Kari is professional, prompt, knowledgeable and a delight to work with. I asked a lot of questions about writing a will, and she answered every one of them. The will she produced was exactly what I was looking for, and she was more than willing to accommodate my schedule, meeting me at my house to go over the specifics, and responding quickly to my email communications. I plan on working with Kari in the future on other matters related to my estate and would highly recommend her.
