What People Are Saying

“Christine and her team were wonderful to work with as they assisted our family with our eldercare needs. They are true subject matter experts and were able to clearly articulate our options and answer all of our questions, making the entire process smooth and seamless.

“Justin was fantastic! Handled everything quickly and professionally. Addressed our concerns and made sure we were taken care of. Will continue to use the firm as our needs require!”

~ Dave M.

“My wife and I were VERY pleased with the service that we received from Katherine Heddaeus and staff at Zacharia Brown & Bratkovich in establishing a Supplemental Trust for our adult daughter. This was a challenging undertaking because she lives out-of-state and execution of the trust agreement requires a trustee residing in North Carolina. Katherine did an outstanding job! She listened and understood our needs. She developed a comprehensive supplemental trust document, identified qualified partners in North Carolina, and coordinated all components of our trust in conjunction with our financial advisor. She was VERY patient, diligent, and service-oriented. THANK YOU again!!”

~ Vince S.

“Wonderful ultra-experienced in all senior guidance of legal procedures. Absolutely kind, friendly, and professional. You should actually consider them prior to having an issue or question as they can help guide you on what to expect. Colleen, Marie Ignasky and Sindhu are super at what they do and also great people. My special thanks to all, especially Sindhu for her great effort and communication skills to an old, slow processing, hard of hearing old guy. Thank you much.”
