I cannot praise Ms. Fernandez enough! She is a competent lawyer, an active listener and truly cares about her clients. I felt completely at ease, allowing her to handle my will/trust documents. Everything was done well, thoroughly and to my satisfaction. When it is time to revise/review my document, I will be returning to Ms. Fernandez.

Brigid assisted me in obtaining Veteran Aid & Attendance Benefits for my mother based on my father's military service in Korea. My father passed away several years ago and my mom has Alzheimers and her care is very expensive. Brigid handled all the paperwork and filing of benefits on behalf of my mother. Brigid and everyone at Martha Brown were extremely helpful. We were successful in getting my mom approved for benefits.

Brigid assisted us in establishing our wills, financial POA's and healthcare POA's. She was efficient, knowledgeable and informative. She educated us on aspects of this process that were unfamiliar to us. We are confident that we have all of our bases covered. Her support staff was also very friendly and accomodating.
