We used Elizabeth to review our estate plans with us and redo a whole packet that consisted of a Will, Durable Power of Attorney, Advanced Healthcare Directives, Revocable trust and all related materials. Not only is she an extremely knowledgeable subject matter expert, she explains things in a way ...that makes it easy for folks like us to understand. I would highly recommend Elizabeth and will continue to use her myself in the future.

I was referred to miss Johnson through a community organization for a tax issue. She asked me to fill out a POA form and mail it to her. 4 days later I followed up with her, at which time she claimed to never have received it. In the interim she asked for me to resend the form and for a letter expla...ining my situation. I emailed her a thorough synopsis of what my situation was, including the tax years in question and also related a conversation I had with the tax board as to why the action was being taken. I also sent her a copy of the letter from FTB outlining the amount they were collecting. What followed were emails from her asking specific questions about why this action was happening, which tax years were we dealing with, what amount was being collected, and other things that were clearly stated in my first letter to her. She asked me to "describe my situation " so that she would know what to do for me. Her entreaty for me to describe my situation included no specifics. I wrote back that it was a vague question,and also it seemed from my perspective that she had not read my replies. She asked specific questions about my health. In my replies I pointed out where I had already answered the questions she repeated and also wrote that I didn't see how my health was relevant to the situation. To her credit she did explain what her motives were for inquiring about my health and in the same letter claimed I "was obviously annoyed and I should ask for another referral as we had had a communication breakdown. In my opinion the communication broke down when she repeatedly asked me for information that had already been provided in writing.(tax years in question, amount being collected, an specifics about the bank account in question). In some cases twice. When I answered theses repeated questions one by one pointing out when and where they had been answered and suggested that to me it seemed as if she weren't reading my replies, she recommended I should find so someone else to help me. I should point out that miss Johnson was doing this as a volunteer for the organization which referred me, it felt to me( especially because of the repeated questions and her vague request to describe my situation mentioned earlier) that she was not really interested in helping me. As a disabled person who has had to deal with many different agencies, it has been my experience that do-gooders who volunteer their time and effort are sometimes doing it not to really help humanity, but to assuage their own guilt. Also, it seems to me that because of all the repetition, that she was not really giving my issue very close attention. I'm certain she does better for her paying clients.

Eliz. has been a friend for many years. I hadn't needed a lawyer and she never pushed. But when I said I needed help she was there and took care of everything while educating me. She helped me see how important what I needed to do was. And what would happen if I hadn't have taken care of the issue. I... have also suggested her to others who have become clients and they were thrilled with all aspects of her work.

Elizabeth did an excellent job of explaining the Estate Planning and Power of Attorney process and all the available options to me. Her friendly demeanor, objectivity, attention to detail and ability to translate and break down complicated legal terms made her easy to work with. I can't reccomend he...r enough or honestly think of anyone else I'd rather have representing my interests.
