Estate Planning Update

We moved back to AZ after 6 years in Virginia where our original AZ estate plan docs had been revised and updated to Virginia law. We researched lawyers in Scottsdale (our original AZ attorney had retired) and selected Ms. Phanse based on her credentials. We then followed with a brief interview wher...e she clearly outlined the scope and potential cost of the engagement. Ms. Phanse efficiently reviewed our docs and met with us to review all of the changes in AZ law that had occurred since our last AZ docs were prepared and she outlined the differences between AZ and VA law so that we understood the basis for all of the revisions. She also advised us and executed the necessary filings for setting up a couple of LLCs to hold our rental property. I was very satisfied with her clarity of communications as well as the timelines and quality of the work product.

Exceptional knowledge and service

I have been using Sonia for over six years in all aspects of my commercial real estate business. She has completed work for me in property acquisition and sales, leases, tenant relations and construction contracts. Her expertise in the field and meticulous work provide me with the confidence to highl...y recommend her for any job. She responds quickly to correspondence. Her pleasant personality shines in even the most difficult situations.

Living Trust and Prenuptual

I retained Sonia as my attorney to draft and record both my Living Trust (2012), and my Prenuptial Agreement (2016.) In both cases I was very satisfied with the finished product. In the case of the Living Trust, Sonia researched an unusual request and developed the specifics resulting in the compl...eted corporate document. Most recently, I had a several addendums inserted into the Living Trust. Sonia's work is complete, well-planned, documented, concise, very timely and in both cases confidence was invoked in Sonia and the legal system in general. I have high praise in order for Sonia and her team.
