Compasionate, thoughtful and TOUGH

My sister and I hired Laura to help with a dispute within our family Trust. It was a long, tough battle and when I was ready to throw in the towel- Laura made it possible for us to continue. She understood the emotional and financial turmoil I was going through and she just listened and helped with ...options. She never let me down, and when I felt bullied, she fought even harder. She never gave up, she never backed down- she just worked harder. When it was finally over I actually hated saying good by to her, she not only changed my opinion of Lawyers, she made me a believer in the system again. I will never forget her and will always consider her as MY Lawyer and my friend.

OUR NEW AWESOME ATTORNEY

Before posting our Laura Nelson review, I reviewed comments by other clients. I started to think about all of Laura’s traits, and decided there was no better way to describe her ability, personality, and competence than to use a collage of expressions posted by others. Some of these are: thorough, ...sincere, professional, pleasant, listened, responsive, trustworthy, self-assured, personable, went beyond, friendly, comfortable, knowledgeable, and informative to list a few! Incidentally, we agree with ALL THE ABOVE. Thank you Laura for your patience and help in completing our trust.

Trust documents

She was very thorough, and took the time to listen so when the process was complete you felt the sincerity of the process. Making a trust & will for me a realization of keeping it as simple an painless for my daughter when I do step over to the next space in life. The first step was difficult becaus...e it was a reality. Her compassion made it the procedure as kind and gentle as I think it could be. I would highly recommend Laura.

Laura Rose Nelson

This letter is written to strongly recommend Laura Rose Nelson in her capacity attorney at law, in particular as it relates to estate planning and trusts. We engaged Laura to review our individual trusts with the objectives of combining the two trusts into one as well as to update any other relevant... materials relating to health directives, wills, etc. She listened carefully to all off our concerns/wishes, answered our questions simply and completely. Ultimately, all of the documents created as a result were organized into one comprehensive notebook that is clearly understandable, with all the legal aspects fully and completely addressed. Laura’s expertise in the law is, without question, outstanding. The resultant product was detailed and thoroughly researched which gave us total confidence in her work. However, it is her manner of relating with us that gave us complete comfort in terms of the final result. She listened, asked questions when needed to clarify our wishes, offered suggestions and thoroughly reviewed everything she produced with us. She provided us with a warm, positive experience, not something one always associates with this topic. Her warmth, intelligence and knowledge, sensitivity, and organization are just a few of the qualities that make her a great attorney and advocate. We look forward to a long relationship with Laura. She is a star!!!
