TESTIMONIALS

"In seeking help to prepare my will and estate plan, Peter Welsh came highly recommended and now I highly recommend him to you. On our first meeting, Peter was very warm and welcoming, which set the stage for a very pleasant experience during the entire process of drafting my will. Peter genuinely cares as he listened attentively and, with great attention to detail, made sure all my wishes - big and small - were addressed, explored, explained and appropriately included. Peter was very professional and was enthusiastic to share his great wealth of knowledge, taking time to answer and explain in detail any questions or concerns that arose. As strange as it sounds, preparing my will with Peter was a wonderful experience."

Donia Eino

"At a time when my family needed guidance on the handling of our mother's estate, we were fortunate to have the expert services of Peter Welsh. An experienced and thorough professional, Peter dealt with the various necessary departments and governing bodies in an expeditious manner at a time when we didn't need any additional stress in our lives. He just "took care of things". His personal hands on approach and precise attention to detail are just two of the attributes that we appreciated."
