Why Same-Sex Couples Need a Will: Protecting Your Assets and Your Partner
Despite the Supreme Court’s landmark 2015 ruling in Obergefell v. Hodges, making same-sex marriage the law of the land, many states still have outdated laws
Heidi is thorough and professional. We truly appreciated her help guiding us through a business transaction and getting all the paperwork handled for us within a reasonable time frame and for a reasonable fee. I will definitely be recommending her to others and will use her if the need arises again in the near or long-term future. Thanks for the help Heidi!

What a wonderful, professional Attorney my family and I found in Heidi Webb! For years, we put off creating a formal will and medical directives, but COVID-19 was the wake up we needed. I knew that we could no longer procrastinate. I searched around town and made a few phone calls and decided on Heidi’s firm. Everything went smoothly. In our first phone conversation, she shared valuable information about things that I never knew or considered. I really appreciated the advice. Her assistant, Molly was also very helpful. Heidi provided all the forms we needed to protect our family and property as well as our medical wishes. The process did not take long and was done via telephone, email, mail, and video conferencing. We could have gone into her office to complete the process, but we chose to use these methods due to COVID-19 restrictions. I am so thankful to Heidi and her team for their help getting things in order for our family. I consider her to be trustworthy and highly ethical. Based on our experience with Heidi and her team, I also consider her to be warm and welcoming with all varying types of people and cultures. Thanks again Heidi and Team!
