Testimonials From Past Elder Law Clients in Eastern Washington & Northern Idaho

“My mom passed away suddenly, and I found myself in a place having absolutely no idea where to start or what to do. I called Evergreen Law offices and they completely took over from there. Time and time again, I have seen people end up in nursing homes, spending their entire life savings that they had intended to go to their children or grandchildren, and instead, it’s eaten up by their costs of care.

When something so simple like coming to Evergreen Estate & Elder Law and having them make the transition very smooth. They listen intently, they zero in on what you’re looking for and what your needs are. They put it all together for you in a nice little package, making the entire process of probate very easy for me, and I trust them implicitly.”

“I’ve known Holland most of her life, and she genuinely cares about people.”

– David L.

“I have known Holland at Evergreen for many years. I had her do my estate planning and end-of-life documents. I didn’t think much of it prior, and then once I had it done, it was just really reassuring knowing that everything was in place. We talked about my needs and what I wanted to go where, and I have more confidence in knowing what’s going to happen with my assets when I pass.”

– David O.

“You know, I never thought I was going to get old, and it was a shock to me that you have to make sure that you have all your ducks in a row. It’s hard because it’s not something that most people really understand. I brought my things in that were important to me, what kind of money I had, and what I wanted to do with my money. It was just relieving to know that I didn’t leave things wide open for my children and my family—that I had made those decisions beforehand.”

– Susan L.

“Anything could happen when you’re away from your own children and we just wanted to feel secure that we had a plan. I worked with Holland and her assistant, and we immediately felt comfortable and relaxed through the process. It’s a lot of deep questions and planning, and my husband and I could kind of bounce ideas off each other—get each other’s opinions—when making these decisions. We just felt like it was more of a conversation and not an interview, and we felt comfortable during the whole process.”

“I did some research and exploration and came upon the offices of Evergreen Elder Law. From the moment I spoke with the receptionist I felt respected, valued and regarded as an important client. I made an appointment for March 20, 2018. When I presented to their offices I spoke with someone who was sympathetic for my loss, confident that their offices could help and exuded competence. I was heartened to note that they were recognized as “Client Choice “Estate Law Office” for 2016.” And my experience with their offices made me a believer.”

“I explained the complications as I perceived them regarding the first PR; the conflict of interest as he was an employee of Wells Fargo Advisors and the person responsible for my father’s investments, part of an unpleasant personal relationship and responsible for not catching errors created in the Wells Fargo offices by incorrectly assigning the same account number on two very different accounts: IRA, individual investment. I also mentioned a potentially problematic relative/beneficiary. This did not seem to be an impediment to Evergreen Elder Law.

The advice I received from Evergreen Elder Law in navigating the difficulties with Wells Fargo were in my best interest. The difficulties with the recalcitrant family member who withheld assets from the estate and refused to sign the beneficiary release was handled with the sole goal of closing the estate with the help of Evergreen Elder Care. Declaration of Completion was filed. In thirty days the estate would be permanently closed. Evergreen Elder Law provided professional, supportive, thoughtful and complete service.”

“When my mother retired it became apparent we as a family needed help, Holland Mcburns was recommended by an acquaintance of the family. She was professional and very thorough and informative. I felt she was very up to date on the current opportunities that would best benefit my elderly mother, and make her retirement years worry free. After working with Mrs Mcburns, it was apparent that many people would benefit from her knowledge and dedication. I highly recommend her, and look forward to working with her on my estate planning.”
