I am facing a serious surgery and it was important to me that my affairs be in order, Mr. Petersen was recommended to me by one of my most successful friends.

Jeff and his staff were very professional. All my questions were answered and I feel he, and his staff, were fully competent. They prepared an estate plan for me that exactly met my needs. I would highly recommend Jeff and Three Rivers Law Center.

We worked with Jeff's assistant ahead of time to prepare our estate planning worksheets ahead of our meeting with Jeff, and were always greeted in polite and responsive manner through that process.

I sincerely apologize for your lengthy wait in our Vancouver office. I assure you that is not the norm in my practice. I had some scanning issues with my previous appointment and what should have taken 1 hour ended up taking about 95 minutes. I also apologize for not at least checking in with you while you waited. That was unprofessional and unacceptable. I would have done the same thing if I had been in your situation. I hope to get another chance to work with you on your estate plan. Let me or my staff know if you’re interested in setting up another appointment. Thank you for your valuable time. Sincerely, Jeff
