Confirmed legal docs in place and suggested creating a mini video as well to clearly reiterate wishes. Great questions and manner.

My mother had a stroke and we need advise with assets. We were given advise on how the process works and direction on next steps.

legal experience
I needed legal assistance in order to get custody of my special needs nephew. After contacting Sharon Almaguer, she immediately started working on my case. It seemed to me that it was taking A LONG time to take care of the issue, but Sharon knew what she was doing. She knew what the law required, and I certainly did not. When we finally went to court to appear in front of the judge, Sharon had every single detail covered so well that the judge approved my petition in a matter of minutes without even asking me or my nephew any questions. I was very impressed with the work Sharon had done on my behalf.

Complex remote house closing
My mother had a home in Mission, Texas and moved to Iowa to be close to the rest of the family after my step-father passed. They didn't have a will. My step-father had five children and one passed a few months after he did. That son two grown daughters and a minor child. This became very complicated. Sharon very professionally helped us work through all the legal with all the affidavit of heirships and trust for the minor child. She worked with the deed company on the closing documents. This was complex with eight sellers all living remotely in Iowa. I would highly recommend Sharon! Rod

Civic Minded Lawyer Worthy of Trust: Clearly not just "in it for the money," but for Justice and Compassion
Definitely! I do plan to redo my will with her, and she actually won my permanent respect and trust by showing her civic-mindedness and helping me deal with an out of state legal issue with my grandson and family. Now it is up to me to follow up, and plan to give my business to her, since a sense of civic and professional duty, and real public service, is evident in her work. I recommend her most highly.
