WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

“I just wanted to let you know that we signed our papers today, to be filed tomorrow morning. Afterward, we walked around downtown, got coffee, then went to lunch. It was a great way to end “the process.” We have so much to be thankful for, not the least of which is your help and guidance through all of this. The Universe truly did bring you to us because you were meant to get us to this point and you did!”

“Working with Brenda has been life-changing. Not only is she an excellent planner, but she also educates along the way and has a unique perspective of financial security after divorce. I highly recommend Brenda as a partner in charting a secure and successful future.”

“Brenda has been a CFDA and more for me as I progressed through a very complicated time in my life! I knew I could trust her to explain and educate me in my divorce process. She provided everything I needed to draft and ultimately finalize my financial divorce matters. Even more importantly, she coached me with patience and creative solutions to resolve matters in a timely manner. She was a critical team member to finalize my divorce and set up my new financial life.”

“Working with Brenda was an island of clarity and empowerment during a confusing time. She always took the time to answer my questions and kept me focused on the essentials of each task, so I didn’t drown in minutiae. She was able to bring up issues I hadn’t thought about and gave me the space to make the right decisions for myself.”
