Estate Plan - DONE!

We couldn't be more pleased with the service that Ms. Layne provided to our family. She asked great questions, was respectful, patient and understanding as we discussed issues with each other and made decisions and provided excellent and diplomatic advice when requested. When she delivered the co...mpleted plan to us, she had witnesses available to sign and notarize our documents while we waited and patiently reviewed each page with us to our satisfaction. We had very few changes to make but she made them immediately so we could continue the finalization process. It is such a relief to have our plan completed. It feels good to know that you've done all you can do to make the administration of your estate and providing of your family and pets as easy as you can. I cannot recommend Ms. Layne's services highly enough.

POA

Leanne helped set up a POA for my oldest son and my mother. She was great to work with and took the time to explain everything along the way. I highly recommend her services!

Over the top

My wife and I could not have been more satisfied with comprehensive detail, personalized touch and genuine concern in regards to our needs and desires of our family while drafting our living trust and wills. She made sure We understood each and every section and that if executed then that would be t...he vision and desire of which we desire.. Each of us were pleased with here attention to detail and thoughtfulness while addressing offering thoughtful suggestion and guidance in each of our request . We would wholeheartedly recommend her to others and will be return clients.

Very Informative Lawyer

As someone who had just graduated from college, I did not know much about the processes around POAs or HIPPA Medical Releases. Leanne was so helpful in walking me through this and making sure that I knew exactly what was going on at all times. I can't thank you enough for helping me through that and ...making sure that if anything were to ever happen to me it would be easier on my parents!

Excellent experience

Leanne helped us think through many issues we had not considered. She catered to our schedule and helped us every step of the way. She made planning for the worst, a good experience. Expensive, but worth the peace of mind.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I highly recommend Leanne for estate planning. She assisted my husband and I with our estate plans and provided sound legal advice which really resonated with me and most importantly my husband who is not an attorney. The package she prepared for us was comprehensive and she explained each document thoroughly. Thank you Leanne!"

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.
