Client Comments

  • She has been our lawyer for over 10 years. She has a wonderful understanding of our legal situation. She has attended training with us from the Council on Foundations to better understand the new regulations regarding foundations and nonprofits. She is one of only two lawyers in state with "real" expertise in nonprofit law. She is extremely ethical. She and Melody Simpson are the only lawyers I would recommend for nonprofit use.
