Erin M Fairley

Erin made the estate planning process smooth and pain-free for me. I had previously contacted two other Seattle attorneys who turned me down as a client simply because an S-corp is part of the mix for me—you would think that most estate planning lawyers would have some experience dealing with S-corps..., but apparently not. Erin went out of her way to double-check that she was handling my S-corp correctly. She's low-key, personable, no-drama, organized, efficient and professional, and prices her services fairly, no pun intended. I'm confident referring anyone to Erin who needs the basic docs: Financial POA, Health Care POA, Advance Directives, Disposition of Remains, and of course, a Will. She supplies both official hard copies and PDF files of everything and also gives you tips about what else needs to be taken care of and understood, from setting up mutual fund beneficiaries to probate and estate taxes. I enjoyed discussing legal "what ifs" with her. Erin, you really made the whole thing easier than I expected! Of course, it does help—whomever you choose to draw up your documents—if you do some advance reading about estate planning and familiarize yourself with the vocabulary and basic concepts. Nolo Press, for example, publishes some good primers on the subject.

Having dealt with many lawyers in my adult life time Erin Fairly certainly stands out as exceptional in her client approach and total work ethic. Her professionalism and experience were strongly evident in her preparation and presentation of the various estate planning documents she prepared for my ...wife and myself. Her in-depth research to address legal matters concerning my wife's health issues were very beneficial, clarifying and ensuring all were well understood by my wife. Outstanding in all aspects of her performance, I have highly recommended her to family and friends.

I am pleased to write this review for Erin M. Fairley whom I have known for almost twenty years. Erin is an exceptional lady professionally and her legal work for me has been sterling and timely and with great understanding. She is also an extremely wise and kind counsellor with a comfortabl...e and charming personality. I can highly recommend Erin as a top-notch attorney for all legal affairs.
