Testimonials

"… helpful and understanding …"

As aging parents of a special needs 37 year old son, we knew that we had to make plans for our son’s care when we are gone. Carol was recommended to us by a friend and was extremely helpful and understanding of our needs and concerns. She explained the process to us clearly and kept us informed of the progress she was making on the solution. Her husband also helped us with some of the health insurance needs for our son.

We are pleased with the results of her work and know that she will help our younger son navigate the legal aspects of our trust when the time comes. Thank you, Carol.

"… helpful, available, and very knowledgeable …"

This posting is our personal recommendation for Carol Johnson. Carol has worked with us to establish our family estate trust and an additional special needs trust. She was consistently helpful, available, and very knowledgeable over a several months period. Her advice was personally responsive to our unique needs and we feel she will continue to keep us informed as our needs or the laws change because she has a true dedication to protecting her client families. She enjoys her work and sees its importance to families. She has demonstrated a caring partnership with us throughout the legal process. We are very satisfied with the outcome and recommend her services.

I would highly recommend her and will definitely be using her legal services again in the future.
