We've Helped A Lot Of Families Plan Their Future

"Our parents selected Johanna Pickel’s law practice in 2016 when their trust needed updating as well as to set up a Special Needs Trust for one of our brothers who became disabled. She provided advice when needed and if she did not know the answers she found someone who did. She or her staff would come to our parents’ house to get documents signed and notarized or would make herself available to us at our convenience in person, on the phone or via email to answer any questions we had. She still provides any assistance we need as we continue to finalize Mom and Dad’s Trust and operate on behalf of my brother’s needs. Our family would highly recommend her and her firm to anyone who needs elder law and/or special needs assistance."
