Most people put off estate planning because it feels like something they can deal with later. But without a will or trust in place, Arizona courts step in and decide who inherits your assets, regardless of what you would have wanted. Your estate may be forced through probate court, a process that can drag on for years, cost your family thousands in legal fees, and delay distributions when your loved ones need them most.
Our approach is personal, practical, and built around your family's specific needs. Whether you're creating a will, establishing a trust to avoid probate, or updating a plan that no longer reflects your life, we provide clear legal guidance designed to protect what you've built and give you confidence about what comes next.

Patrick met with my husband and myself and we found him to be understanding and really felt he had integrity so we are relieved that we found his law office and would highly recommend this practice.

I’ve used this firm twice. Both times helped by Julie, and I couldn’t be more pleased. She went way above and beyond expectations. I was in a real time crunch and she did everything possible to help me meet the deadline. Very nice to work with as well. Can’t recommend enough.
Peggy and Patrick were wonderful to work with. Very patient and explained everything throughout the process. I think we got the best result we could have hoped for and couldn’t have done it without them. Thank you!
