What Our Clients Are Saying
Richard Williams2024-05-29My wife and I wanted to update our Living Trust and were recommended to visit Vermillian Law locally. I have to say that Leigh Cowden and her team of very professional colleagues (Cat and Allison) were most impressive in the two meetings we had, discussions and advice offered. Leigh was upfront about related fees and the time period to complete the Trust update. Follow-up signing meeting was thorough and provided an opportunity to understand all that was contained in the page-by-page update. Very professional service with minimal time required on our part. I would strongly recommend Vermillian Law to anyone and you will surely be as satisfied as we have been.

The Process
How Our Client Relationships Start
Most clients enter our practice through a referral of a trusted friend, family member, or professional advisor or through attendance at a seminar. Our referral sources are often financial planners, bankers, attorneys, insurance agents, accountants, and others who work with people and their assets. They refer clients who are important to them because they know they can trust us to do an excellent job and treat their referrals like family.
Our First Meeting
We have a conversation either over the phone, Zoom, or in person about our services, your needs, and what we can do to assist you. The fee and costs related to these services are disclosed up front, and if you wish to proceed, we complete a Legal Services Agreement and collect part of the fee up front to begin the work.
