Elaine is very knowledgeable, professional and thorough. We had her set up our Trust and she walked us though every step of the process, addressing every concern and questions along the way. She was highly recommended and we're glad to have worked with her.

I have personally been a Durable Power of Attorney and Durable Power of Health for two close family friends. One had a basic trust that went through probate and another did not need to. My wife and I live overseas and have a diverse portfolio and assets, including a home and multiple retirement accounts. Elaine Andrews was able to not only draft our estate planning portfolio, but she helped us organize our assets and protect us from probate. The portfolio is very well organized and much easier to read and find sections required by various parties such as our bank and our benefactors. Working with Elaine was easy. She is highly professional and can be trusted with protection of your assets. I would highly recommend her to put yourselves at ease that your estate is protected and finances safeguarded and directed to where you want the money to go.

Elaine is timely with an immediate focus on taking care of business (which is my approach to things so I genuinely appreciated that). She explained every aspect of the process of creating a Living Trust and was available to answer any questions we had. All of the terms were clear and direct and she has great follow up.

Our experience with Andrews Law Firm was a solid 10+ stars. After meeting with an estate lawyer in the past, we had given up on the idea of creating a trust because it seemed impossible to understand and too expensive. Elaine was approachable and knowledgeable, helping us understand each part of the process. She worked around our schedules and completed a trust quickly to meet our needs. She also made it clear that she is available in the longer term, to answer questions and make changes as needed. I am so delighted we found Elaine Andrews, and I give her my highest recommendation.

Working with Elaine at the Andrews Law Firm has been a true Godsend! I’m flat out amazed at her efficiency, knowledge, and the warm and kind way she works with us. I’m trying to care for my 93-year old Dad from across the country, so my time is incredibly tight and limited. Elaine accomplished more for us in 24 hours than any other attorney would have done in a month! Wow! She is the BEST!.

My husband and I finally decided to do our estate plan, we contacted Elaine to do the plan. Elaine did an excellent job explaining thoroughly each and every aspect of the trust. We gave her the go ahead to start and within a few weeks we had our plan. I feel so much better having that in place, especially since we both recently retired.Elaine also gave us some sound advice on how to handle my mother's estate, as she had recently passed.I would not hesitate to recommend her services to my friends and family!

We are so pleased that we made the choice to have Elaine Andrews complete our estate plan. We had a unique set of circumstances that made our family trust work not the easiest, and Elaine did an amazing job explaining thoroughly each and every aspect of the trust. She was consistently available to us and remains so today. Not only did she help us with the trust - but she also helped us our business/incorporation documents that had been done incorrectly by another attorney. She set us on the RIGHT path - and for that we are grateful. Elaine Andrews is the BEST!
