Bettyjane Champlin

I interviewed several Estate Attorneys over the phone and felt most comfortable with B.J. for a variety of reasons, including; fees, demeanor, personality, reviews and gut instinct. If you're like me, the thought of dealing with any attorney is akin to buying a used car, you just hope for the best wi...th minimum time expended. B.J. was a pleasant surprise, here's why; She will gladly come to your home:o, she was always on time, she communicated frequently and I never needed to call and bug her, she does a lot of heavy lifting on charities, like getting you in touch with ones that suit your gift goals, provides contact names, did initial research, even provided literature from some, her fee is comprehensive and includes accompanying you to your financial institutions to change ownership or POD to your new trust if necessary, she makes no excuses and in fact made a small error and covered the cost herself, she DOES NOT nickel and dime you, her inclusive fee included every document I needed down to instruction for my pets. At the end of our collaboration, I felt like I had made a new, trustworthy friend that would be there should I require her professional expertise at some time in the future. The bottom line, I would recommend B.J. without reservation. P. S. I gave B.J. a 4 out of 5 on knowledge only because I was not in a position to evaluate her complete subject matter skills for this attribute.

Excellent Attorney! I was the real estate agent for client's of Bettyjane (we called her 'BJ') and represented BJ's clients in the sale of a home belonging to the trust. The trustees were two young women (daughters of deceased parents) who were out of town and inexperienced in selling homes and deali...ng with trusts...and were constantly being threatened by a sibling beneficiary (isn't there always one of those?). BJ was ALWAYS there to help guide them and helped them feel comfortable with the decisions being made. For me, BJ was always available and the few times I wasn't able to contact her, I quickly received a call back. Her demeanor was always professional, and confident and appeared to be very knowledgeable about trusts and estates. I very much would recommend her services.
