Carolyn Coukos did an excellent, timely, and compassionate job of preparing my will, trust, and medical power of attorney. Her many years fulfilling clients' needs were apparent in her kind consideration and advice. Concern for the welfare and proper care of my pets was my highest priority. I was extremely pleased with the outcome and highly recommend Carolyn.

Ms. Coukos carefully considered what was needed for our wills, as well as for powers of attorney for health care and finances. She did not recommend unnecessary additional services, and even discovered an overcharge that she promptly refunded. She was very accommodating and her fees were extremely reasonable.

Carolyn worked with us through all the details of setting up our wills and trust, explaining everything along the way. She was professional, knowledgeable and helpful. It was a pleasure working with her

My sister knew her cancer was probably terminal, and did her best to be organized, but I found Carolyn and it was the best thing I could have done. Difficult family dynamics, husband with open-heart surgery, alienated daughter, anxious son, she handled it all and gave wonderful advice and set things up so my sister's wishes would be fulfilled. Carolyn works alone, not part of a huge downtown firm; she has the personal touch and a big heart, in addition to being very competent. Thank you so much.

Carolyn helped us with a will, trust, and a few other things that came up. She recommended the appropriate documents for us, her prices were very competitive, and she got things done in a very timely manner. We felt in very good hands with her and would absolutely recommend Carolyn.

Carolyn provided truly excellent legal advice and execution of my Estate documents. Her work was professional, personal, thorough and efficient. I had special circumstances that Carolyn provided great counsel and options to me toward landing on a plan that best met all my needs and concerns, pragmatically and compassionately. I am very pleased and thoroughly satisfied with my estate planning experience with Carolyn.

I contacted Carolyn to have my will set up. She was very professional and timely and made the process easy to understand. Her one on one attention to detail was reassuring. I highly recommend giving her a call for your estate needs.

We hired Carolyn Coukos to assist us in updating our wills and trust when we moved to Illinois from Florida. She came to our house when one of us found it difficult to travel. We are completely satisfied with her work and would highly recommend her to anyone.

After procrastinating for many years on our estate planning, Carolyn was very efficient in helping us get our plans in order. Carolyn was straightforward in her communication which made understanding the "legalese" so much easier and helped us make sound decisions. We feel secure that we have a strong plan in place. Thanks so much Carolyn!
