Attorneys in all practice areas in York, Maine

"My husband and I had been looking for an attorney who offered fair, transparent pricing for estate planning services, including our wills, powers of attorney, transfer-on-death (TOD) designations, and advanced health care directives. We’d had a trust in place when our children were younger but didn’t feel one was necessary now that they are adults and our assets have clear beneficiaries and TODs. The first firm we consulted insisted that we needed a new trust, quoting roughly $3,000 in upfront meetings before any documents were even prepared, plus a $500 annual maintenance fee. When we met with Kathryn, the experience was entirely different. She provided clear, set fees from the start, listened carefully to our situation, and agreed that a trust wasn’t needed at this stage. She also drafted our wills in a way that makes it easy to transition to a trust later if our financial situation changes. Kathryn was a pleasure to work with—professional, personable, and efficient. Her office had our completed documents ready within two weeks. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for straightforward, reasonably priced estate planning guidance."

"Very helpful and compassionate in decision making that must occur as we prepare for declining health.

There was not any pressure to make decisions, but encouragement to take time to review the material. Her staff is very professional, helpful, in answering questions and securing appointments to meet with Kathryn."
