Small Estate Probate

Probate

Trust Administration

"Every step of the way, Julia was there. She was extremely organized, anticipated questions, she held our hands (figuratively), and walked us through all of the proceedings. She knew her stuff, and it showed. There is nobody I would rather have on my side than Julia Rice when a lawyer is actually needed. And when you don’t need a lawyer, Julia is a fun and interesting person to have a coffee with."

As the details of the estate plan were taking shape, she was able to explain the information in a way that was easy to understand and interesting. Her depth of knowledge is impressive."
