Have you consulted or hired this lawyer?
Leave a review about your experience with this lawyer.I have used Sarah Wenzel and her staff three times and each time they have been knowledgeable, compassionate, responsive to my concerns, excellent at explaining the process, answering my questions and completing the working in a professional and timely manner. I have recommended them several time to friends and associates. I would not use any other firm to handle my legal matters.
We used Sarah Wenzel to do our estate planning trust documents and would highly recommend her and her team! The process was very organized and we are very happy that we chose her. Each meeting was highly productive and we feel like we really understand our documents and the future scenarios. We are confident we have a good plan that covers our bases!
Ms. Wenzel was all you would want from an estate planning attorney- knowledgeable, responsive, organized, and practical. We're happy we had her as our counselor. Any question that we had regarding the impacts of the documents were answered quickly and clearly, and gave us a significant comfort level with the final product.
Sarah made a complicated set of legal documents easy to understand and complete. We feel secure in the knowledge that every possible eventuality has been covered and addressed. If you need trust advice, we would highly recommend Wenzel and Wenzel.
Sarah was friendly, well organized and well prepared for each of our meetings. She fully explained all our estate documents and organized our documents into formats that are easy for access when needed later.
Sarah prepared all of our Estate documents to be in compliance with North Carolina law. We had this done in Florida and provided those documents to her before our first meeting. We were truly impressed with how thoroughly prepared she was for our first meeting. She was completely familiar with our prior documents and had clear recommendations. Throughout the process of completing our Trusts, Wills, POAs, Living Wills, etc., Sarah explained each aspect clearly, had thoughtful recommendations for our specific needs, and helped us understand the impact of each decision. Sarah's supporting staff were also knowledgeable, efficient, friendly and responsive. We couldn't have asked for better. At the end, we were provided, not only with the documents, but clear written instructions for us and for our survivors. We feel very comfortable that our wishes will be clearly communicated and met.
It was great working with Sarah. She made sure I understood the entire process. She gave me appropriate examples that helped me make the correct decisions. She was very hands-on which made me feel confident that the end product would be precise and accurate. Thank you Sarah!
After working with Sarah rewriting my parents wills as they had moved here to be with me from New Jersey, I appreciated her competence, empathy and help. Upon their deaths, she also helped guide me on probate that I could do myself. We again chose her to rewrite our Estate Plans, which originated in Indiana, to conform with NC laws. She pointed out possible problems with original plan and thoroughly explained why they were problems. We readjusted our plan on her advice. Everything was organized in our Estate Plan book with explanations for heirs on what to do upon our deaths for us to hand to them for future use. She has a wonderful personality which made going through this process a lot more enjoyable.
Sarah prepared our estate planning documents and it was a very professional and streamlined process. She was very thorough in her communication and was responsive to our inquiries.
I truly enjoyed working with Sarah P. Wenzel. She is a true professional. She is very knowledgeable and trustworthy. I would definitely recommend her to my friends.
