“I have always prided myself in putting my clients first, providing a friendly and personal service. Bereavement is not a topic we like to think about and many of my clients don’t even know where to begin. I like to take the time to discuss each step of the Bereavement process, both the legal and non-legal aspects, and find it very rewarding when clients say to me that they feel like a weight has been lifted. I also find it rewarding to know that I am helping to ensure that the client’s wishes are being carried out.”
