Extremely Responsive to All My Questions

“I am a trust client of Paula and I cannot say enough positive things about her/their knowledge of trusts and estate planning. She has always been extremely responsive to my questions and concerns and educates me in the process. I have referred my son and a close friend to her, and they are also very pleased. I was referred to her by a friend in family law, and I remain impressed.”

– Anne B., Client

Ms. Robinson is an Excellent Attorney

“Ms. Robinson is an excellent attorney. She and her firm have represented our company as corporate counsel for over 30 years. I have worked with Marla for over 20 years, and she is extremely knowledgeable, articulate, responsive, helpful – the list goes on. She can form a corporation or LLC, write or revise a contract within minutes, and she’s a highly effective negotiator. She and her colleagues have seen us through countless corporate ventures, contract negotiations, employee matters, and more.”

– Aimee M., Client

Timely, Professional, and Reasonable

“Ms. Clarkson inherited me when my attorney left his practice to serve as a judge, so I was a bit apprehensive using this firm initially. But after my first visit, and every time since over the last few years, Ms. Clarkson and her staff have done everything I needed in a very timely, professional, and reasonable manner. I highly recommend this firm for your Estate planning.”
