Recommendations
"Stacey was recommended to me as a successful, knowledgeable probate lawyer. This was my first, and hopefully last, experience with having to legally defend myself. She did a great job of explaining the steps involved in my case. She listened to my input. You can count on Stacey to make certain you receive the dedication you deserve, and the resources your case needs for the best possible outcome."
- Terry G.
"Stacey was instrumental in assisting our family with getting my mother approved for Medicaid, in fact she was successful when a previous attorney was not! She was always professional, prompt and helpful. We are very appreciative of the hard work she put in on our behalf."
- Aimee S.
"I HIGHLY recommend working with Jeremy Keel; I just finished working with him on my estate planning and am thoroughly impressed. He was professional, kind, communicative, informative and patient with me throughout the entire process. He helped navigate me through an unfamiliar process that I feel confident about now that it’s complete. Would definitely recommend him!"
- Carolyn M.
"I've been using Stacey's legal skills for over 10 years (I've had to make changes and updates over the years), and I am very confident that she knows what she's doing. I would recommend her to anyone for wills and trusts, especially if you have a family member with special needs."
- L.D. Johnston
