Marisa helped us with our estate planning. Despite having a child, we'd put it off for a number of years. We found Marisa through Yelp. She also provided references when we asked.

Marisa has helped me for the last 5+ years with our planning needs. She was able to help get our Illinois estate plan transitioned to be California compliant and up to date.

She has also just assisted us with updating durable powers for my son who turned 18 at the beginning of the month - she is on top of it all! I highly recommend Marisa and her entire team.
