West Webb was referred to me from a friend. On the event of probating my mother's will, I had the fortuitous occasion of working with one of your awesome team members, Kris Yager. Kris and I instantly hit it off. Kris is currently working a file with me to review and update my living trust. He has been very helpful in explaining the contents and provisions previously written that require amending. He has been very understanding in addressing my concerns and he has been very helpful in negotiating ideas to provide special gifts written in the trust. This week, I flipped Kris a farm and ranch real estate contract to review on a property I am wishing to purchase before years' end. His vast experience and knowledge of rural property ownership has very much helped guide me through the purchase provisions. He flipped the review with comments in less than 24 hours, which has provided me an advantage over other competitive buyers. I wish to provide Kris, Gloria, and all the team members of your awesome firm that I have worked with a very special mention. I have had a first in class experience working with your firm on these three matters.
