Rating Anna Valiente Gomez who took over the office of Howard Hawkins in handling the affairs of my…read moremother, Peggy Simola: I strongly advise against trusting this lawyer with any estate matters. They acted unscrupulously when handling my mother's will and trust, prioritizing deception over ethical practice. Despite my mother's dementia, this lawyer directed her to sign over power of attorney to her husband's daughter--someone who had been completely uninvolved until she saw an opportunity for financial gain. With this power, she rewrote the will, disregarding my mother's long-held plans for her family and diverting everything to herself. She allowed her husband to become her Power of Attorney then simultaneously gave his power of attorney his daughter and allowed her to steal and desecrate my mother's wishes. This lawyer's actions were not just unethical but outright predatory, taking advantage of a vulnerable person for personal and/or financial benefit. Her lack of integrity has devastated our family, and I would never recommend them to anyone seeking honest, professional legal guidance.

We appreciated the complimentary appointment because we had been meeting with other lawyers and weren't sure. Howard gave us a comprehensive rundown of what we need, what will be needed and what we can expect. We've got some homework to do, but he's definitely our guy!! Thanks Howard, see you soon!

When I pointed out their error, I was charged more for the time it took them to fix it. Then they charged me for calling me to tell me that they sent an email message to my brother. When the trust was administered, they didn't give me a trust certificate, so I had to ask for it. And of course, this was more money. The paralegal said that my case folder was lost. (?!). Now they want me to pay even more money even though the matter was closed. Do not do business with these people! They really don't take pride in doing a good job.

I highly recommend the Heather Law group and give five stars. Heather's assistants Emily and…read moreVictoria are very knowledgeable and when contacting them for help they give replies to questions very promptly. They are well organized. They give you all the choices that are available to you through their office. It starts out by completing a questionnaire which gives an outline on needed info to complete your document. Then you have an initial meeting with Heather to discuss your specific needs. Then the specific info is legally recorded and finalized and verified in a last meeting with Heather. Unfortunately, my wife passed away recently and my deed to the house was transferred to me without any problems having to deal with the county. Heather handled everything. To protect your estate from probate is something a majority of people do not realize the importance of, and Heather is the perfect lawyer to guide you through it. James Ireland

We did our taxes last year with Richmond Services. We were patient with them because they seemed to…read morebe having some difficulties in the office and we felt for them. Over the course of the four weeks it took to get our taxes done, they told us they were short-staffed due to COVID and that they had a death in the family. We didn't realize until we received the email in the attached photo, which was sent CC'ing us by accident, that they were likely just waiting for us to give up and take our business elsewhere. We do not have a difficult tax situation in any way and we make decent income. Therefore, by "being choosier of their clients", they aren't referring to our actual case being complicated or not making enough profit from us, but likely something related to our marriage status, our professions, or something else personal. I would not recommend working with this business in case they decide you're not worth their time.

I used one guy for 10 years and another random business, but I was just a customer. Then I found Jennifer! Easy process online setting up appointments, talking by phone, and sending documents. I've never received such great explanations! She is very communicative, thorough, and has phenomenal customer service. A completely stress-free experience. Above all I finally found someone I can trust and rely on for sound advice, who is also VERY smart. She honestly beats any other tax preparer out there and works remotely so I don't have to drive somewhere to do my taxes. She always asks if you have any questions and makes sure you understand the information. She charges very fair rates, nothing different than all my other places. Great value for the service you get! THIS WAS THE EASIEST 5 STAR REVIEW I HAVE EVER DONE! SIX STARS!

I met with Attorney Patrick regarding my mom's Medicare and Medicaid situation, and I can't say…read moreenough good things about the experience. My mom is very ill, so any interruption or loss of health benefits has truly life-and-death consequences. I came in already navigating an incredibly difficult situation, with a lot of questions and a lot of anxiety. Patrick was compassionate, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable. He took the time to explain the inner workings of Medicaid in a way that actually made sense, and he offered proactive advice that helped us think ahead rather than just react. I never felt rushed, and it was clear he genuinely cared about helping us do what was best for my mom. I walked out with peace of mind and a much clearer understanding of how I can support her during this time. Compassion, empathy, and real expertise were all present, which meant more than I can put into words. In the middle of such a hard chapter, it was truly meaningful to cross paths with an exceptional human.

There was some urgency to have matters done and we were prepped very well with what was needed to make the visit an effective one to cover all basis. She spent hours with us, no pressure, no rush, no hesitation to assist. I know for a fact that after we left her with a lot of information, the task to completion was a lot of work and handled the business on the backend without needing us again. So organized and clear throughout the whole process made us feel at ease and secure. Not to long ago, we hired her to amend my parents Trust that was done by another attorney over 20 years ago. Here's the plus++ she is bilingual which is my parents preference to communicate in Spanish. This time we met via zoom and it made things just as good as our first visit. Everything was registered through county quick and records were updated seamlessly with no issue or concern. Georgina and her firm are top notch, professional and serving with grace to their clients. I have referred them to family and friends with confidence. Any service needed will be handled with the TLC required case by case!
