Read More- Art HAs a single Dad I needed help with my estate planning and decided to contact Pamela. From the very start of our first call Pamela was very understanding and was able to explain to me what I needed to have in place for my particular situation. This was an important time for me as I knew I needed to get the estate planning right the first time.

This process can be very confusing and also very stressful for some. I mean who really wants to think about their own death!
