About
I am grateful for the opportunity to serve clients in my estate planning practice. I am honored to be able to help clients express, and carry out, their most basic wishes for their family, and to assist them in preserving, protecting and transferring their personal and financial wealth to those they love, at the appropriate time. It is a joy to bring peace of mind to those whom I serve. I love living in rural Minnesota. I have been blessed with having the opportunity to live on a farm, in small communities, in metropolitan areas, and now in a rural setting. Most of all, it is the sense of community, feeling connected to that community, and being able to 'give back' to the community, that has been a gift to me.

We had a trust agreement drawn when we lived in another state and this needed amendment as well as our wills and health care directives. This was accomplished in a very orderly and timely manner. All documents and papers were ready when promised. We appreciated the professionalism Ms. Doebbert displayed.
JoEllen took on our case and used a portion of our retainer, then dropped the case because she didn't want to file against the person assigned as the administrator of the will. Why did she do this? Because the mentioned administrator was a friend of JoEllen's. She knew this from the time she took the case and should not have taken on the case. As our fiduciary agent she is required to represent her client, and only her client. While she did return the balance of the retainer, her actions has cost us time. One interesting charge is the cost of JoEllen to speak with her friend, the administrator, on the phone. The net result is we have retained a real law firm with a full staff that charges less per hour, and did more work for us in an effort to gain our business.
