Jun 15, 2018 Report

I had some very difficult family Will & Estate issues being my Mother's Executix and I sought advice from Bryce Jeffrey. I found him to be knowledgable and congenial in our initial and subsequent appointments. He was able to provide the services I was in need of to assist me to remedy most of my issues... and the fee was incredibly low... so far way and above and beyond fair!!!! The only thing that was slightly negative with my encounter was in the "timing" as I happened to visit just before he went on a vacation (I think likely a well deserved one!) and so it took a bit longer than I anticipated
