can our trust. We will most certainly be returning to Julia for assistance when that need arises.

Estate Planning

I thought I could do a simple estate plan myself with the help of some top rated software. However, after several hours of research I was not confident in the results. A friend highly recommended Kellogg & Palzer, so we got in contact with Julia there. She is friendly, knowledgeable, and a joy to wor...k with. She had so many great ideas that we never would have thought of. We were extremely pleased and confident with the results. We highly recommend her.

Easier than I thought it would be!

Julia did an amazing job on my estate plan. Before we met in person she sent me a planning document to help me prepare. When we met she brought up things that I really hadn’t thought about to make sure they were included to my wishes and expectations. On signing day, we once again went through eve...rything to ensure that my plan was accurate and complete. I had put this off for sometime and I’m so glad to have it done in a quick and easy way.

Probate and Estate Planning

Julia is wonderful! She helped me take care of my late husband's estate through probate as well as drafting a new will for myself. It was a hard time for me and Julia was extremely kind and compassionate throughout the whole process. Her office uses a program called MyCase which is very helpful wh...en dealing with large amounts of paperwork. I could upload everything into the program and Julia took care of all of it. I never once felt overwhelmed with massive amounts of paperwork I didn't understand. I highly recommend her for any estate planning!

Estate Planning

JULIA was very professional and knowledgeable. She was extremely helpful and patient as we worked through developing our first will and estate plan. I would very highly recommend JULIA for these services.
