Excellent

We hired Marisha to restate our trust. She was a delight to work with, always patient and answering our many questions. Every step of the way she explained the procedure and process. We highly recommend her for your estate planning needs.

Needed expert help to restate previous trust

We were recently referred to Marisha by a long time family friend who is a professional wealth manager. We had become VERY disappointed in our original (20 years ago) local trust attorney who was clearly dragging out our attempted process with multiple meetings, hours of interaction costing thousand'...s with no clear end in sight... only to then say "we need to create a new trust". What happened to our 6 billable hours ? He couldn't answer that question so we were now DONE with him. (Later hearing similar complaint's from local business owners and personal acquaintances over the next years). Referred to Marisha, she met with us initially to hear our desires. She made the process very friendly, understandable, procedural and simply easy compared to our last experience. Even gave a fixed estimated fee. Within a few weeks discussed the parameters up front, quickly delivered our restated trust in a complete new binder. Marisha also explained in detail (taking 2 of hers hours) the next steps and answered all questions completing the process. We signed updated documents, gave thumbprints and out the door. We feel our 2 grown children and us as local business owners are now in much better hands going forward personally, financially, tax and estate wise.

Most trustworthy esq. with in-depth estate related knowledge

It is truly rare to find a lawyer whom you can trust 110%. One of my trusting colleagues recommended all of us on campus for those who were seeking an estate lawyer. Her experience with esq. Charbonnet was exceptionally over-the-top. I kept her name and phone # in my contact. Indeed, esq. Marisha Cha...rbonnet was patiently detailed, peacefully kind, insightfully professional, and deeply understanding of her clients' needs. Her estate planning knowledge including probate matters is absolutely up-to-date. As I go through my husband initiated divorce, I am gratefuly that I have her as my estate lawyer. I just signed the "new" living trust with esq. Charbonnet for my young adult son. Also, her collaborative work relations with my family lawyers has been exemplary. It is important to keep good lawyers on your side. Her network of lawyers in other areas of law is as trustworthy as she is. Ask not, have not. Ask her, if you need any referrals, she will recommend you another great lawyer just like herself. I cannot fathom how blessed we are to have lawyers like esq. Charbonnet

Highly recommend

We came to Marisha to set up a living trust for us, and she impressed us from the beginning. She explained everything in detail, answered all our questions, and made the process very pleasant. I would recommend her to anyone with legal matters. We are so happy we found her. She is OUTSTANDING!

Marisha Charbonnet checks all the Boxes

We asked a number of our trusted friends to recommend an Attorney to work with us on our Estate Plan. Marisha Charbonnet was strongly recommended by an Attorney friend. After meeting with Marisha and another highly regarded Attorney, we selected Marisha and the Family Security Law Group. Marisha s...killfully guided us through the various stages of our Plan. She explained each section of the Plan and then asked us pertinent questions that were specific to our personal situations. The Key is that we fully understood what we were being asked - there was no guesswork. Marisha was particularly helpful in guiding us through the distribution of assets. When we got stuck, she helped us by providing alternatives which allowed us to reach satisfactory conclusions. Finally, when it came time to sign all the forms, Marisha was very detailed and thorough in assisting us in completing this important task. We received everything we expected from Marisha and the Family Security Law Group and have no reservations in strongly recommending them to our friends. In fact, I have already recommended them to a close friend who just started considering a Revocable Trust of his own.
