We chose Gretchen to be our probate attorney. So happy with our decision to go with Gretchen! She has years of experience, and is pleasant to work with. As we go through the probate process, her patience, kindness and efficiency makes it wonderful to work with her. Her staff is amazing as well! I would highly recommend Gretchen.

Hired Attorney Ms. Gretchen A. Benolken

We came to her office with very little experience in the fields of Probates and Estates. I was made to feel more in control because she understood our position, made every step logical and doable and didn't use any buzz words or shortcuts that we would not have been comfortable with. She set her pace at our speed, which allowed us then to stay engaged. Her manner when we were at Court allowed me to feel comfortable during the proceedings. All in all, I had a valuable and productive experience.

With COVID many of us have had to think about things we’ve been putting off. If you don’t have your will and estate planning in order, you need to call Gretchen today and do it. None of us are guaranteed tomorrow. Gretchen is kind, patient, caring and thoroughly explains various options and all of the legal jargon the rest of us don’t understand. Working with Gretchen makes contemplating these difficult and often uncomfortable decisions so much easier and you know you’re in great hands with her legal expertise.

My experience with Gretchen is a blessing! I came into her office not knowing what to do in my situation because of the loss of my beloved Mother. Gretchen is very knowledgeable and will take the time to explain every detail. She has always been a available for any questions, concerns or needs even after my case was completed. Gretchen is very compassionate about what she does for others and I would recommend her to everyone!

I have used Gretchen Benolken twice as my attorney and have been beyond satisfied. Gretchen goes above and beyond for her clients. She is very professional, determined, trust worthy, knowledgeable, easy to work with and quick to respond. She represented me in a court case years back which she won, and always made me feel at ease. Years later I called on Gretchen to draw up trusts for my husband and me. She and her team were always helpful and very responsive to all our questions and needs. Gretchen takes the time to get to know her clients and guides them to make decisions that best fit their needs. I highly recommend Gretchen Benolken. I would hire her again and again. I am grateful for the help she has given me.

Ms. Benolken was very helpful in guiding me through the process of settling a family member's estate. She answered all of my questions and thoroughly explained the details of what the process would look like. I would definitely recommend her if you need help with settling an estate.

Working with Gretchen and her Team has been a wonderful experience! I have procrastinated getting my estate planning done and Gretchen made the process simple, easy to understand and put a great deal of time and energy into making sure that I have the appropriate documents in place so I can sleep well knowing that my family will be well taken care of when I am gone. She took the time to educate me on the importance of putting a Will and Trust in place and what was appropriate for my personal situation. It was not a "cookie cutter" approach but one that was personalized to my needs and that of my families. She took a lot of time during our initial meeting to make sure that I got all my questions answered and brought up many scenarios and options to consider. I am so appreciative to Gretchen and her Team for helping me through what I thought would be a difficult undertaking to a simple and enjoyable process! I HIGHLY recommend her services and her expertise!

Hired Attorney Ms. Gretchen A. Benolken

I ended up with the daunting task of probating both of my parents' wills at the same time. Gretchen presented the best option for my case and advocated the most efficient and cost effective way to handle it. She was far more patient with me than she could have been and worked diligently to make sure everything was in order as it should be. I hope I don't have need for her services in the near future, but if for some reason I do, she'll be the first call I make! Highly recommend her! She has a knack for making you feel a warm, motherly, wrap her arm around you and guide you while still also leaving the impression that she's a take no crap, get it done kind of attorney! Her work ethic and diligence are worth every penny!
