Just took my mom to revise all her paperwork and create a life estate deed. Worked with Jaclyn first then Cristian second because he speaks Spanish. Both were very professional and answered all our questions without rushing. I was very pleased with how they treated us, especially my 82-year-old mother. I'm so happy I'm going to probably do my own paperwork with them. I would highly recommend them to anyone needing elder care legal services.
