We work with Cara for both personal and business. She is taking care of our family trust and answers all if our questions in a timely manner. She has also helped us close a business and update our paperwork for our current business including the articles of incorporation, contracts, etc. She makes everything easy to understand and works quickly to get everything done..... sometimes while we're sitting in her office.

If you are a male attempting to get custody of your child, I strongly urge you go elsewhere. After having Terese as my "attorney" and going to court multiple times for custody of my child from their drug addicted, abusive, violent felon of a mother, I found myself down well over 10k$ and literally in the same place I started. I handled the rest of my case on my own and now have full custody of my child, I've never felt so taken for granted by someone who was supposed to help, who didn't bother treating me like an individual, but a statistic instead.
