Client Reviews
So much love for Loose Law! Always responsive, always accommodating, even when we were dealing with health issues that caused a lot of juggling! Leighten as our lawyer was so easy to work with, and Rachael and Laura always made us feel welcomed and put us at ease. So happy with the quality experience we received along with the quality work! And bonus, they went above and beyond to have staff help me with a completely non-law related issue! Nothing but love for Loose Law!
Our experience at this firm was EXCEPTIONAL!! Leighten, Rachael, and Laura were very professional, helpful, and thoughtful. All of our questions and concerns were addressed and answered way beyond our expectations. They are the BEST!! We will definitely be recommending them to all our friends and relatives.
My wife and I recently had Loose Law Group create our Wills and Trusts. Leighten was great to work with and Rachael was very responsive! We had such a good experience that we took another Trust that my wife had to Loose Law Group and had it re-written because we could not get responses from her original attorneys. We will definitely use Loose Law Group again and highly recommend them to everyone!
We have used Loose Law Group for the past several years. I have always received superior service from everyone there. We have trusted this firm for our estate planning and wills and powers of attorney. Our last experience was with Leighten. Leighten took the time to listen to our situation and concerns and answered our questions. She made helpful suggestions and gave advice that was in our best interest. Rachel was also empathic and very professional. They have definitely earned our business and we will continue to use them for our legal needs.
I was so impressed with this law firm. They gave me free books to educate myself prior to starting our Trust so that we made the best decisions for our family. Leighten stayed late on a Friday night for us to come and sign documents. They all went above and beyond for us. I highly recommend Loose Law group to anyone needing estate planning services! Must also mention they work fast so no worrying about getting things done quickly if it’s an urgent matter. Excellent!!
We recently used their office to prepare our trust and other important documents for our family’s legacy. We loved how affordable and quick they were. Leighten was very professional and thought of everything. Rachel was great at making appointments and made everything very smooth and like we were at home. They all took very good care of us. We are so happy we choose to go here! We will be recommending for all our family and friends to go here.
We had such a positive experience today with Leighten and her team. They handled our estate and trust planning with so much detail and ease. I was pregnant with my second kid when we decided to do our estate planning and the accommodation that they were able to provide from start to finish is just so reassuring and great. Will definitely recommend!
