My son died unexpectedly leaving a large, complicated estate in Oregon. I live in Washington state. I needed an Oregon estate lawyer. A lawyer contact recommended Jennifer, commenting that she was a retired probate judge who still got called back to duty when emergencies arose. Jennifer was warm and friendly without ever being less than professional. She outlined the steps that would be necessary to close the estate. She made sure I understood what legal requirements I would have to meet to fulfill the duties of executor. She told me that if I was willing to do a lot of the It tracking and securing of estate assets it would save a lot of money in lawyer and CPA fees. She warned that it could take many months to close the estate as there was no will. It has taken over one and a half years. Jennifer efficiently handled all legal matters. She coached me through tracking down and securing the estate's numerous assets which were scattered across multiple companies. She recommended an excellent CPA firm to handle the financial issues. Whenever I was frustrated by the lengthy red tape, she encouraged me with praise for my efforts to cut through it. To save me from unnecessary travel, she and the CPA firm handled as much as possible by email, fax, telephone and U.S mail. The other heir also appreciated the easy to understand way she communicated when he needed to sign documents. I am forever grateful to Jennifer for guiding me through this ordeal.
