Smith Pauley LLP

My husband and I recently worked with Julia Palzer for our estate planning, including a Last Will and Testament, Financial Power of Attorney, and Health Care Power of Attorney. We couldn’t be more pleased with the experience and the final documents. From my very first interaction, Julia was responsive, kind, and extremely thorough. She took the time to clearly explain each document, answer all of our questions, and guide us through important decisions so we felt confident and informed every step of the way. Estate planning can feel overwhelming, but Julia made the entire process straightforward and manageable. She provided drafts promptly, welcomed our questions and small revisions, and was incredibly patient and detail-oriented throughout. The final documents were comprehensive, well-organized, and presented in a professional binder with clear instructions for next steps — which we really appreciated. If you are looking for an estate planning attorney who is knowledgeable, trustworthy, and truly cares about her clients, we highly recommend Julia. She and her team made what could have been a stressful process smooth and reassuring.

We had such a great experience working with Julia! She was so kind, patient, and incredibly thorough in explaining each of our options in detail, making sure we fully understood before making any decisions. Her guidance made a complicated process feel simple and manageable. The office staff was also wonderful—friendly, welcoming, and always ready to help. We were referred to Julia by a friend, and now we’ll be recommending her to others too. Thank you, Julia, for making everything such a positive experience!

Julia Palzer was the attorney who helped navigate the Last Will and Testament for me. Julia went above and beyond the help I needed. In fact, I was recovering from open heart surgery and she came to my apartment instead of me trying to go to her office. She is efficient, kind, understanding and knowledgeable...everything and more than I expected. Five gold stars for Julia !
