Rebecca Anderson is the absolute BEST attorney to work with, but more importantly, she is a wonderful person.

What families say about working with us

I had the pleasure of meeting with Rebecca Anderson to create a Revocable Trust for me. She exceeded my expectations. Rebecca is beyond thorough, and has an extensive knowledge of estate planning. She took the time to listen, and asked probing questions, so she could thoroughly understand my desires. Rebecca was extremely patient, never rushed me, answered all of my questions, and explained every contingency one could imagine. Rebecca made a somewhat difficult discussion about death, and asset distribution (never a pleasant subject), an easy, informative, and actually pleasant, experience. I cannot recommend her enough. – Sandy T.
