Lelia was very clear in explaining our options and walking us through the Family Wealth Planning process. It's much more than just a will! She was patient, flexible with our schedules, and we really feel secure knowing this has been done the right way.
A Patriot to His Profession
I would highly recommend Mr. Winget-Hernandez. He is truly the most professional attorney I have encountered. His work ethic is exceptional. He is very compassionate when needed and aggressive when required. Mr. Winget-Hernandez kept me well informed as my case progressed through the system. He always responded in a timely manner to any questions or comments I had. Outstanding listening and communication skills.
Very Responsive and Obviously Knowledgeable
Rebecca and I consulted Lelia and Michael to learn about creating a special needs trust for our 21 year old autistic son so that he would have the financial security and care as he grows older. We are impressed with their knowledge in creating a trust. It was done efficiently and with care. At the same time, they reviewed and updated our wills and directives. We recommend them highly for anyone needing estate and trust planning..
A Patriot to His Profession
I can’t say enough about how pleased our family is with this business. We feel safe and protected now that we are taking care of life’s important decisions. AND Lelia worked beautifully with our young adult son who has ASD. She is helping to consult us about us about loose ends in the Special Needs realm and legal matters. So now he is feeling safe, too!
