Answer a few standard questions, chat about your impending death, and whammo! You've got yourself a legally binding will, power of attorney, health care advance directive, etc. Betsy also told us everything about death we wouldn't have even known to ask. Plus, she and her husband even come to *your* house for a signing party so you get the documents right away. It wasn't cheap, but check to see if your company has a legal plan (ours paid for almost everything!). But it was thorough, painless, and quick. Just like I hope that impending death of mine will be. (FYI: Betsy knows all the good ways to dispose of your body: cremation, burial at sea, composting, being turned into a tree ...)

If you want your immigration documents prepared accurately and in a very timely manner, please use Gillin Law. The Green Card application is often refused for small errors, and you will never have this problem with Brandon.

Stephanie doesn't believe in cookie cutter solutions -- she truly takes the time to understand your values and what matters most to you before creating customized estate plans. From the very beginning, her approach felt deeply personal and incredibly thoughtful. Every document she created was individually tailored with remarkable care and expertise. That level of detail and customization proved invaluable after my loved one died. Her documents held up to some difficult and unique circumstances surrounding his death and provided tremendous peace of mind. Stephanie patiently walks you through every part of the process of producing your documents, making sure your wishes are captured exactly as you envision and then ensuring you understand and feel fully confident in what you're signing. Her fees were exactly as discussed, with no surprises and at no point did I feel rushed. She went above and beyond my expectations in extraordinary circumstances. Compassion is truly the cornerstone of her practice. Stephanie brings not only expertise, but genuine heart. I cannot recommend her highly enough.
