She made the entire process of setting up our family trust incredibly easy and stress-free. We started with a consultation to discuss our wishes, which took about thirty minutes. They were booked out, so it took roughly two months for the trust to be prepared and ready for signatures. Our final signing appointment lasted about an hour and a half. We made a few last-minute changes, additions, and everything was handled smoothly. Having an on-site notary made the signature process quick and convenient. Jennifer also took the time to walk us through each section of the trust and explain what everything meant. She makes sure your entire estate is thoroughly covered from A to Z so your assets go where they should. There may be cheaper or faster options out there, but the level of care, detail, and professionalism Jennifer provides is well worth the wait. I highly recommend her.

She apparently closed her business to go back to school, but she did so with the help of my money. She was unprofessional and unethical in the extreme. I wrote her many emails, left many messages, and sent postal mail. She apparently is back in business, but a tiger doesn't change its stripes. If you have a choice, avoid this fraudster. (2021) Update in 2023: Per Ms. McPherson's request, I emailed her. She replied that she was ill and was not expected to survive; she did not contest the fact that she stole $1000 from me in 2004. She rejected my request to make good on her obligation. My previous review stands.

She was holding me accountable for half of her student debt after we had agreed that she wasn't going to. Had levied my bank account and started garnishing my wages. Nowhere in the legal documentation was she ever named creditor of anything. I am frankly amazed this even made it through the courts. Decided I definitely needed to seek legal help. Found McPherson Law Group on yelp*. Did the consult and met with Amanda Martin. Communication is mainly through email which is convenient. She managed to build a solid argument that never needed mediation by a judge, other than his stamp of approval. The whole ordeal took 9 months. Whaddya gonna do? This was my first experience with a lawyer and I would say it went well. Any lawyer hopefully gets better with experience, and I would say Amanda did her homework on this one. I hope none of you ever need a lawyer, but if you do, give McPherson Law Group a call, or send them a message!
