Service provided by Gary L Winter
I have been very satisfied with the service provided by Gary. He is very knowledgeable, he explained what a Living Will & Trust is and how it works. He advised me that I didn't need a Special Needs Trust for my son. Gary also checks with me to see if there have been any changes in our family.
