We used Patrick Taggart II to help us with our own will and also to help me with my aunt's estate after her death. Patrick was very detailed, knowledgeable, quick to respond to my calls, and made me feel comfortable in our conversations. Everything was done thoroughly and on time. His staff was very helpful.
I appreciate the immediate response I get from Patrick. He always knows what to do. He has helped my husband and I with our personal and business matters. Patrick has made every situation easier with his knowledge and expertise. What a blessing to the profession. Give him a try and you will see! =)

Business Purchase
Patrick helped me with the purchase of a business. He was very knowledgeable and expedient. He made excellent recommendations and kept the lines of communication open and clear. Although the purchase had some emotional components, Patrick kept me focused on the end result and now I am thoroughly enjoying my new business. I highly recommend Patrick and his firm of LaRowe, Gerlach & Roy.
