Shadi is Fabulous…. She is REAL. She answered my concerns & questions and made a bad situation hopeful. Shadi I believe handles Trustees & I am a beneficiary. When I step up to trustee in the future, I want her law firm to represent my family trust. Thank you so much.

I have used Asset Protection and Elder Law Center a few times over the years for my family’s estate planning needs. They do a fantastic job. I would use them again and refer them to anyone I know. Valerie Pasion was the attorney that helped me and she did a fantastic job.
