Hired Attorney

I have been a client of Teresa Bowman for several years and feel so secure knowing I can rely on her and her associate, Rachel Schadt, to guide me through the many legal issues involved with estate planning and my care as I get older. I feel confident my children will be in good hands when the time comes to settle my estate or if I am in need of care in the future. Both Teresa and Rachel are warm, caring and down-to-earth as well as very knowledgeable in all areas of Elder Law. They are diligent in making sure all of my legal paperwork is up-to-date with the most current regulations. Everyone I have dealt with in Teresa's office is very friendly and makes me feel they care about me as a person. I highly recommend this law firm.

Teresa and her staff were awesome! We had recently moved from NV and needed all of our legal documents reviewed and amended for the state of FL. So glad we made the decision to hire her!

Working with Teresa and her staff has been a very positive experience. At every turn she assisted us in making a very difficult situation more manageable. Her firm practices good communications, professional services, and is always willing to help as needed and beyond. Her professionalism, knowledge, and direction helped us to accomplish our objects at a reasonable cost. We are continuing to work with Teresa as we explore some additionally defined objectives. We are, and have been, very pleased with the services she has provided, always with a positive "can do" attitude. We highly recommend Teresa and her team!

Teresa knows her stuff. My parents have been working with Teresa's practice for a number of years and I have recently been taking over their financial management. She has been patient, personable, and insightful in helping me assume this new role. I can recommend her services without reservation. The form lists Powers of Attorney as the primary legal issue, but we worked together on the full suite of estate documents.

I have referred multiple clients to Teresa over the past few years and I have received positive feedback from each client in regards to how Teresa was able to handle their specific situation. She is able to make a complicated process easy and always carries herself in the most professional manner. I will continue sending clients to Teresa for any of their estate planning and advocacy needs.
