I can't sat enough good things about Kristi and her team. They were absolutely amazing throughout the entire probate process. What was a difficult and overwhelming situation was made so much easier thanks to their guidance, professionalism, and support. They provided clear, step-by-step instructions that helped me understand exactly what to expect, and their communication was excellent. I truly felt like I was in good hands from start to finish. I highly recommend them to anyone navigating the probate process.

I had a consultation with Kristi McCart today for a personal matter, and I was incredibly impressed. She was a great listener, patient, and empathetic. She clearly explained my options and gave me quick but realistic solutions becaus she knows what she was doing. I could tell that she doesn't work for money. I highly recommend Kristi to anyone looking for a lawyer who is knowledgeable, professional, and compassionate.

Laurel Tesmer is without a doubt the best family law and estate attorney that I know - and I know a LOT of them. While I haven’t had the pleasure to work with her partner, I know that anyone with whom Laurel works is also incredible. As a financial advisor who works with high income and high net worth clients, my clientele regularly need family law and estate planning help. I am extremely cautious with the people I refer, so the greatest compliment that I can give Laurel is that I trust her implicitly with my clients. I’ve experienced Laurel’s work firsthand while doing joint meetings with clients. She has an incredible breadth of knowledge and is exceptionally trustworthy. I can’t say enough about the level of care and client service that she shows. This is especially important when dealing with the potentially sensitive situations that arise in family and estate law Thank you for all that you do for our clients, Laurel!
