Orsbon & Fenninger, LLP

5.0(115)✓ Google-verified

Cyndy Fenninger and Perry Coumas lead a firm clients trust with sensitive estate matters. Most describe straightforward consultations where attorneys explain documents in plain language, making overwhelming processes manageable. Staff-especially Valencia at the front desk-create a comfortable environment. One early interaction with a receptionist fell short on courtesy, though the broader pattern shows consistent warmth across the team. Reviewers name specific strengths: Cyndy's 30 years of experience, willingness to work through complex family dynamics, and follow-up care through probate. Clients appreciate that the firm guides them from initial planning through execution, with attorneys making time for thorough questions and walking families through paperwork during loss.
