awesome, awesome, and awesome……did I say awesome? because this is……Awesomenous personified
Nobody works harder for their clients or shows more integrity.
Amanda helped me and my husband create our wills and trusts. She was knowledgeable, empathetic, and patient while we tried to determine the best way to ensure that our estate would protect our family if the absolute worst happened. I highly recommend Amanda for any estate needs.
[Amanda is] Really knowledgeable and able to filter out what I need to know to make the best decision for my own estate planning needs, while leaving out the noise. Such a helpful skill to have when dealing with estate planning (I had been putting this off for some time)!
Top notch service and professionalism! This is one of those things you dread doing, but something no one should wait to do, especially last minute. Heights Law made it smooth, simple and explained everything we needed to know to feel secure should something happen to one of us!
Amanda is great! She Helped us understand everything and prepares all the paperwork for our Will and estate planning needs.
Amanda Pierson went way above and beyond her job description getting me exactly what I wanted and needed, taking time to explain to me what everything means and does. Beautiful. So happy and relaxed about having my docs done!
