Wonderful service!!

From start to finish Attorney Jeannine Broadnax made understanding estate planning easy. Before speaking with her I never even thought I had a need to get my affairs in order as I am healthy and not quite 50 years old yet. I hired her to handle estate planning not only for myself but for my mother as... well.

Very attentive....

Ms. Broadnax helped me with my father's estate after he passed away last year. She was very attentive and made sure that I understood what was going on in the case every step of the way. I would definitely recommend her to others for their estate planning or probate needs.

Jeannine Broadnax the attorney who was a blessing

Ms Broadnax was my lawyer for my probate case over my father's estate. She was a very personable young lady. Also very professional. When I reached out to her over the phone or through text, she always return my calls immediately. Which made my experience all the more pleasant. She really helped me n...avigate through this trying time, with her thoughts and ideas on how to handle some financial matters. And in a timely manner we had a lot of my issues resolved. She was truly a lifesaver, more than that she was truly a blessing in my life.

Attorney Broadnax... was accessible and efficient.
