As grieving parents of our deceased son, we were in need of guidance with regard to what do we do next. Our son was without a will and, we had no experience with how to proceed. Luckily, we contacted Elane at the Andrews Law Firm Truckee who immediately understood our situation and was able to provide the information we needed and the necessary legal paperwork to resolve our problem. Our problem was magnified by the fact that we live in Milwaukee and involved my son's car for which we could not find the title. Rather than have to return to Truckee after 40 days to request a new title, Elane assisted us in creating a power attorney for a friend in Truckee which negated our having to return to Truckee from Milwaukee to simply apply for a new title. We are very appreciative with the help we found at The Andres Law Firm Truckee. Thank you, Elaine!

We were referred to Elaine Andrew's law firm through a friend and I'm very happy we went and sat down with her. She quickly recognized a few mistakes in our previous trust and worked to correct them and ensure that our trust followed all legal requirements. We now feel confident that we have a very solid trust for the future.

Elaine was very supportive and professional. She sincerely listened to my concerns and questions. She advised me of California Laws and guided me through the process of what steps would be the best for preparing my will. Kenneth reviewed page by page of my will with me (before signing) and answered all of my questions. I highly recommend The Andrews Law Firm they made my dreaded will preparation bearable. Thank you.
