Affordable Attorney Gerling Law Group Chartered

Marla Owczarek is an outstanding Attorney. She came recommended by a neighbor and it was a smart move choosing her over the many competitors in the area. Not only is Marla known in the community but her office was spoken very highly of by Manatee county employees. This gave me assurance I picked the right attorney for the job. Marla is professional and has a keen eye to detail. She comes highly recommended and her pricing is really reasonable.

While we had a positive result in the end with a Trust, Pour Over Will, and PoAs, we had several problems along the way such as: 1) We received a Trust, Will, Living Will document drafts with incorrect Executor information. Not what we had discussed in our initial meeting. 2) One Beneficiary name (my daughter's middle initial) was incorrect stated. 3) The warranty deed which places the house into the Trust was missing from the draft documents sent. My wife was familiar with this process via her father's Trust but a less familiar client might setup a Trust with no assets in that Trust. Not helpful. 4) Our insurance company wanted us to upload a copy of the Trust since our Trust now owned the Home. However, we just received a read-only, encrypted version that could not be uploaded to our insurance company. We asked for an unencrypted version but Affordable Attorney would not send us an unencrypted document. So we had to pay for 40+ pages to be scanned and converted to a PDF. Not helpful. >>Overall, the handoff between our lawyer and the paralegal who prepared the documents was flawed. I question whether documents prepared for other clients are flawed, as well. But thankfully we knew what to look for in this process or we might have had a horrible result.

We had a wonderful experience with Affordable Attorney Gerling Law Group. Everyone was so helpful and friendly. They were very professional, knowledgeable and listened to us to get the best possible outcome possible for our needs now and in the future. We highly recommend them for your estate planning and elder care needs.

Great place to get your business done what ever you might need. Very good at explaining things so you don't feel like you need a degree in law to understand them. I have recommended them to 2 other people and they also were happy. Also affordable. Getting a good honest attorney is not always easy. I will continue to use them if ever I need anything.

Dana is absolutely wonderful and amazing to work with. She broke down everything into more digestible terms and educated us on all of the things we needed for our trust. Meeting with her was convenient and efficient. I would 100% recommend Dana Gerling at Affordable Attorney, Gerling Law Group Chartered to anyone.
