Professional, knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with

We hired Grifan to help us negotiate a dispute regarding the withholding of a deposit on a rental property. She was efficient and knowledgeable. She communicated every step of the way and provided adequate and professional advice to us as we navigated through this incredibly stressful and emotional...ly draining process. We could not have chosen a better attorney. She has become a true asset to our family and we couldn't be more thankful. I would highly recommend Grifan. Finding a better attorney would be difficult as I truly believe she is the best at what she does.

One of The Family

We have a new member of our family - estate lawyer, Grifan Cayce-Heathers. Not long after becoming a personal representative for an estate, my mom met Grifan through some mutual friends who had hired her to help with their mothers' estates. We could not have been luckier to have discovered a wonder...ful lawyer and person. Grifan was able to handle even the toughest situations with this estate and was extremely accessible at a moment's notice. In July, my mom was diagnosed with a terminal illness and again, Grifan came through for us. She visited Mom in the hospital, went out of her way to help us redraft POA, will and Trust documents, and answered all of our questions in a clear and timely manner. Since our Mom's death, Grifan and her team continue to make the difficult task of settling an estate very manageable. Being out of state, I feel comfortable emailing or calling Grifan with even the smallest questions. In the past 24 months, she truly has become one of our family.

Making our will

We had been putting off making our will because we didn't want to deal with lawyers or facing our own mortality. When I got pregnant with our second, we couldn't put it off anymore, and got a recommendation from a friend for Grifan Cayce. She was fantastic!! It was more like talking to a friend than ...planning out a will, and she made the process simple and painless. She executed the documents efficiently and helped us through all the legaleze and answered every question we had. I highly recommend Ms. Cayce!

Personal service with compassion and warmth!

I needed a Power of Attorney for my Mother and we were on a time crunch. Grifan Cayce-Heathers got us right in even though she had a full schedule. She was wonderful with her counsel for my Mother who has early dementia and needed patient explanation and re-explanation. I left feeling well represe...nted and committed to returning for future legal needs.

An excellent attorney

After having our son, my husband and I decided it was time to prepare our will. This is of course not something anyone wants to do or think about especially at the young age of 30. Grifan made this process so comfortable and painless. It was easy to have an open and honest conversation with her and... she was so knowledgable. I came 'prepared' with everything I needed but Grifan brought up things I had not even thought about! That is what a good attorney should do. The whole process took less than 3 weeks. We now have the peace of mind that if anything happens to us, our wishes will be granted. Thank you Grifan.
