Cassie is one of the most respected and well researched attorneys I've worked with. Cassie is able to explain complex probate and real estate issues in a manner anyone can understand. I've learned so much from watching Cassie meticulously represent her clients with an extreme attention to detail. I am proud to be able to refer her to my clients.

my brother was arrested after a difficult struggle with addiction. She was always available to answer our questions and convinced the judge to let my brother get treatment for his addiction rather than rot in jail.
