        Overall
        Wonderful people

        Pat Handlin and Sovana have been so helpful to me over the last three years since I was made guardian of my two elderly aunts. I could not have done it with out them. They have been so kind and have gone out of their way to assist me in what needed to be done. I recommend them to anyone that needs legal representation.
