Jane Lee is very knowledgeable and helpful. Answered my questions satisfactorily and allowed me as much time as I needed to go through the pages and understand each one before moving on.

We had a telephone appointment with Jane Lee and it was outstanding. Every question and clarification were welcomed and answered. We got great value for our Family Trust dollar. We started our Family Trust relationship with Roger Minor in 1980 before this partnership and his retirement and this was either the best experience or within the top two throughout all these years. Thanks to Jane for the high standard of professionalism and top quality product.

Peter Keon has been our attorney for years now, and we couldn't be happier. He set up our family trust and has kept it up to date ever since. He has been very attentive to our needs and wants, and has been very professional throughout. Having him to take care of all of our trust matters has taken a big load off of our shoulders. We can absolutely recommend him.

In the middle of the COVID 19 pandemic, my siblings have decided to move my 97 year old mother from her home with full time care to a nursing home. I needed a copy of my mother’s medical power of attorney ASAP. They were really responsive and got me the papers I needed.
