Reed Spellman
"There's a lot of emotion involved in estate planning and probate matters. I'm often meeting my clients when they've just lost a loved one, or when family infighting is coming to a head. I take the time to understand their needs and goals, advise them with a cool head, and help them get a view of the bigger picture."
