My sweet mother passed away in May of this year.  To say that I miss her terribly is an understatement.  Being an adult comes with many challenges; however, settling my mom’s estate was never one that I thought I would have to face so soon.
I wish I could win the lottery as easily as I picked Grace P.  She has lifted the burden of literal understanding of how things are when someone passes.  To that extent, she is an amazing attorney.  I have had the good fortune to become friends with her as well.  Her friendship and legal expertise has made my heart lighter and my fiduciary responsibilities bearable.  If you are ever in need of an estate attorney you will have picked the right person.  She is smart, easy going and masterful at getting results quickly.  Just like the lottery she has the winning combination.  I’m grateful. – Sharon H.
