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!

Response from the owner:Amber, thank you for taking the time to share this—especially during what sounds like an incredibly difficult and emotional time for your family.

We are very sorry for your loss, and we truly appreciate you trusting us to be part of that process. Your words about Emily Wanchisn mean a great deal. She takes immense pride in supporting families not just legally, but personally, and it’s clear she made a meaningful impact for you when it mattered most.

We’ll be sure to share this with her and the entire team. Thank you again for your kind words and for allowing us to assist your family during such a challenging time.

I’m not going to get into details here. I’ll just leave you with one thing. Would I ever go back and use this firm for other family matters? No, I would not. I didn’t have the confidence in them. That said, trust your gut.

Response from the owner:Hi B,

We’re unable to identify any record of you in our system based on the name provided, which makes it difficult to determine whether you actually interacted with our firm. There is also a similarly named firm in the area, so it’s possible this review may be intended for another firm.

If you did work with us, we’re open to discussing your concerns directly—please contact the office so we can verify and address them.

I phoned Legacy Elder Law Centre from Canada regarding probate of an estate in Virginia. Spoke to the receptionist with a brief description of the services I needed to deal with. She was very nice and very helpful. She knew exactly who I needed to speak to regarding this matter and informed me she would give my message to Emily, who would call me back shortly.
Emily did in fact call me back shortly and listened to my questions and concerns and answered all my questions. By the end of the phone conversation I felt very comfortable with Emily and that she was the right person to help me. She listens...and she answers. She is very knowledgeable and she is amazing. It will be stress free and comfortable working with her.

Response from the owner:Sharon, thank you so much for your thoughtful review—and for reaching out to us all the way from Canada. We know how challenging it can be to navigate a Virginia probate matter from out of the country, and I’m really glad our team was able to make that first step a little easier.

I’ll be sure to share your kind words with Emily. She truly has a gift for listening and guiding clients through what can feel like an overwhelming process, and your feedback means a lot.

We appreciate the opportunity to assist you and look forward to working with you every step of the way.
