Our family has been using Sara Murphy Bondurant since 2013. We where first referred to Sara by our financial advisor. She has walked us through the opening of three LLC's, an aduit by the IRS, a probate and estate planning. To work with Sara on any of our items was like working with family. From taking my calls, answering countless questions, explaining our options and her fast & efficient work ethic was a pleasure. I highly recommend Sara for all your estate planning needs.

Sara has assisted me in updating my trust to better assist my family in future and is my first to use in consulting with related to my families farms and royalty legal affairs. She is always available and I wouldn’t use anyone else. She is first I recommended to my mother and other family members or friends.
