Our two-appointment process begins with detailed asset and family situation assessment followed by document execution.

Documents are filed with county registries as needed, with original copies maintained by clients for secure recordkeeping.

I called- asked her a question and was told "What do you mean" in a very rude and unprofessional tone. Don't do business here. Bedside manner is the core staple of any profession

Ms. Cooney helped settle my mother's estate after her passing and was wonderful to work with. She handled everything with compassion and explained in detail what she needed from me. I am grateful for her help during the hardest and most devastating time of my life. I highly recommend her services.

Jennifer Cooney did an exceptional job at the closing on our home! I could not be more pleased with her and her entire staff. Everything was prepared above and beyond my expectations. She and her staff are among the most professional and friendly people Ive met since coming to Fayetteville almost ten years ago. I am so thankful to have had this experience with her firm.
