Trustworthy, fairly priced, and easy to work with

I couldn’t be happier with the service I received from Emily and her office. She took what felt like a complicated situation with my documents and made it straightforward and manageable. On top of that, she helped me think ahead with some planning I hadn’t even considered. The fees were very reaso...nable for the level of expertise. Having someone who understands both the tax side and the legal side made a huge difference — Emily explained things clearly and gave me confidence that everything was being handled the right way. I’d recommend her without hesitation to anyone who needs help with estate planning, trusts, or related matters.

Owner / Master Trainer

I came to Emily looking to create a living will. As a business owner, I know the value of having everything prepared in advance. Emily answered all of my questions, was very nurturing and caring when speaking about sensitive information - it is never easy to speak of and plan for one's own death. ... Emily made the process pain free and simple. I highly recommend Emily for your estate planning needs!

Excellence in estate planning

Emily's expertise in estate planning is remarkable. My situation in writing a will required special consideration as we included a testamentary trust for handling some funds in a very particular manner. Emily handled this project in a thoroughly professional manner. I would confidently rely on her... expertise if I needed similar work done in the future.

Quick and efficient

Emily prepared my will and associated papers quickly and efficiently. She also helped me with an association situation, regarding filing for a nonprofit corporation status with the State of Colorado. I had research much info, but needed guidance before completing the transaction. She was very help...ful and cost-effective.

Probate help

During the course of selling my dad's house we found there were problems with my mom's estate which could delay the sell. Emily was very quick and helpful in getting the issues resolved in a very timely manner. She did an excellent job.

  • 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.
