I engaged Carolynne Burkholder-James to probate a will and also to deal with the legal aspects of two home sales. She was wonderful to work with. She took the time to ensure I understood the process every step of the way. I found her invoices for services to be more than fair. I will use her whenever I can and recommend her highly! Prior to hiring Carolynne, I had an extremely hard time trying to locate the original copy of a very old will. I was told it was Mr. Marcotte that eventually found it for me, when it wasnt even his firm that drafted it. It was a few weeks of phone calls to law firms

I recently met with Mr Marcotte regarding a property transfer. He was very friendly and easy to talk to. He insured that I fully understood what I was signing. I found the office staff to be very friendly and helpful and I would highly recommend him and his office for property transfers.

Went to see about getting my homeowner's grant, and couldn't deal with the issue compently. Complete disregard for the law as it applies to citizens. I can see why the Queen's service award was granted by his peers, as he will only act in their best interest.

I warn everyone of this company. We sold a house through them and they have zero regard for their clients interests and could careless what the end result is. No communication whatsoever. No follow ups. They didn't even have the proper documents for the house sale... What an embarrassing situation. They are incompetent, period.

Only gave one star as it would not allow me to post my review with no stars. Horrible experience. Used Tamara Godwin for the purchase of our home, she could not have been less concerned with our best interest and was more concerned that the copany selling us the home was happy and that their concerns were taken care of. When we voiced our complaint to the owner, Tamara made up stories to cover her hind end. Her office could not even get my name or address correct on the paperwork. Complete conflict of interest and unbelievably rude to the point of yelling at us. Would warn anyone to use a different
