Very competent, timely and fairly priced services. I highly commend them for wills, power of atty, living wills etc.etc

My estate planning attorney Joan Keston’s practice shuttered after a long and distinguished run. I was grateful to find Four Pillars after my wife passed recently. The legal documents they prepared for me were clear, intelligently ordered and precisely expressed my desires. Good people who are over the top competent.

Friendly Staff and Welcome Committee

Kelly drew up wills, healthcare powers of attorney, and a deed to protect my home from possible claims by Medicaid. She seemed knowledgeable, efficient, and sensitive to my needs and the costs was reasonable. Her administrative assistant was gracious and proficient--and Barrister🐶, her sweet office manager, seemed happy to see me!

After having done Estate Planning many years ago with the assistance of an attorney in a large law firm, meeting Kelly was a pleasure - both professionally and personally - after moving to the Wilmington area. I particularly like the fact she runs lean & mean and doesn’t have a lavish office and big staff, which equates to her being directly involved in your legal affairs rather than punting the work to multiple paralegals. If you need professional legal counsel, you won’t regret calling Kelly! Less
