What Allison’s clients say:
We feel very secure knowing that our adult children will have an easier time with the estate when we are gone. We like the questions asked of us which generated ideas for handling the estate. Having the ‘end of life’ questions handled and in proper legal form is a big relief. – Janet R.
My old one [estate plan] was outdated, and I knew it. I just had been procrastinating about getting it fixed. Allison really impressed me with her knowledge and insights. She thought of things I hadn’t even realized I needed to know! She has such a grip on what I needed. She is the ultimate professional. – Kathleen D.
The process of setting up a Trust is daunting and I must convey that Allison displayed her knowledge and expertise in countless ways as she walked me through the necessary steps in order to begin and finalize my Trust. Allison’s professionalism dressed with patience, humor and kindliness contributed to a good experience. – Cynthia L.
