Most clients describe a knowledgeable, caring team that explains complex matters clearly and stays in touch during probate and estate work. However, a notable minority report months-long delays, communication lapses after initial contact, and cases that stall when clients stop checking in themselves. The firm excels at first consultation but uneven consistency on follow-through has left some clients frustrated and in financial jeopardy. Staff named include Andrew Oram, Gina, and Elisa. Services mentioned span probate, wills, trusts, LadyBird deeds, and medical powers of attorney. One complaint suggests possible conflicts of interest with personal referrals receiving faster service.
