My father lived in Daytona Beach for years and passed away in December. My family lives in West Virginia and we needed a lawyer to assist us with his estate. I did a Google search for lawyers in Daytona and started calling. The first two offices I called I had to leave a voicemail, neither returned my call. I called Heidi’s office and a real live person answered the phone. I told her what I needed and she promptly scheduled me a phone call with Heidi. Knowing we were not from the area, in fact 700 miles away she went above and beyond in assisting us. We were kept well informed and she collaborated with our realtor to make sure everything was in line. A+++

Heidi handled estate planning for us, including setting up a family trust, wills, power of attorney, living will, health care directive. She provided excellent, knowledgeable guidance throughout the process and we worked through these matters effectively and efficiently, and the work was completed for a reasonable fee. We were very pleased with the services provided. ~Dave K
