Ashley and her staff were thoughtful and meticulous in our estate planning. Her top notch education was evident in every step. My professional life has me interacting with folks and their estate planning, which makes me more familiar with end of life planning than the average bear. Ashley’s in depth look at our wishes and her brilliant interpretations of the laws surrounding this topic, made clear she is more thorough than most of the lawyers my clients work with. We felt so reassured, as if a weight had been lifted, when we walked out of her office. Part of her services include providing 24/7 access to ER planning documents (DPOA) that medical professionals can utilize in case of emergency. A brilliant addition, especially in the case of traveling, and would also work well for folks with no next of kin. We were given time, care, thoughtful insights, and the reassurance that our trust would stand the test of time and any potential legal dispute.

Ashley was recommended by a friend, and we are so glad we decided to hire her to help us. We had gone through a very traumatic experience as a family, and she was caring, professional, and kind through the whole process of obtaining guardianship of our nephew. She is highly recommended, and we will be using her for our future legal needs.

It was such a pleasant process working with Ashley and Treetown Law to do our estate planning. We really appreciated how well Ashley explained everything - just enough detail without the content feeling overwhelming to our non-legal brains. She is very nonjudgmental and non-biased, giving lots of space for us to consider what feels right to our family; she only gave advice or reassurance when explicitly asked, which felt so appropriate and helpful. We also appreciated their strategies to keep us on task and schedule to get the planning process done efficiently, as well as the consistent kindness of their communications. Thank you, highly recommend!

I'm glad I worked with Ashley and Sarah to create an individualized estate plan for my "interesting" situation. They worked through many options for me and ended up helping me choose possibilities that I would have never thought to research. I felt listened to and that my plan was very important for them to get right. I'm relieved that Treetown Law was there to comfortably help me get a end-of-life plan completed.

Ashley is not only extremely knowledgeable in her field, she is compassionate and truly cares about her clients. We had an awesome experience with Treetown Law and I highly recommend her services to anyone looking.

We were so pleased to work with Ashley to develop our estate plan. She skillfully guided us through every step of the process and offered trustworthy legal expertise. Her understanding and willingness to accommodate our childcare situation by meeting with us remotely during evening hours blew us away. Without her flexible scheduling we probably would have put off this important task, but instead we now have the peace of mind that comes with establishing wills and a trust.

Ashley created a will, pour-over will and a living trust for my parents recently. From the first minute of our first meeting until the final signing of all documents, Ashley was professional, courteous, informative, knowledgeable and kind. She covered every possible scenario and thoroughly explained all concepts clearly. We absolutely recommend Ashley Waddell Tingstad to provide legal services for estate planning.

Ashley Waddell Tingstad works tirelessly for her clients; she's smart, compassionate, and focused. I was so pleased with the estate planning she did for my family. Ashley is also an employment lawyer; she represented me in a labor dispute not long ago. Her thorough preparation and deep knowledge of the law was evident to all; I was incredibly fortunate to have her on my side. A million cheers -- and five stars -- for Treetown Law!

Estate planning was a goal for us that spent a great deal of time in the shadows - we knew it was something we wanted to accomplish, but weren't sure how to go about it, who to talk to, or even what questions to ask. For those reasons, we put it off for a long time. When Ashley mentioned to us that she was starting her own practice with a focus on estate planning and trusts for families with children, we jumped at the opportunity to work with her and are very happy we did. Ashley is a great teacher. She took the time to sit down with us to learn about our family, our values and our concerns, to better understand what kind of planning we needed. She guided us through the process of making important life decisions for ourselves and our family. We now feel confident that we've taken the necessary steps to find comfort in the face of an unknowable future, and that our son will be well taken care of even in our absence. That peace of mind is priceless.

Ashley has the kind of energy that is perfect for guiding you through the estate planning process. She's warm, smart, thoughtful, and effective. I learned so much about what would happen after I die in various scenarios. I loved her educational approach. I felt like I was in such great hands, and I'd highly recommend her to anyone going through this process!

My wife and I recently moved to Michigan and needed to modify our existing estate plan to reflect our new retired status. Upon the recommendation of our previous attorney, we contacted Ashley and we're so glad we did. Ashley is the consummate legal professional. Her strong sense of family and how generations are bound together and the impact this has on estate planning was readily apparent during our initial meeting. This was so important to us because we wanted to have an estate plan that maximized the benefit to our family with the least amount of probate headaches. Ashley is a wonderful teacher. She was able to present complex legal concepts in a manner that we could absorb and assimilate into our decision making process. Ashley garnered the respect of my wife and I for the manner in which she conducts herself as an attorney and as a person. Without reservation, I highly recommend her for your estate planning needs.
