She always spent as much time as my father needed to explain her recommendations, and after his death she, and her associate Stephanie Woods, have been helpful and careful as we close out his estate. I cannot say enough good things about both of them. We are so grateful! (Re: the one star review saying that Laurie Hedrich is no longer licensed to practice law in CA - Ms. Hedrich has lived in Albuquerque for decades. I looked up her status, and the database says that she is no longer allowed to practice law in CA because she declined to renew her license after 30 years of paying dues and no misconduct of any sort. I think people are allowed to let their licenses lapse if they no longer need them!)

This was hands down the WORST experience I've had with a legal service…read more Paid more than $300 for a 1 hr consultation I wasn't allowed into. When setting up the meeting I explained in very specific detail ALL family members needed and wanted to be involved 8n the meeting. Due to what we were trying to do and everyone being on the same page straight from the "horse's mouth" situation. It was agreed to by all, to include the legal office, up until the actual meeting. My father, brother and I were left waiting 35 mins on a dial in line and NO one came in to give us an update or status . The paralegal couldn't even say when my sister who was in person entered the room because she was "busy". They took my money, changed to rules, then left me out. They are not professional or trustworthy in my opinion.

Susan Tomita has been involved for years in Albuquerque as a fair and honest advocate for the…read moreelderly and challenged people of our City. I came to know her when she was helping a friend of mine whose husband had died of a heart attack at the age of 67, after having proclaimed that because of the number of things that he had to complete in his life, God would keep him alive until he was 95. When I had discussed life insurance with him when he was 65, he had told me that he didn't believe in it. When I asked why, he said that "Life insurance is betting that you are going to die." I told him that sounded like a pretty sure bet to me. I just brought this up to show what kind of "stabelizing" influence my friend had been living with. A husband whom she relied upon completely for everything, and had left her with no source of income, no life coping skills and pretty clueless. I tell you this because Ms. Tomita was able to help her get into a pretty comfortable living situation where she had no worries of ending up on the street.
