Hired Attorney Samantha Fredieu

Our family had a difficult real estate transaction involving uncooperative relatives and a challenging buyer. Samantha did an incredible job getting the sale across the finish line with successful results. She was extremely responsive, always available and courteous. Samantha was able to work through additional obstacles with my being out-of-state. We highly recommend Samantha and wouldn't hesitate to use her again for any legal matters.

Bob did a great job for me and my family. He took our best interests to heart and was always available to give advice. He understood how sensitive matters can be in a family business - he was both professional and careful to handle the matter in the most sensitive manner possible, leading to an outcome that left everyone involved satisfied. I can't recommend him enough!

Hired Law Firm

Handled my case in a timely and professional manner. The assistant was the most helpful of ANY legal firm I've ever dealt with. The pricing was more than fair; in fact, I was issued a bigger-than-expected refund of unused trust money... thus proving that they were out to HELP me, not swindle me out of my money. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Though I hope to not need legal help again, I would not hesitate to hire them again if necessary. FIVE STARS!!!!
