Happy clients make us happy! Here is what Karen had to say about using Michael for her family’s estate plan needs:

“We were very appreciative of Michael Wakefield and his team at Wakefield Law. Michael helped us to continue our estate planning by setting up a trust in our name as well as managing wills and power of attorney documentation. He was very thorough in explaining each document, conveniently worked with our schedules and did the entire process for a reasonable fee. He was communicative and responsive at every turn. We would recommend Michael and his firm to others to handle such services as those above.”
