"My husband and I are very happy with the services we received from Cunningham Legal. They helped us navigate the legal administration of a family living trust upon the death of both the trustees. Rochelle and her paralegal, Andrea, were always kind, responsive, and know all the legal ropes that can hang up a successor trustee\/heir in the execution of the Trustee’s duties. We highly  recommend them to anybody in similar circumstances."

"I am very appreciative of the service I received from Cunningham Legal in regards to the administration of my parents' trust.  Rachelle Lee-Warner and Danielle Johnson were so helpful to explain what needed to be done, connect me to the right people, and in answering my many questions.  Even when the pandemic hit, there were no breakdowns in communication.  My work on the estate took twice as long as anyone expected, and I was often overwhelmed.  I am most grateful for their kindness and patience to stand beside me until everything was finally completed.  Thank you!"

"Andrea and Rachelle I am truly grateful and appreciative of all your support and guidance through the administration of my parents trust. Losing both of them during a time when the world was at odds made it difficult to get anything done. You kept me on track with everything I needed to know or do.  I couldn’t have done it without both of you. Though I didn’t get to work with you in person I always felt like you cared and always went the extra mile. I was blessed to have had you two to help me through this. Thank you so much."

5/5
"Just wanted to thank Rachelle Lee Warner (Attorney and Partner) and Danielle Johnson (Senior Lead Trust Administration Paralegal) for handling my late parents’ family trust administration -- and my brother’s third-party special needs trust matters -- with great skill, expertise and attention to detail.  Rachelle represented me in court as potential successor trustee for my brother, and everything went smoothly. Initially I believed I would be able to handle the legal matters on my own, but of course I was wrong.  Without being pushy, Rachelle expertly explained to me the various items that a trustee and executor needed to accomplish. I look forward to working with this team as any further legal needs arise, and I highly recommend Rachelle and Danielle to other trustees or executors needing help with trust administration or a special needs trust."
