It was great working with Hope. She is patient, knowledgeable and very informative. I had a will, trust, and power of attorneys established in one meeting. Her process is very effective by gathering information prior to the meeting. It was the best experience I have had with a lawyers.

Hope is a great listener and does great work. She spends the right amount of time to make sure that she answers all questions and gets us what we need. Thank you Hope.

We were able to take what is a somewhat daunting task, and Hope made it simple and straightforward. One short appointment, and we left with notarized wills. She is very knowledgeable and personable, and would recommend her services.

Hope was wonderful to work with when preparing my will and power of attorney. She explained the process thoroughly and made it very easy.

Hope Wood prepared a will for me. She addressed a lot of concerns I had and found the best ways to deal with certain situations. It was a very quick process. I highly recommend her.

My husband and I appreciate Hope's careful listening skills and her carefully considered answers. She answers our emails quickly, and we had the opportunity to do our will in a day. We needed time to mull over some of the options Hope gave us. She didn't rush us. Instead she helped us discuss our concerns and options. Then offered to send us the draft so we could be as slow and deliberate as we wanted. We whole-heartedly recommend Hope Wood, J.D. Enjoyed working with her and felt her fees are very reasonable.

Couldn’t have asked for a better experience getting our estate plan set up! Hope was extremely knowledgeable and made the process approachable. After filling out the quick questionnaire before the meeting, our wills were done in 2 hours with all issues thoroughly discusssed and planned for. I would highly recommend working with Hope and we absolutely will hire her in the future if needed.

Now retired, we have various significant assets, and needed a complete estate plan for transferring them to our children and grandchildren. Hope guided us through a very thorough process, and completed all of the legal documents (revocable trust, revised wills, power of attorney, living wills and medical power of attorney for each of us) in one 4-hour session, even working right through lunch. Very engaged, friendly, personable and professional, and very reasonable fee.

I was THRILLED to see how this attorney provided me with clarity about my legal issue (and its pricing). It is so refreshing to see transparency in pricing, services provided and outcomes available. I highly recommend her services!
