Absolute best experience! Explained the process of title and estate so even I understood it. Jenny especially took so much time and was very patient with me. Highly Recommend!
After my Grandmother passed away, I found that I needed to hire an attorney who could help me through the estate process. The team has been fantastic and has guided me through the entire process.
I can only say “Thank you” to your law firm. It has been three years since we have been working together. You have been so helpful to me as a person who had never done this before. I want to thank Maggie and Courtney, who have been working so patiently with me on all the questions that I had in this case. I want to thank Atty. David for all that he has done in this case. He was there with us in the courthouse to represent us in an outstanding way.
They were extremely motivated to answer the questions I had. Their information I received has helped me so much & lifted tons of weight from my shoulders. I can relax now after a year of uncertainty. My case was opened & closed in a couple days. Great job to the group I worked with.
The paralegal and attorney assigned to our case have represented our interest in a very professional manner all the while communicating by phone and email to keep us up to date on the progress at every step.
I would have no problem recommending your law firm to anyone who would need help with wills and any other legal issues. Thanks again for your great help and support. God bless
