Ms. Christian worked with my parents over a decade ago to set up their land based business and conduct estate planning using a family trust that would withstand the test of time in the form of multiple generations, possible divorces of family members, etc. No one expected we'd need the estate planning Ms. Christian did for us quite so soon. With the sudden passing of my parents, I was left as executor of their estates and operating manager and president of the family business. Due to Ms. Christian's extremely thorough work when designing the trust, she was able to help me wade through the complexities and unforeseen (on my part) difficulties associated with managing two estates and the family businesses. Ms. Christian's extremely thorough and detail oriented nature made a very complicated family affair run smoothly and effectively. I have had many attorneys in the past, but none that took such careful time explaining all the steps of the process and then making it all happen exactly as described. The loss of both my parents in such a short period of time left me shell-shocked, but I never once had to worry that the estate filings were done on time and correctly. She made a horrible time in my life so much easier because unlike other attornies I've worked with in the past, I realized that I could trust in her integrity, knowledge and ability to get the job done right. Honesty, integrity, and exceptional knowledge and skills are surprisingly difficult to find when looking for an attorney. My family and I hit the proverbial jackpot with Ms. Christian. As a side note - a few years before my parents' passing, there was a divorce in the family. The non-family member tried very hard and spent quite a lot of money with their own talented team of attorneys - trying to break the family trust to access assets that weren't theirs. The trust was written so well and so thoroughly by Ms. Christian that the judge wouldn't even agree to a hearing on the matter despite multiple requests and compelling arguments by the opposing counsel. Ms. Christian has also handled a number of corporate legal issues for our companies over the years. In all cases, her expertise provided exactly the advice needed to protect the company and resolve conflicts. My family and I will be forever grateful for her work.
