Brenda counseled and guided me in my emotional journey administrating my Mom’s estate. Brenda’s experience with probates, responsive communication and strategic focus was in always in my best interest. With her legal experience and patient guidance, she saved my family from a lengthy, costly probate court battle and me from a breakdown from stress. Her legal knowledge was complemented by her compassion and honesty, along with a touch of humor; especially when she sensed I was in emotional distress.
