I appreciated your help in walking us through the intricacies of selling our house and buying a new property and your reviewing our documents thoroughly, so we understood what we were doing and the process.

Thanks for helping me get a fair settlement. I didn’t realize I was entitled to half of my husband’s pension and 401(k) as he had told me I wasn’t, and I believed him.

My husband told me I would have to live in my car if I ever left him, so I stayed in an abusive relationship for years. On our first visit, you convinced me that was not true, that I’d get a fair settlement and be able to fulfill my dream of going to nursing school….Thank you!

I didn’t think the system would give a father equal custody of his children, as I thought the system favored women. I have a 50/50 parenting plan and the kids are doing great. Even my ex and I are able to now get along better for the children’s sake. Thanks for your advice, wisdom and counsel.

My wife and I needed help with our estate planning. We appreciated the good advice, exploration of choices available, and the prompt and professional service as we were leaving on a trip. We had peace of mind when we left knowing we had taken care of things to avoid a burden on our children. Your fees were reasonable. Thanks again.
