Just updated our will. Everything was done professionally. So glad to have everything in order and up to date. Madeline and her team are a pleasure to work with. Keep up the good work!

Madeline was able to explain all that legalese easily and simply. And she asked the right questions to understand what we really were aiming for and how she could provide that for us. Her assistants were capable and professional. It was reassuring and calming to work with her and her small focused group.

Madeline pushed me past the big hurdle we all think about and put off - estate planning. She listened to me, broke things down, and developed a great plan that puts my mind at ease. She is highly organized, moves in a timely manner, and clearly speaks her thoughts and concerns. I do not hesitate to recommend Madeline and her team. They are awesome.

Many years ago Madeline worked with us to write our wills. We were impressed by how thorough and thoughtful she was with us, helping us to think about many issues that we had not considered. We recently hired her again to update our wills now that our children are grown. We are Canadians living in the US and wanted to make sure we were protecting ourselves and our children from international tax issues etc.. Madeline was very knowledgeable and gave us excellent advice. We appreciate all her help and highly recommend her.

I had Madeline recommended to me by my CPA. She helped my family redo my parents' wills and power of attorneys. She was so patient with them, clearly knowledgeable and great to work with. And let me emphasize patient - she explained everything so well. Her office staff was great too.

I needed a Trust Fund set-up for my Special Needs adult son, and Madeline's name was given to me. She couldn't have been better. She is very easy to work with, and extremely knowledgeable, thoughtful and pleasant. It is very comforting to know that my son will be taken care of after I die.

We moved to WA from another state and needed to update our wills and health care directives, particularly since the old ones were from when our daughter was a child and is now grown and married. We contacted Madeline based on her resume and other reviews. We knew exactly how we wanted our estate divided and our desired health care directives. She listened carefully and made excellent suggestions for legal purposes while accomplishing what we wanted. We would highly recommend her services for any estate from the simplest to one highly complicated.

Over the phone Madeline was able to immediately guide me to how to plan my estate in the simplest, most cost effective way. I was a straightforward decisions to have her be my attorney. The process was very easy, done in a very timely manner, was reasonably priced, and to my total satisfaction. I heartily recommend Madeline for estate planning.

Madeline handled our complicated will with skill and expertise. We were impressed with her integrity, and the way she demonstrated her care and concern for us. Madeline publishes a little book, "Where there is a Will, there is a way." This little book really gave us the foundational information we needed as we were building our will to suit our needs perfectly. We highly recommend Madeline for all of your estate and tax planning needs.

"Madeline Gauthier graciously took on our very complicated family estate case. With her unwavering commitment to doing the right thing, and with very little initial documentation from us, Madeline and her excellent team researched deeply, interviewed carefully, and collected volumes of data. They analyzed and connected the details which ultimately proved our case. She, associate Jason Giesler and paralegal Colleen Glidden worked with honorable professionalism throughout our long and arduous case, and through many unforeseen twists and turns. And they prevailed for us. I highly recommend Madeline Gauthier."
