Legal Services for our Trust

Debra and her team do an outstanding job of providing excellent legal service in preparing and updating a trust. We had her create our trust a few years ago, she assisted us when we bought a new home to take the title of the deed in the right manner and just completed an update to our trust and wil...ls. We appreciate the great service from her and her staff. I highly recommend you use her services for your legal needs.

Very satisfied

We needed a lawyer to advise us on some family matters as well as a family trust. Debbie listened to our concerns, advised us with some valuable information, and setup a trust for us. The staff at her practice was also very helpful, and kept us in the loop at all times. We are very satisfied with ...the service that we received, and we would recommend Debbie to anyone seeking advice and service for family trusts and related matters.

Setting up a Trust

Ms. Streeter helped me set up a Family Trust after my husband's death. It was not an easy time for me but I felt very comfortable working with Ms. Streeter and her associates, my questions were answered and everything was dealt with in a very considerate, professional and efficient manner.

Responsive and smart

A trusted advisor recommended Debra to review and update our trust. She and her staff were responsive and helpful for our needs. When there was an issue in my Father's trust needs, Debra came to his house, listened to our perspectives, and provided the needed legal results.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
