Excellent attorney.,
Probably one of nicest and most friendly attorneys I have met. Very easy to talk with and answered all our questions. We hired her to draw up our trust. We can rest at ease that it is done.

Probate Consultation
I contacted Leah's office seeking an in-person consultation, and was told the fee for a half hour is $275. There were no appts. available while I was in town so I agreed to a Zoom meeting. I would be Emailed details and instructions beforehand. Didn't happen. My phone rings at the time I was suppose...

Replied last September 20, 2021Victoria, I’m sorry to hear you found no value in our consultation. Before we ended our call, I did ask you if you had any further questions and you did not. Additionally, I followed up with you and ask if you had additional questions or specific questions or if I could help you any further and you didn’t respond. Handling a formal probate administration without an attorney is an overwhelming task and your frustration with the process isn’t surprising. When we spoke you had general questions about how to proceed in your administration. I’ve been practicing probate for over 17 years and I know the next steps for your case (or any case) without seeing your specific documents. You told me where you were and asked what to do next. I answered with specificity, even giving you the contact information for other professionals who could help you with your next steps. Unfortunately, I don’t think you liked the answers to some of your questions. It’s my duty to be honest and not sugar coat the process. Probate is complex and, as I said in our call, having a half-hour consultation will not give you the knowledge to handle the legal administration of a case pro per (without an attorney). If all the probate legal questions could be answered in a half hour or even hour consultation (whether it be in person, zoom, or telephone), then probate wouldn’t need specialist attorneys to manage the demands and specifics of the courts and probate code. I wish you the best of luck and if you have more specific questions about your case, feel free to respond to my email or give me a call back and I’d be willing to assist you. Take care.

Efficient & Caring
When faced with the probate process we were completely at sea. She helped us through every step from the opening of probate to the final disposition. Her small office allowed for fast personal attention to any question or concern you may have. We could not have asked for better legal representatio...
