Estate Plan Update
I've known Lisa for 16 years & referred her many times. Lisa and Claire do a great job for their clients. We had our plan done with them several years ago and just made some updates. They were quick, efficient, and very easy to work with. Thank you!

Knowledgeable and wonderful to work with
Our family has used Lisa and her services for many years, in fact we had such a good experience that we followed her when she moved to her current practice.

Great common sense lawyer, always a pleasure
We have known Lisa for 7 years as she did some previous trust work for us with excellent results. Our family trust required updates and we went again to Lisa due to the great experience from the past.

Recommendation
I had the pleasure of hiring Lisa for a very difficult situation regarding my mother. After our initial phone call, Lisa graciously met us at Banner Hospital where my mother was being treated for 3 types of cancer. She sensitively attained all of the information required to make my mother's will and ...

Progressive, high quality estate planning lawyer in Scottsdale

"I endorse this lawyer because she is an energetic and caring lawyer who knows how to ask the right questions and design a superlative trust based estate plan using the latest tools, techniques, and theories for any size estate. Whether you are new to estate planning or need to revisit your outdated estate plan, you will be happy you met and worked with Lisa. I encourage you to call her today."
"Lisa has become really familiar with gun trusts. And her knowledge is certainly not merely theoretical. She is a gun owner herself, and enjoys talking about shooting. Plus she and I worked on various probate cases a few years ago, so I know she is familiar with estate planning and probate issues. A fair number of estate planning attorneys approach the subject from a theoretical standpoint, but they make mistakes because they haven't had to deal with the aftermath when things weren't set up properly. Lisa has had personal experience with estate planning and probate issues, and she brings that experience to bear when helping her clients."
"I endorse this lawyer for estate planning, especially for any gun-owning families in Arizona. Lisa is a respected colleague in the niche area of gun trust planning, and an excellent resource for both attorneys and clients."
"I endorse this lawyer. Lisa is a fine attorney with great expertise in wills and trust and estate administration. She has many years of experience in working with clients in this area of law. She is thorough, effective and her clients love to work with her. I strongly recommend her."
