After my elderly mother received terrible advice from an attorney at a very large firm who had drawn up her will (he was pushing an irrevocable trust that was clearly not in her best interest but would profit the firm considerably, and there were several things wrong with the will as well), we began an online search for a reputable elder and estate planning attorney.
Impressed with the reviews left for Shannon Macleod, we made an appointment.
After carefully listening to our thoughts and concerns, Shannon explained the options that would fit my mom’s needs best in a clear and concise manner. She explained why some options were not the best fit, outlining the pros and cons of each in a way that made it easy for my mother to understand. She was patient and kind, repeating the information and thoroughly answering questions to make sure that my mother understood her options and was comfortable with her decision.
My mother finally feels confident that her needs have been met: so very different from the aftermath of her dealings with the former firm, which left her extremely confused as to what she was being talked into doing. I feel better knowing that my mom’s assets are protected should she need to access them for care and support as she ages.
In addition, the office is warm and welcoming, everything was handled quickly and efficiently, and the cost for services rendered was not only well below what we had anticipated, but was *considerably* less than what the large firm had been billing (for subpar and even erroneous advice).
