TO OUR CLIENTS We welcome
referrals from your friends, neighbors, and co-workers. Ann concentrates her
law practice on estate planning and probate matters, and has prepared over one
thousand estate plans. New clients are offered a free, no obligation 30
minute consultation. During the initial appointment, we will determine your
specific estate planning needs and goals. The potential cost of probate
and tax which would occur with your current plan will be analyzed, and methods
of reducing costs and accomplishing goals will be discussed. An exact
quote on fees for estate planning will be provided before you decide to
authorize completion of your estate plan.
Ann welcomes the
chance to speak to your group.
Please contact our
office if you are interested in any of the above services.
POLICIES REGARDING
LEGAL SERVICES AND FEES
Your problems are given Ms.
Shaw’s continuing personal attention in order to attain the maximum result
possible in the most reasonable time.
Quality legal services, good
results for you and early completion of your work require skill and time which
are a lawyer’s “stock in trade,” as Abraham Lincoln described them over one
hundred years ago. Generally, the attorneys fees charged by this office are
based on Ms. Shaw’s skill and time expended, although some situations may
involve other factors.
This office can usually quote a fixed fee for certain
services, such as the drafting of documents needed for your estate plan. If Ms.
Shaw’s consultation with you reveals the need for further study of the law or
the facts before an opinion can be rendered, this further step will be discussed
with you and a reasonable fee, calculated on the same basis, will be charged.
If the case requires further work, arrangements to undertake this will be
discussed between Ms. Shaw, as your
lawyer, and you, as the client.
