Estate Planning 40%

My focus is on getting young families set up with wills in order to ensure their minor children would be taken care of as they would wish in the event both parents died. Additional documents prepared in a typical estate plan include healthcare directives, powers of attorney for healthcare, and powers of attorney for financial matters.

Posted by Mary | June 15, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Wills & Living Wills

Efficient, smart and accommodating

Krista was able to answer all questions knowledgeably and intelligently about setting up the wills for my Mom and Dad. She also was willing to meet with us at our convenience, even coming down to where Mom and Dad live in assisted living in order to get things squared away easily. She is very easy ...to work with and we are very confident in her work. Her work and attitude is very professional, and she is also very accessible and explains things well to laymen like us. We will continue to use her for our legal needs.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
