Will Revision

I was looking for an atty to update my will, and when I found Sally Andrews, I realized how lucky I was. She's so comfortable to do business with - answers all your questions and gives much-needed advice. Her professionalism extends to her staff, Taylor and Kendall, who are super helpul. I trust h...er, I like her, and I know I'm in good hands. I highly recommend her to anyone needing attorney help and consultation. I consider meeting Sally one of my really lucky days!

Strong, smart, educated attorney

I met with Sally and her team to do my will and other matters. She was prepared and very efficient and up to date on the rules. I trusted her Help with decision making and it was an easy visit. Most everything is done before hand too. Will recommend.

Responsive, timely and excellent follow through

As her colleague, I knew Sally Andrews as a highly-skilled probate attorney. When I became her client, I benefited directly from her expertise. She understands the nuances of the probate courts, and she has excellent communication and negotiation styles. Her understanding of family dynamics in pr...obate matters was invaluable to me in setting my expectations. Overall, Sally Andrews was responsive, timely and had excellent follow through.

Estate Planning

I hired Ms. Andrews to update wills, etc, that she had originally worked on ten years ago for my mother and for me. I was surprised she remembered us as we hadn't really had to contact her for anything. We needed extensive updates to the will and powers of attorney (financial and medical). They we...re not your typical wills and we needed advice as to our options. Ms. Andrews worked diligently to get everything just right. We went over the materials carefully, and she was very patient in correcting some areas that I had misunderstood. I have already recommended her to several friends. I have total confidence in the work she did for us.

Was Great for Wills

I recently moved to Texas and had to redo my wills. We did an initial consultation to determine our needs. That was followed up with some back and forth documents and finally a session to review and explains everything. I found Sally to be personable and interested in my needs and my family. I de...finitely recommend Sally if you are looking to have your wills drafted.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
