"I have been a client of Handelin Law for six years. I have worked with Steve and Amber. They prepared my will and trust and have since amended it on two occasions. They also prepared my Buy Sell agreement for my self and my business partner. I am very happy with their work. They are thorough and appear to be current on their directions and suggestions. I am always pleased at how reasonable their services are as well. Keep up the great work!"
