SERVING CLIENTS WITH RESPECT

We first began working with Deana in 2005 for some small corporate matters. Since then, she has become an invaluable resource for both business and personal matters. Not only has our corporation been running smoothly under her guidance, but she has been a safety net for all our personal family matters as well. She has assisted multiple generations in our extended family through estate planning and has guided us through personal legal issues. She is truly a well-rounded resource whom we turn to and rely upon for all of life’s twists and turns.
