Report
We were first recommended to Legacy Law Firm through a colleague as a recommendation to the owner of my company to transfer all his business affairs from another state. He valued how much Bobbi and Legacy Law meet his needs and exceeded his expectations. Recently I became a partner and saw first hand what Bobbi and Legacy Law bring to the table. It is about protecting your best interest and making sure your assets are safe. Since that time my wife and I have established a family trust that not only protects my business interests, but protects our family. I also brought my parents, who moved

We are thrilled with the services provided by Legacy Law Firm. Professional and Thorough and always friendly along the way. We finally got around to taking care of our Wills, Trusts, Powers of Attorney, and other key documents that everyone should have. Two years later we were involved in a tragic vehicle accident and my wife was incapacitated for months. The documents were readily accessed and I was immediately able to provide authorization to health care providers and financial institutions as well. Truly a blessing to have these emergency documents available even though you hope to never use
