What DeDe’s

Clients Say

Recently I had our trust revised after my husband died. R. DeDe Soto was highly recommended to me. She was recommended for good reasons. She is compassionate, patient and very thorough. She made sure that I understand the content of the trust and how precise the content of the trust needs to be. She walked me through the process, explaining in layman’s terms exactly what needed to be done, what records I needed to provide. I feel secure in her guardianship of my trust. Thank you DeDe!
