The entire team, from start to finish, was responsive, patient, and pleasant. I can’t say more positive things about my experience. The underlying issues were overwhelming for me, but Absolute Trust Counsel reassured me and worked with me to a satisfactory resolution. Thank you!

Ms. Howe first met with us and explained very clearly about our options. She explained what her role would be, what we had to do, and what the cost would be. My husband and I had a chance to look over our finances and make the decision on what services we wanted. We then signed the contract, and we were off. Ms. Howe and her staff made our experience positive. Her staff was very informed on our case, and if any problem came up during the process, they quickly got back to us to solve any problem. They kept in close contact with us through email and phone calls. We are very pleased with our trust and will. I have now begun to talk with other members of my family to call Ms. Howe and get their necessary estate work done. I now sleep well at night knowing we have everything in place.
