My husband and I were in need of updated estate planning documents after the birth of our first child. I wanted to work with an attorney that was both knowledgeable and personable. My experience with Stephanie exceeded my expectations. She worked with my husband and I to ensure that the documents carried out our wishes. Estate planning can sometimes turn into what may feel like an endless list of possibilities or varied outcomes. As a parent of a young child, you can get lost in trying to accommodate so many contingencies. Stephanie was excellent at keeping my husband and I focused on the bigger picture. I would highly recommend Stephanie to anyone that is need of an estate planning attorney.
