Where to begin. First, this woman might have a "law degree" but she is no lawyer. My grandfather chose her to represent his estate in the months prior to his death; the purpose to write up wills and finalize outstanding business my grandmother and he had. Unfortunately, my grandfather was manipulated by his eldest daughter into buying her a home before he and my grandmother died, and then into becoming the sole executor of their estates. After their deaths the executor along with this "attorney" ruined my grandparents good name, and cost their estate thousands of dollars. This end of life attorney failed to advise my grandfather he would need to take his deceased son off his beneficiary lists for stocks and replace him with another heir; my grandfather died thinking I would inherit my fathers equal 1/4 share of said stocks. This attorney has allowed an estate with almost no debt, a paid for home, car, RV, and a two clear cut and dry wills to continue to be unsettled for over two years approaching 3 years. This attorney, refuses to communicate with heirs to the estate; and has befriended the executor on a personal level bending to her will and overlooking the law for her. The executor has been allowed to steal from the estate, and this lawyer knows about it and has refused to do anything about it. If you are looking for an end of life attorney; this lady might be cheap, I wouldn't know she has swindled my grandparents estate for more than $10,000, however, she does not have the interest of her clients at heart. This attorney does not know basic law, she carries a law book to court. This attorney does not have a real office, she has a room in her husbands dental practice, and a phone she never answers or returns phone calls from. BE AWARE of this criminal, do not let her take advantage of your family as she has done mine in their most vulnerable state.
** I would like to add, and update this review** I would like to say after some reflection that some of the things in the review posted were written out of anger; and therefore should be reworded. Mrs. Anderson is a lawyer, she went to law school and chose to become a probate attorney. It is not my job to judge her for where she chooses to practice law; nor is it my job to accuse her of crimes and convict her. It is my OPINION that over the past THREE YEARS, she has shown poor judgement in handling the estate of my grandparents. However, it might be due to the manipulation of the executor of said estate; she is VERY GOOD at manipulating people and lying. My grandparents estate should have been very easy to settle; as posted above. I believe Mrs. Anderson allowed herself to be drawn into something that she was not prepared to deal with, and due to that she has not known how to properly handle the situation. I will say, that I have had conversations with her on the phone and while not very productive she has ALWAYS listened attentively to what i have to say; and even offered some advise. I still would not recommend the services of Mrs. Anderson, due to the fact that I believe she is easily distracted and does not hold the best interest of an estate at heart. That being said, it is not my job to personally judge a person and I apologize for that.
