Burris Law helped me with my Mom's probate and estate. They are informative, extremely helpful,…read moreprompt, and understanding. Going through the probate process took a long time(2 and a half years) partial due to the nature of the courts and partially due to some more uncommon issues that came up. Including an existence of a trust, but being unable to locate a copy including finding the attorney who originally set up the trust and asking if they had any copies. Unfortunately, the trust was set up before computer records were common. Another problem they helped me with was SunRun decided, for reasons we were never able to figure out, to try to shut of service even after I had began the process of transferring everything into my name and was only then waiting on the deed for the house that I wouldn't have until probate was over. Getting a letter saying SunRun was going to deactivate my service for being overdue on payments while in the same letter saying I owed no money and was 0 days past due was confusing and was confusingto every SunRunemployeei spoke to and none could give me answers. Burris Law helped me tremendously with this and without their help I don't know what would have happened in the end. I can't say enough nice things about them. They sent me 2 small care packages during the process and it was really nice to get something positive in the mail during a time when I was getting anxiety every time the mail came. Even after probate has been over for a year they answer any questions I have that come up. Retaining their services was expensive, as it would have been for any probate attorney, and it was worth every cent. When I'm in a better spot I'll be back to set up my own trust with their help.

I contacted them and from the moment I was contacted by the intake coordinator to meeting with Ariana Buriss, it was a seamless transition. I love the office, it's homey and professional.

Meeting Ariana, she is kind and very down to earth but very smart and professional. I felt completely at ease with her, I never felt rushed, she knew exactly how to help on the situation I came to her for and had it completed in an incredible amount of time. I was literally shocked she completed everything by our next appointment. I am going to use her services again to set up a trust. I would highly recommend using her and her office. Going to an attorney can be like going to the doctor, all you want is for someone to listen and address your needs and she did that and more. What a relief! Don't hesitate just book the appointment.

She continues to impress and inspire me as we grow closer as women, professionals, and independent-minded people. It's not often that a person continues to engage with her clients in a material way. Kate Kelso does so with grace, growing as a professional and person. Kate is comfortable in her own skin, with an openness and passion she exhibits to anyone who crosses her path. Trust is fickle, and fragile, I place my trust in her and her advice - she has never disappointed. Kate, to her own detriment, would go as far out of her way as she physically could to help a stranger. Sometimes women like this are called push-overs; often they become punching bags, steam rolled by other people. Frequently people like Attorney Kelso become byproducts of other peoples' needs, people who take too much and give too little. However, Kate has stepped into her own strength, prioritizing her clients and their needs. I have the utmost confidence that anyone who retains her will never regret it - and be lucky to have her.

And that is the case with Alex Varela and The Wagon Legacy. My wife and I needed to update our estate plans and interviewed several firms. Top of our list was The Wagon Legacy. It's so happen Alex Varela was hosting a live seminar so we attended one and was very pleased we did. She not only provided a thorough perspective on estate planning but also walked us through their process which seemed both logical and practical. From the onset of the initial call to the first in person meeting with Ricky Santos, left my wife and I were very impressed by their professionalism and commitment to customer satisfaction and service. They walked us through what was involved, what to expect in weeks ahead and what our role was in the process. Their approach to every detail was down to a science which made the whole experience painless and comforting to know we were in good hands. The important Design Meeting with Attorney Michael Seaman was very productive and every minute was put to good use. Michael explained all the intricate details clearly and cohesively making us comfortable knowing we had made the right choice in selecting Alex and her team at Wagon Legacy. They helped us produce a solid estate plan that would last for many years and protect our assets for our beneficiaries down the road. As with others, I am sure we were not alone with the many questions we had along the way and each time we asked a question of Ricky, Michael, Karen, Elizabeth, and even Alex herself, we always received a prompt and thoughtful response, making us even more at ease and gave us the peace of mind we needed. We could not be happier with our choice in choosing The Wagon Legacy and their team of professionals. They are very caring and really interested in helping their clients achieve a sense of peace and comfort, protecting their hard earned assets for the legacy they leave behind. If you are in need of establishing a trust or estate plan, I highly recommend Alex and her team at The Wagon Legacy. You surely will not be disappointed and will leave having the confidence you have made the right choice. We certainly did. Kudos Alex! You have created a winning team that has and will continue to help many more like us for years to come God bless you, your family and your wonderful team at The Wagon Legacy!!!
