I wholeheartedly recommend the Law Office of Melinda McNicholas! My mother passed away leaving a tangled web of financial, real estate and other issues. Melinda was able to help me navigate through probate with ease while streamlining the process for me and my sister. Melinda’s professionalism, expertise, compassion and caring for my family during this period was instrumental in allowing us to reach closure efficiently and cost effectively. Melinda also established a living trust for me so my children won’t have to deal with the added stress that comes with losing a loved one.

When we were ready to create an estate plan, we decided to contact Melinda Ellis who had successfully worked with my mother.  We liked the way she walked us through the process, resulting in the trust we wanted.  We were so pleased, we have referred several family friends to Melinda.  We KNOW they are in good hands with Melinda Ellis

For years we wanted to set up a living trust, but didn’t know where to start. We weren’t comfortable preparing such important documents ourselves with an online service. Melinda McNicholas gave us personal service without the big firm price tag. We’re so glad we finally have our estate plan completed.

When my husband passed away, I needed my trust revised. I used Melinda McNicholas. I was very pleased with her advice and the new trust. I really appreciate the time she spent with me answering questions and helping me through this process.

I am the caregiver for my great-niece, who is developmentally disabled. After she turned 18, a conservatorship was needed in order for me to have the legal authority to make her special education and medical decisions. I needed help. Melinda Ellis guided me through the process of establishing the conservatorship with professionalism and patience. She completed all the necessary documents and represented me at the court hearing. The judge appointed me as the conservator without a problem. Now I can continue to care for and protect my great-niece, even though she is an adult.

When my Mom passed away, I needed assistance with navigating through the Probate Court’s estate administration process.  Melinda advised me each step of the way regarding my duties as the Executor of the Estate and she took care of completing and filing all the paperwork.  She always responded promptly to my emails and phone calls.  We worked so well together that my mother’s Estate was closed earlier than anticipated.  Melinda’s experience and guidance were a godsend during a difficult time.  I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to a friend.
