"Her professionalism, demeanor, and passion for helping was comforting..."
I highly recommend Maricela as she was very courteous, had compassion on my probate issues, and handled the state requirements clearly and timely. Her professionalism, demeanor, and passion for helping was comforting, especially during a grieving time and all the requirements for probate that I had to endure. To me, it was a long, grueling process, but Maricela explained all the Colorado laws, sent me all the information, handled things via emails and texts, which made things convenient and easier. She was always on top of things, so that there were no grievous expense issues, and had processes and court requirements always defined and well organized. Meeting with her was always a pleasant experience, as she was an efficient multi-tasker, and a dynamic, positive person to be around. She made me feel at ease and treated me with familial care and respect.
