Client Review

“Went to see Ed Gudeman for a Will and Testament. Mr. Gudeman explained about Wills versus Trusts and all the laws surrounding each and what would be best for our situation. We were amazed how much information needs to be collected to use in the trust. It took about 6 weeks to compile everything and then a draft copy was given to us to read and correct any mistakes,errors or changes. Working with the legal assistant Samantha was very easy and reassuring. I will recommend Gudeman and Associates to anyone that needs their Will or Trust set up.”
