From Julie Garber:
I have a thorough love for what I do and enjoy sharing my knowledge and experience with anyone willing to listen. I view estate planning not as a one time transaction but as a life long process that must change as the law, client and lawyer changes. With this as a back drop, one of my professional goals is to convince people to see lawyers in a different light by making them understand the real value that their estate planning attorney can add to their lives and to the lives of their family.
