Changed our business to an LLC

Karla helped us turn our business into an LLC business. She was very nice, helpful and friendly. (She also did our Will and Power of Attorney for us.) She made some very good suggestions that we would never have thought of for our type of business. She was good at listening to what we wanted, but als...o to nicely point out some stuff that might not benefit us. In the end, it was our decision, but I liked the fact that she told us what she thought but did what we wanted. I ended up having to do some other stuff myself that was not included in what she was going to do and I didn't know what I was doing. The phone calls, filling out forms, etc. was very overwhelming for me. I didn't know what I was doing and the people on the other end of the phone calls were not very nice and supporting to me. I had to call and email Karla quite a few times because I needed help, and even though this was not part of what I paid her to do, she couldn't have been more helpful, sweet and understanding. I even called her up crying and in a panic one time, and she was fantastic with me. She helped me get through 3 weeks of turmoil for me. She was very supportive and kept telling me to let her know if I needed anything else and she would help me with it. She was there for me every step of this ordeal and made sure I was doing things right so our business did not get into trouble because I didn't want to call a certain person or fill out the right paperwork. She kept telling me to hang in there, it would be over with soon and she was right! I couldn't have done it without her. She was so helpful and nice and friendly. She wanted me to keep her posted on everything I was going through even though it wasn't really part of what she got paid to do. I would recommend her to anyone. She is very knowledgeable with the business stuff and she also was fun to have do our Will and Power of Attorney. She even came over to our house to make it easier for us when we had to sign all the documents. She talked to my bookkeepers to make sure we were all on the same page about turning our business into an LLC. I wish we would of done this when we were younger, not when we are a few years away from retiring, but then I would of never had Karla as my lawyer. She made the wait worth it!
