“I just wanted to say …I was nervous about finding a lawyer, because I’ve never had to deal with one by myself, and was worried about spending tons of money. People had warned me about lawyers charging me $1,000 of dollars to take advantage of me and my situation. I just wanted to thank you again for understanding the difficult time I’ve had losing my mother and all the new legal issues I’ve had to deal with. ….Thank you again for all your help…. Much thanks,”

My brother and I appreciate your attention to detail and patience while things played out. The smoothness of the whole process was remarkable. We would not hesitate to recommend you to anyone who has need of your services. …I should note that I am writing on the second day of my retirement….I look forward to a new life and wish you the best in yours.”
