Testimonials

We first reached out to Christine and Cava & Faulkner in 2013 when my father became incapacitated. My parents trust had been written in the early 1990’s and hadn’t been properly updated throughout the years after my moms passing in 1999. Christine and everyone we worked with at Cava & Faulkner were absolute life savers during one of the most difficult time of my life. When we couldn’t find the original attorney who set up the trust, Christine stepped up and reviewed the entire trust. She broke it down for us in plain English explaining what all was needed to stay with in the confines of the trust and get it brought up to date. After my dads passing in 2015, Christine once again walked us through finalizing the trust and made sure everything was closed out the right way. Every question we had was always answered promptly, respectfully and in great detail. Having Christine and Cava & Faulkner by our sides during this time saved us so much time and heartache. Without all of the help we received from Christine, there’s no way we could have properly navigated my parents trust.- Codi Berg

I was referred to Christine Faulkner by my financial advisor. I was wanting to get a living trust and didn’t know much about what it entailed. I knew it was important for me and needed guidance in the process. I had so much to learn and Christine was very patient in educating me on things so I could make informed decisions. Christine took the time to listen to make sure the plans reflected my desires. Christine’s expertise, knowledge and caring manner as well her assistant Jean Marie, always made me feel confident that my affairs were being handled with people who were looking out for my best interests. Christine has become a trusted friend and has helped advise me in other areas from her wealth of knowledge regarding legal matters. I highly recommend Christine to anyone trying to protect their estate and make sure things are handled the way they desire at the end of their life- Michelle M.

My wife and I needed complete family Trust, Wills and care directives for our kids and assets in the event of our death. Christine Faulkner handled all our family estate planning needs professionally. Our goal was to have peace of mind knowing if tragedy happened our kids will be cared for in the manner we decided on, and out assets being used for that purpose. We are comforted in knowing this is in place. Christine reached out for estate review and updates on a scheduled basis. We are quite pleased with the service from Cava & Faulkner Law firm.- Steve Cranny

The estate planning process is so important and yet so overwhelming. A friend of ours recommended Christine, and I have to say, my husband and I could not be happier with our choice to move forward with Cava & Faulkner. Christine is both personable and professional, and her knowledge base of estate planning, business complications, family dynamics, and the law in general is impressive. We will be passing her information along to everyone we know! - Kate Carroll

THE PERSONAL FAMILY LAWYER PROMISE

What makes PFL lawyers different?

How you hire us.

We begin with a comprehensive inventory of everything you own, and everyone you love, and consider it all in a working meeting, called a Family Wealth Planning Session, to guide you to clarify your financial life and legacy goals before we draft a single document.
How we plan.

We work with you throughout every life stage to map out the most likely scenarios for you and the people you love, planning for each as your life, the law, and your assets change over time.
What we protect.

Our Life & Legacy Planning process ensures everything that matters most -- from your financial assets to your values, insights, stories and experience -- are captured and documented during your life and cared for over the generations to come.
What you see.

Transparency in our process, and our fees … all of which are flat fees, agreed to in advance, based on your choices and with no surprises, ensuring we stay on the same side of the table - supporting you to make a lifetime of great decisions - every step of the way.
How we deliver.

Our systems help you get clear and organized, overcoming the exact issues that keep most estate plans from actually working when they are needed most. We help you leave your family with a gift of love, and not a mess.
How our plans work.

One-and-done estate plans focused only on money are a recipe for a big mess. We help you throughout every stage of life and be there for the people you love, when you can’t be.
