My cousin passed away last year in Scottsdale and we needed to find a good estate/probate lawyer to handle the estate, which was fairly complicated...we hired Phoebe Moffatt and she was exactly who we needed to guide us through the twists and turns of Arizona probate law and the process of administering a complicated estate with many beneficiaries. I served as the Personal Representative of the Estate and Phoebe and her assistant, Cami Barnella, were always there for me, helping me every step of the way through a very challenging year. I can't recommend her highly enough - she is a consummate professional who cares about her clients...

I went in for a initial consultation and I was expecting a high-level 20 minute discussion on revocable trusts. Surprisingly, Mrs.Moffatt went over specific details and spent over an hour with me on my goals along with sketching out a plan to cover all my beneficiary's. She was very thorough, has a great personality and I would highly recommend this attractive estate planner. Given she is booked 10-days out, it gives an indication on her popularity with her clients..

This past summer, I had the good fortune of hiring Phoebe Mofffat to review and revise my family's existing trusts. Aside from being delightful to speak with, she was timely, completely organized and attentive, communicated in a concise, clear manner, and her knowledge of the law was more than impressive. She accomplished quickly what I needed to achieve in a peaceful and comforting way. The planning documents that I was given at the end of our work together were meticulously organized and beautifully presented. I highly recommend Phoebe, and will refer her to everyone I know for their Trust and Estate Planning needs! She gives the legal community a great name!

My wife and I recently completed an update to our estate plan. Phoebe Moffat was recommended to us along with other attorneys. We chose Phoebe after our initial visit based on her intelligence, professionalism, knowledge, experience and sincerity and interest in dealing with our questions and building a thorough understanding of our needs and desires. She and her staff were efficient, provided very good ideas and alternatives while explaining options thoroughly and in layman's terms. She was patient in explaining concepts and alternatives including future considerations. The whole experience with Phoebe was educational and comforting, knowing that our estate is effectively protected for ourselves, our children, and grandchildren.

Phoebe was very professional, included all our requested changes and answered all our questions. She developed all the appropriate trusts for our situation, dual power of attorney, healthcare power of attorney. Our estate is now set up for every possible outcome that will protect our estate and still give our kids flexibility to continue the trust if their situation requires it. Her staff is very confident, nice, accurate and responsive.

Phoebe Moffatt is flat out fantastic to work with. She has an encyclopedic knowledge of the law and is obsessively up to date regarding legislation and upcoming tax law changes. Her delivered documents are well organized, flexible and very thought out. Our Family Trust and accessory documents were customized to fit our wants and needs, and at no time did I feel that I was paying for a boiler plate solution to our unique situation. I will be relying upon her advice for years to come.

Phoebe Moffatt has helped my husband and me with our estate planning for us and our blended family. She has helped me with the duties and obligations I inherited taking care of my mother after my father's death five years ago. I have referred two couples to her for their own estate planning and they were both extremely impressed and relieved to have these sensitive documents executed with such professionalism. Phoebe specializes in living wills, estate planning and the complex medical issues that arrive with aging. When you hire her, you will also benefit from her very efficient legal assistant and the best professionals in other legal and fiduciary fields.

Phoebe managed to wrap up a previously mismanaged probate case in 3 1/2 MONTHS. My two prior attorneys couldn't complete the job in 3 1/2 YEARS! She was aggressive and smart against a bully attorney who intimidated the others. As a former accountant, I have never spoken with someone who was so quick to understand numbers. She managed this while being very kind and caring. Also, her paralegal, Cami, was just as competent. A pleasure to work with both of them.

Phoebe is one of the most professional and competent attorneys I have ever had the pleasure of working with. The depth of her knowledge in the area of estate planning is unmatched. Not only does she approach each client's issues with an astute legal mind, she takes a very genuine interest in each client's well being considering each and every concern a client expresses. I frequently refer Phoebe to my clients who are in need of estate planning. My confidence in Phoebe is such that she was the only one I would consider to handle my own estate plan.

I am a retired lawyer, having been in private practice in Arizona until I retired after forty years in 2002. Another estate planning lawyer prepared a complicated trust and pour over wills for my wife and me in 1998 before we met Phoebe, but we have both decided to ask her to revise and update our trust and wills in light of the recent tax law legislation. Phoebe received her training at a top Phoenix firm and has kept her knowledge of estate law up to date far and beyond what is required by the State Bar of Arizona. She will do our work and we would have no hesitation about referring her to any person who wants quality work at a fair price.
