"If you're looking for someone who is detail oriented and efficient, Valerie should be your first call.  We utilized Valerie to prepare our Wills, Living Wills, POAs, etc. In the process she discovered the deed to our property was not titled in the best fashion and helped us correct that as well. I highly recommend Valerie to all my tax clients…I’m sure you won’t be disappointed!"
