“Estate planning was a new thing to both my husband and me. Jane never talked down to us, nor reprimanded us. We never felt patronized, like other Attorneys who make you feel they are the God and you are so unknowing and have stupid questions. Over the years I’ve dealt with lots of attorneys and Jane just makes me feel so relaxed. She’s reasonably priced, not charging exorbitant fees like a large law firm. You get the main attorney at reasonable fees with a highly experienced person.”
