Questions
What estate planning documents do I need?

We use legal strategies within the 5-year look-back rule to protect assets while qualifying for Medicaid benefits, preserving wealth for spouses and heirs.

Words can not describe how thoughtful and considerate Mrs. Weaver is. She does not treat you like a client. She treats you like a friend. She listens, is compassionate and understanding. She is a great attorney. But more importantly, she is a very kind and sincere person.

Report
Jeannette is a very kind and caring person. She talks to you with respect and goes above and beyond to help. She is not the kind of person that comes to mind when you think of an attorney. She is not cold hearted or cut throat like a lot of others in her field. I appreciate her time and she has always shown me kindness.
