  • Denise was the only one I could trust when I found myself in the nursing home after I fell down and broke my hip. She came to the nursing home to help me with my paperwork and to meet with the care-giving team. She really cares about her clients!

    Diane N.

  • Denise helped all of my college bound children understand the need for a medical and financial power of attorney. She worked with each of them as individual clients and carefully described the pros/cons of each document. I would recommend every parent give their freshman Denise’s number so they can get their documents in place before they go to college.
