Margaret Stockdale assisted me in compiling both my will and enduring powers of attorney (financial/legal and medical).

She created an environment that allowed me to feel relaxed, never rushed and assured that all my affairs are now in order.
Response from the owner:Mary, thank you for your heartfelt review. Margaret is pleased she could create a comfortable and supportive environment for you while handling such important and sensitive matters. Wishing you all the best.
