Our questions were answered and helped us understand what was needed and not needed in regards to probate proceedings. Emily was very pleasant, professional and knowledgeable. It was great to still have legal offices that are willing to do a free consultation.

Response from the owner:Hi Gail, Thank you for your kind words. We’re so glad Emily was able to answer your questions and help make the probate process easier to understand. We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience and are pleased the free consultation was helpful.

Legacy was very helpful in explaining Medicaid policies and explaining how I can keep my assets. I look forward to working with them . A little pricey but i think it will be worth it. Thank you Elizabeth

I had a family member pass away and I was really distraught I really had no clue what to do and I worked with Emily and she really made the process seamless and she helped me and my family navigate how to go about the probate court. I was honestly clueless and having this firm for support really helped the process move smoothly. Moving forward I highly recommend this firm specifically Emily. Thank you so much. She made the process not so overwhelming

During a very difficult time in our lives losing our father, and everything surrounding the way it all happened, Emily was truly incredible. She went far beyond anything we could have hoped for, showing real compassion, strength, and unwavering support. She restored my faith in attorneys and helped carry my family through a time we will never forget. I’m forever grateful for her. Emily is truly one of a kind, a shining star in a dark tunnel. This team is lucky to have such a gem!
