Professional, knowledgeable, kind attorney
I have used Colleen Barmey as a trust attorney for 6 years. During many complicated and evolving circumstances, Colleen and her staff demonstrated extreme knowledge, efficiency, and empathy in difficult legal and personal crises. I recommend her strongly without reservation.
