Susan cared about me and my family, providing timely, practical solutions for our unique planning needs. Even in a fairly straightforward last will, there is legal language that can be confusing - Susan patiently broke it down to layman's language. She took the time to know the situation well enough to make sure I understood the alternatives and why she was making a particular recommendation. She explained the best ways to write a power of attorney and advanced medical directives so that should they need to be used, there would be no question about my intent.

Mr Tobin you may be a lawyer, however you are not a cost estimater. Keep your big mouth out of are family. You have caused great strife in my family over this matter. You have no idea how many hours I put into this job, but I am going to give you that number. Two employees from my corporation for 10 days equals 200 hours. Also another 100 hours of off-site consulting. You suggested to cut my labor to $3500. My money for materials and the discounted labor still have not been paid.

I came to this law firm because a friend recommended them . If you need a great lawyer in Washington DC I would most certainly recommend them.
