I found myself in need of having essential legal documents completed with an elderly family member. Things were also tricky due to my family member not living locally. Jennifer Scharf and her team were excellent to work with. They were able to accommodate our needs and were kind, patient, and informative. It is so important to get critical legal documents completed prior to truly needing them. I would strongly recommend anyone to use The Coppola Firm for their legal needs. They showed my family member the dignity and respect they deserved and were very easy to work with.
