We have been working with Hsiao Law for 3 years and I was so thrilled to be an attendees at today’s Wine & Wills event. As a single mom, estate planning seems so scary and overwhelming. Amy is absolutely amazing. She speaks in a way that is so easy to understand and helps you understand difficult subjects what you need to do by providing actionable first steps!

Amy was so helpful and supportive in sharing the preliminary steps and options to getting my affairs in order. This process can be overwhelming, but she provides info in a digestible way to ensure I understood. I want to make the process as easy as possible for my kids/family in the event something happens to me and Amy is making that easy with no surprise fees.

I have already recommended Amy and her team to my friends, family and co-workers. Amy, Ashlee and Nikko are all very professional and knowledgeable. I love the very organized process of getting our trust developed. I also like that it's a one-stop shop for wills, trust and health care directive and PoA. The price is worth the peace of mind.
