My sister and I used Collett for estate planning and elder care advise regarding my recently…read morewidowed mom. Collett was simply sensational: warm, knowledgable, professional and meticulously detailed. She listened attentively to our needs and our concerns about protecting the small amount of income that my mom is receiving, and then presented different options, and their implications. I loved how she was focused on my mom, her needs and wishes. It was also immediately apparent that she was incredibly knowledgable about all aspects of elder care law, and different legal implications for a range of related service (power of attorney, health directive, Medicaid eligibility requirements, trusts, guardianships, etc). I liked that she is specifically certified as an elder care legal specialist. Her fees were clearly laid out and very reasonable, I appreciated that she had a flat fee, so we knew exactly what we were paying for and what to expect. Unlike a lot of lawyers, we had to pay for our initial consultation which gets deducted from the fee if you contract her. In retrospect, it was totally worth it. In that time she reviewed a range of documents, a long intake form she sent to us prior, listened carefully and laid out different alternatives for us to consider (whether or not we hired her to execute them). Both the initial consult and the cost for services are flat fees, not hourly. Even though it was a flat fee, I loved that at no point did we feel rushed, quite the contrary, she gave us her complete undivided attention for a pretty long visit and made it clear that we could call on her for any additional questions that might come up. She didn't try to sell us anything we didn't need (we already had an older will for example, which she reviewed and found that it was still valid, and still reflected my mom's wishes) and didn't rush us to make any decisions. We walked into her office anxious and worried, and left breathing a sigh of relief, not only because she took care of what we needed in a timely manner, but because we felt this was someone we could trust. As an added plus, she has a Spanish speaking assistant a few days a week, but she understands quite a bit of Spanish. The office is not that centrally located, but that probably also helps to keep her cost under control. Highly recommended!

Hands down the WORST possible experience !!!! Our paralegal…read morewas possibly the rudest , most unpleasant unprofessional person on the planet . Our experience was brutal , lengthy and ridiculously expensive . We went with this firm because of the rating and reviews - DONT make the same mistake we did...... I live out of state and my parents were based in Florida. We were looking for a group that would make this as seamless and easy as possible. Instead, we got confrontational rude and unprofessional. We dealt with Fernando twice and then he passed us off to his cronie Maribel. Maribel has no business dealing with people in general, especially people that are grieving the loss of their parents and trying to handle an estate from out of state. Every time my brother or I spoke with this individual, it seemed as if we were a complete bother to her - she was hands down the rudest " professional " I have ever had the displeasure of paying to work for us. Our estate was VERY small $237k - split between 3 youths ( as one share ) and 2 adults and yet we paid them 37k !!!!!!!!! An utterly ridiculous amount !~ Sadly and unfortunate for us , this was a process we knew nothing about and did not interview or research other firms so please do your research before going with these people.

As a mother, I want to make sure that everything is in order if something happens to me. I am grateful for their assistance and willingness to always be available and answer any questions.
