Andrew has been spot on throughout a long and emotional situation after her husband, David Briggs, died. His children convinced her that her and her husband needed a medicaid divorce to protect the money and had him sign a POA and a will while in the hospital just weeks before his death. We did not see the manipulation until after he died and they tried to keep it from her. These were people she hugged and had in her home for 14 years for holidays. Andrew is a star

Mr. Shotwell was extremely helpful in navigating us through the process of setting up a will and trust. He spent time throughout the whole process to work through many aspects and details. At our final review of the documents I felt secure that my family was thoroughly protected because of the details.

I've worked with Andrew for several years and he has assisted us with the drafting of our business documents and the review of our trust documents. He has kept us up to date on all corporate filings and assisted in our corporate minutes. In instances where he may not have the answer, he quickly researches the issue and responds promptly.
