Terrific!

“I returned to Ms Simms for an update on my estate planning and also to discuss asset protection in case I ever need nursing home care. She really is terrific- smart, thorough, and very kind. Her new office located in Port Orange is welcoming, warm, and she wisely served plenty of water and snacks! My wife feels the same and we recommend her highly!” – John


Absolutely the Best!

“My financial advisor found some problem areas in the trust I had and highly recommended Debra to me. She immediately saw that the old trust would have made available to me only the net income and I wouldn’t have been able to touch the principal when I needed it later in life. She fixed this and I had her rewrite my will, power of attorney and designation of health care surrogate…” – Pam

“THANK you for your quick response. My mother has been waiting on a co-trustee to perform his fiduciary duties since February. Thankfully, he called her last night with a plan to move forward. (is this like taking your child to the doctor and they are no longer sick?) It seems clear that your positive reviews on AVVO are well earned. If my mother’s problem turns out not to be solved, I will be sure to contact you again immediately. Kind regards,  Colleen ” – Colleen
