Client Testimonials
Out of all the estate planning attorney’s “I wanted you to do my estate planning because I knew you would understand animal issues and you wouldn’t make me feel like I am weird for wanting to take care of my pets.”

“I went to see an estate planning attorney and told him I wanted to include a provision for my pets and he laughed at me and would not include any language regarding my pet.” I wanted to talk with you to see if we can set up a separate trust to make sure my pets are taken care of."
