Testimonials

I contacted Shirley Bade after a failure to complete a Will, Trust and general organization of our affairs with another highly recommended Estate Attorney in Spokane. I was a widow and my current husband was married & divorced before we meet. This added extra decisions and considerations to be made. Combined children, a Business, Rental Properties etc. Our first attempt at getting “our affairs in order” fell by the wayside for over a year. What Shirley did that the other Attorney failed to do for us, was gently walk us through the process in a step-by-step program that allow us to bite off a piece at a time. Shirley would contact us with what we needed to do NEXT. Never overwhelming us with the whole process. She politely urged us through it. I would say like a “good Mother” sort of approach -- but what turned out to be a "good Attorney" approach. Let’s face it, no one really wants to do Estate Planning, however we have all heard about the disaster people have been left with if it wasn’t properly addressed. Shirley is also a CPA, a much added benefit to planning.

Shirley has worked for many of my clients over the years and they have expressed that they were comfortable with her style of building a close relationship with families, and making the estate planning process clear and easy to understand. Her ability to do tax work also is a value to client's who have tax issues associated with estates. Trusts and Wills are explained in easy to understand talks. We both are members of Professional’s Serving Seniors, a local elder- educational organization. Shirley is always available for questions concerning estates, and is there for you at difficult times, such as losing a loved one or close family member.

As an Elder Care Advocate, I have worked with many people who have been assisted with estate planning issues. Many of those clients report that they have been very pleased with the estate planning services of Shirley Bade Law Firm. Shirley is prompt and helped them understand their estate planning  documents (Wills, Trusts and other essential documents) that they have executed. She answers questions and explains the importance of the documents in layman's language.
