Madeline helped me navigate a dispute regarding a Family Trust. After some Trust funds had been used improperly, she prepared a Trust Agreement and a promissory note. She worked with my sibling's attorney to come up with a fair agreement. She helped me stand up for myself in a difficult situation.

We hired Gauthier & Associates to create new wills and related documents for us. We found Madeline Gauthier to be knowledgeable, friendly, supportive, accessible, and responsive to all our questions. We strongly recommend her services.

I had engaged with an attorney to help with my father's estate. She strung me along for two months, telling me filings had been made, documents "in the mail". Deadlines were coming to transfer assets and discovered she had done nothing at all. I called Jason and Madeline and they jumped in right away. They got what they needed from the prior attorney and had my court docs for me the next day so I could move forward with a property sale. Jason is responsive and educated me on the probate process, walking me through every step. Truly saved the day, and I cannot thank them enough. You want to hire these people, without hesitation.

Madeline was able to explain all that legalese easily and simply. And she asked the right questions to understand what we really were aiming for and how she could provide that for us. Her assistants were capable and professional. It was reassuring and calming to work with her and her small focused group.

Madeline pushed me past the big hurdle we all think about and put off - estate planning. She listened to me, broke things down, and developed a great plan that puts my mind at ease. She is highly organized, moves in a timely manner, and clearly speaks her thoughts and concerns. I do not hesitate to recommend Madeline and her team. They are awesome.

Many years ago Madeline worked with us to write our wills. We were impressed by how thorough and thoughtful she was with us, helping us to think about many issues that we had not considered. We recently hired her again to update our wills now that our children are grown. We are Canadians living in the US and wanted to make sure we were protecting ourselves and our children from international tax issues etc.. Madeline was very knowledgeable and gave us excellent advice. We appreciate all her help and highly recommend her.

I had Madeline recommended to me by my CPA. She helped my family redo my parents' wills and power of attorneys. She was so patient with them, clearly knowledgeable and great to work with. And let me emphasize patient - she explained everything so well. Her office staff was great too.

I needed a Trust Fund set-up for my Special Needs adult son, and Madeline's name was given to me. She couldn't have been better. She is very easy to work with, and extremely knowledgeable, thoughtful and pleasant. It is very comforting to know that my son will be taken care of after I die.

We moved to WA from another state and needed to update our wills and health care directives, particularly since the old ones were from when our daughter was a child and is now grown and married. We contacted Madeline based on her resume and other reviews. We knew exactly how we wanted our estate divided and our desired health care directives. She listened carefully and made excellent suggestions for legal purposes while accomplishing what we wanted. We would highly recommend her services for any estate from the simplest to one highly complicated.

Many years ago Madeline worked with us to write our wills. We were impressed by how thorough and thoughtful she was with us, helping us to think about many issues that we had not considered. We recently hired her again to update our wills now that our children are grown. We are Canadians living in the US and wanted to make sure we were protecting ourselves and our children from international tax issues etc.. Madeline was very knowledgeable and gave us excellent advice. We appreciate all her help and highly recommend her.

I had Madeline recommended to me by my CPA. She helped my family redo my parents' wills and power of attorneys. She was so patient with them, clearly knowledgeable and great to work with. And let me emphasize patient - she explained everything so well. Her office staff was great too.

I needed a Trust Fund set-up for my Special Needs adult son, and Madeline's name was given to me. She couldn't have been better. She is very easy to work with, and extremely knowledgeable, thoughtful and pleasant. It is very comforting to know that my son will be taken care of after I die.

We moved to WA from another state and needed to update our wills and health care directives, particularly since the old ones were from when our daughter was a child and is now grown and married. We contacted Madeline based on her resume and other reviews. We knew exactly how we wanted our estate divided and our desired health care directives. She listened carefully and made excellent suggestions for legal purposes while accomplishing what we wanted. We would highly recommend her services for any estate from the simplest to one highly complicated.

Madeline helped me navigate a dispute regarding a Family Trust. After some Trust funds had been used improperly, she prepared a Trust Agreement and a promissory note. She worked with my sibling's attorney to come up with a fair agreement. She helped me stand up for myself in a difficult situation.

We hired Gauthier & Associates to create new wills and related documents for us. We found Madeline Gauthier to be knowledgeable, friendly, supportive, accessible, and responsive to all our questions. We strongly recommend her services.

I had engaged with an attorney to help with my father's estate. She strung me along for two months, telling me filings had been made, documents "in the mail". Deadlines were coming to transfer assets and discovered she had done nothing at all. I called Jason and Madeline and they jumped in right away. They got what they needed from the prior attorney and had my court docs for me the next day so I could move forward with a property sale. Jason is responsive and educated me on the probate process, walking me through every step. Truly saved the day, and I cannot thank them enough. You want to hire these people, without hesitation.

Madeline was able to explain all that legalese easily and simply. And she asked the right questions to understand what we really were aiming for and how she could provide that for us. Her assistants were capable and professional. It was reassuring and calming to work with her and her small focused group.

Madeline pushed me past the big hurdle we all think about and put off - estate planning. She listened to me, broke things down, and developed a great plan that puts my mind at ease. She is highly organized, moves in a timely manner, and clearly speaks her thoughts and concerns. I do not hesitate to recommend Madeline and her team. They are awesome.
