Lori Wade did an excellent job settling my father’s estate. My parents died just three months apart, and my once-close family became splintered. My father named my brother-in-law and me as his co-trustees, which created an awkward and often contentious family dynamic. Ms. Wade was able to guide my brother-in-law and me through the process (we often disagreed) with good council in an unpleasant environment. I feel that her ability and kind and calm demeanor allowed the trust to get settled as efficiently as possible in a situation that could have devolved into further disagreements, resulting in significantly increasing the legal fees. Subsequently, I have retained Ms. Wade to assist me with several situations that required legal advice and, sometimes, involvement with a rental condominium. Each situation was resolved quickly after Ms. Wade’s involvement. I highly recommend Ms. Wade.
Lori has been my personal attorney for the past ten years, helping me navigate through some very complicated and difficult times following the death of my husband in 2010. Her vast experience with probate, settlement agreements, the sale of an out-of-state apartment complex, tax questions, and ultimately, my own estate plan, made my life so much less stressful, frightening and chaotic. She has been my rock, mentor, always there for me, offering her calm support, wisdom and the legal expertise in every challenge I faced. I so appreciated and valued her quick responses, availability and concrete get-the-job-done solutions to all of my legal issues.
Our family has had the pleasure to work with Lori Wade on many projects and over many years, which began with our own Family Trust, Estate Planning and Health Care decisions. We were comfortable with Lori from day-one, especially her sensitivity on delicate issues and the way in which she handled our concerns. We liked Lori from that point on and we have recommended her to many of our friends, and family members. After my retirement, I launched 501c3 nonprofit corporation. Lori was instrumental in setting up the corporation and filing the related documentation required to obtain a 501c3 designation. Lori also served on our Board for serval years. She is very talented, knowledgeable and has always provided us with well thought-out advice. Over the years, Lori has become our go to person for everything legal and we have never been disappointed. She has always treated us fairly and with integrity with billable hours and fees. Those are some of the reasons we feel Lori is the Best of Best and we continue to be two of her biggest fans! Last but not least Lori is a passionate animal lover and if you are too, you will quickly have a personal and professional relationship with her.
