Testimonials

The kind of attorney you want on your side!

Marjorie Fortner came highly recommended from a personal friend. From the initial consultation through loan closure, Marjorie was thorough, consultative, and an advocate on my behalf. She actually answered questions that I didn't know I needed to ask. There was a point in reviewing the closure documentation where she did not feel one of the terms was standard, nor in my best interest. She made it her personal mission to advocate for me and ensure I had full understanding before going to the closing table.

Marjorie is the kind of attorney you want on your side (no matter the transaction)!
