Excellent, sensitive, prompt, highest professional standards
Siobhan handled estate planning for us, and pointed out that previous planning had some notable gaps about which we'd not thought. After her review of the plan from another state, she clearly explained a more comprehensive plan that has given us confidence. Thank you, Siobhan!

Excellent attorney!
I would highly recommend the services of Attorney Siobhan Leger. She was very knowledgable and efficient. She also kept me informed on the status of my legal work and her responses to questions were always answered in a timely manner. Will use her services again in the future.

Replied last November 04, 2016Thank you so much for taking the time to let people know about your experience! Our firm is always ready to fight for our clients, but we do try to avoid unnecessary conflict, as that can add significant time delays (and costs!) to any transaction. I'm glad we were able to handle this transaction for you. Thanks again and take care.
