Kendra Kaldor Bowen

I had reached out to Kendra because my Trust was over 20 years old and my life had changed so I felt sure my Trust should too. After reviewing my old Trust, she provided me with an easy to follow workbook. Throughout the process, I appreciated how she made herself available to answer my questio...ns and when it was completed met me in person to review and notarize. I am very pleased with Kendra's service and would recommend her to help anyone with the critical and somewhat emotional preparation of a Trust and Will.

Knowledgeable, Professional, Delight to Work With

Kendra delivered a comprehensive plan that addressed all our estate planning needs. Patient and professional, Kendra truly listened to our concerns about some of the most difficult personal and financial decisions that we will ever make. We signed our final documents feeling confident that Kendra h...elped us craft a comprehensive estate plan that will protect us during our lifetime and will eventually ensure the smooth transition of everything we've taken a lifetime to build.

Excellent Attorney. Very knowledgeable

Kendra was wonderful. She quickly grasped the complexities of our estate, answered all of our questions and was extremely professional. We couldn't have asked for more! We would highly recommend her for all estate planning needs.

Efficient and Thoughtful Lawyer

My husband and I are both busy and really liked working with her. She helped us in choosing guardians for our kids and led us through the thought process with much care and TLC. I appreciate the flat fee method of charging for the services rather than billable hours. Highly recommend Kendra.
