Carlee is an excellent lawyer who I trust to handle my own Will/Trust. She is very well respected in the community and I have seen her results. I highly endorse this lawyer!

I highly recommend Carlee Gonzales, if you need a simple will or have a more complex estate that requires sophisticated planning. She is dedicated to her clients and she focuses exclusively on estate planning services to provide the highest quality of service to her clients.

I've referred several estate planning clients to Carlee, and she's been able to quickly assist them each and every time. Each of those clients has also reported back to me that they enjoyed working with her, and wanted the opportunity to work with her again in the future. I'm happy to continue referring my estate planning matters to Carlee.
