Honest, helpful, and professional

We needed to understand our options for our own estate as well as issues for supporting/assisting family members who are dependent on Medicaid. Charlotte provided clear guidance, answering key questions. We then decided to set up a trust and she was wonderful in helping us through that process, inc...luding topics such as providing support for someone on Medicaid and coordinating with a fiduciary to ensure all of the legal bases were covered.

Long term planning and assistance with VA benefits

Did excellent jog setting up and executing a long term plan for my mother. Which also involved assistance going through medical and financial audit for ALTCS and obtaining VA benifits.

Knowledgeable Personable Timely

Focused on serving clients in the most positive and experienced manner. Thoroughly explains the process and basis behind all actions. Completes work accurately and promptly. Has done estate documents for two generations of our family. Highly recommend for knowledge of law and ability to provide servi...ce with personal touch. Both invaluable and not easy to find based on my previous experiences. Premier attorney.

Responsive, thorough & professional

Ms. Johnson did an excellent job for us during a tough family situation. She always responded quickly and thoroughly, and provided a back up person to contact just in case she was unavailable when I needed something. She spoke clearly and was concise in her guidance. She made a difficult situation... much easier for us and we are very appreciative!

Estate planning and guardianship assistance

Charlotte Johnson is one of the most efficient and compassionate lawyers I have worked with over the years. My mother developed Alzheimer's and our family required assistance in creating the guardianship documents to allow me to represent her in legal matters. She passed away early in 2016 and Charlo...tte then helped us close her estate. She also assisted me recently with updating my trust documents, was confident in the new update requirements and did so in a timely manner. I would highly recommend her!!
