I contacted Karen for some legal advice and I am so relieved I did. Karen listened thoroughly, asked all the right questions, and was able to come up with a great game plan for me to follow with easy directions and sound advice. I could tell it was important to her that I not only got correct and helpful information but that I also understood everything she told me. She was a breath of fresh air, very kind, thorough, and relatable. I highly recommend her and will definitely get in touch with her again when I am ready to proceed past this initial consultation.
Karen made this daunting process of estate planning very simple and easy to understand. The process comes with combing through a lot of information and vernacular we are not familiar with while making sure we are making sound decisions for our family. Karen was there every step of the way, offering sound advice but still allowing us to make decisions that made sense for our family. There were many emotions (nervous, anxious) we felt when we first decided to follow through with our estate planning, but in the end, the only emotion we felt was relief and happiness that we completed the whole process with the guidance of Karen.
My wife and I had the pleasure of working with Karen for our first estate planning experience. She was not only helpful in drafting and finalizing the legal documents but also made sure we were at ease during the entire process. Her supportive demeanor helped us get through the process of making difficult choices for our family and we highly recommend her to anyone who needs a knowledgeable lawyer to guide them through the estate planning process.
Very on spot and attentive to what your needs are. Very easy to talk to and listen to what you say and what you need. I was very happy with the service and she provided and I've already referred several people to her better in need of a good attorney!
I went into the meeting with Karen expecting a basic will and trust and came out with a thorough estate planning document. Karen was easy to work with and answered all my questions completely. I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone needing assistance with estate planning documents and advice.
Karen was personal and professional. She helped my husband and I clarify our needs and then prepared all the legal documents. We highly recommend Karen to anyone seeking assistance with estate planning.
Karen is awesome! Very thorough and responsive. Made a complicated process much easier. Definitely recommend.
I had the great pleasure of having Karen prepare my Trust and Will. I was not sure what to expect. Karen proved to be an expert in this field. She wasted no time in preparing my documents and did it with the utmost accuracy. I felt as though I was in the best of hands at all time. Trusts are one of her specialty areas so she is well versed in all areas of estate planning. I have had many dealings with attorney's through the years but Karen rates as one of the most professional I have ever dealt with. I highly reccommend Karen for any type of legalities dealing with your estate, will or trust. She gets the job done and does it with accuracy and concern for the individual. I was presented with the finished product which was bound in a folder. I feel very relieved in knowing that my financial and personal effects will be taken care of long after I am gone. You will not be sorry if you hire Karen to get your personal affairs in order! Thank you Karen for a job well done!
My husband and I received top-notch service from Karen on several related documents: Revocable Living Trust, Certificate of Trust, Durable Powers of Attorney, Arizona Health Care Powers of Attorney, Durable Mental Health Care Powers of Attorney, and Living Wills. Whew! Right? She was knowledgeable and responsive. We appreciated that she took the time to explain the details of these very important items. Karen was a pleasure to work with, and we have already recommended her to our friends and family.
My wife and I needed to put together a family trust and really had no idea where to start. My employer offers a legal plan by Hyatt. That is where we found Karen. From the get go Karen was great , she told us what she needed to get started. And she made everything happen in a timely manner . If we ever had a question or need to add something to the document she was always just a email away. Always replied. Her office was comfortable , clean , and her staff is outstanding . My wife and I would highly recommend her !
