Testimonials
We Are Humbled By 200+ Five-Star Reviews From Clients On Yelp And Google
“The idea of creating a living trust and going through the process (all of the paperwork, time, etc we thought it would take to complete) was very overwhelming, but Alex made the process so simple! She was very professional,... extremely thorough and completed our trust in only 3 meetings. We can’t thank her enough for her hard work and patience that she had with us as we made such important decisions in our children’s lives. We recommend her to everyone who doesn’t have a trust (the reason usually being because the idea just seemed too much to have to go through). She’s the best!” Read more
“If you are in the market for an attorney with heart, then Alex is your best choice. Kind, smart and passionate about her work. She turned my experience into a painless, enjoyable process. Within a couple of months I had my living... trust in place. She listened to my requests and worked around my schedule to accommodate my needs. Thank you Alex for all your hard work!” Read more
“If you are like me and you have been thinking of putting together your living trust and perhaps you have been thinking of doing it yourself with information you research online or with an online service, do yourself a favor and call... The Wagon Legacy. Alex is very knowledgeable, professional, personable, kind, passionate and absolutely amazing. She gathered all of my information and put together a presentation that put it all in perspective, she took the time to explain everything and answered all my questions. I am so happy I chose her to help me through this process, she made it as painless as possible and worked with my schedule to get things done. Thank you Alex, you are the best!” Read more

“Working with Alex Varela has been an absolute pleasure. Alex is a caring attorney who is working to help people secure a better future for their children. Her kindness is evident in everything that she does, from working with families... to being patient and understanding. She is quite knowledgeable and offers clear explanations regarding the topics of her field. My husband and I lacked knowledge about trusts, wills, and anything of the matter; Alex assisted us by informatively answering all of our questions. Her professionalism motivated us to continue with our plans. We had been considering creating a trust for many years, and we never felt ready to share such personal information with anyone until we met Alex. She is trustworthy, hard working, and very organized. Thank you, Alex, for everything that you did to help us have a restful mind regarding the future.” Read more
