"I congratulate this lawyer for her intelligent, thoughful answers to questions posted on avvo.com and will keep her in mind if I need to refer a client to an Arizona probate or trust attorney."
"I have known Phoebe for about four years. Phoebe is an outstanding estate planning attorney whose legal expertise is highly recognized by her peers. In addition to her technical knowledge, Phoebe puts her clients at ease by ensuring their plans are properly implemented which many estate planning lawyers fail to do. In addition to her thorough knowledge of the law, Phoebe is a creative and an effective advocate for her clients. I frequently refer clients to Phoebe and recently referred my own parents to her."
"I endorse this lawyer. I have worked with Phoebe on an estate litigation matter. She is certified by the Arizona State Bar in estate planning and very knowlegable in her field. She takes a compassionate approach with her clients and always has thier best interests as the primary objective. She is an amazing attorney and I highly recommend her to my clients and anyone looking for an estate planning attorney!"
