Rose did a fantastic job drawing up the wills, advanced directives, and durable powers of attorney for my wife, adult daughter, and myself, and additionally defined the trust for our son who is still a minor. Two things impressed us most: 1) she went through each of the many documents with us individually until she was sure we understood them all completely; and 2) she was very patient with us when we wanted to change some things after we had a better understanding of the documents. She didn't rush us, and that meant everything to us in making sure we got the documents right. Rose is fantastic.

Rose is very personable and professional. She drew up our wills and POAs for healthcare and financial issues. She was very understanding and extremely accommodating when we had some last minute changes. She went out of her way to arrange a time that worked for us. Highly recommend!!

I was very satisfied with Rose's legal advice and her help with estate planning.Even though I made several changes to the document, she was always courteous and helpful and always had my best interests in mind.

Rose handled the estate of a family member when I was the executor. There were circumstances that needed perfessional guidance and Rose was terrific. She was not only professional but very caring as well. I would definitely use her again.
