Sanborn Law P.C.

I hired Ms. Sanborn and furnished a $5,000.00 retainer as requested. Her task was to submit a probate petition and attend the court hearing. At the hearing the judge asked her where the petition was because he wanted to read it. Her reply: “It was submitted yesterday.” The judge continued the hearing date three months hence. Meanwhile, Ms. Sanborn stated that I needed to consider either litigation, ADR or an evidentiary hearing. I declined on the fact that my petition had not been read. Nonetheless, without my knowledge or consent, she made extensive preparations for an evidentiary hearing. Furthermore, she: 1.) padded the bill for the initial task, thereby retaining the $5000.00 retainer and 2.) charged me for the additional, unauthorized work. I declined to pay additional funds. She declared that the debt would be forgiven, sent an IRS W2 form, indicating that if I did not comply, I would be penalized by the IRS. I did not comply and was deemed dishonest.

Dealing with end of life decisions isn’t something I was preparing for, but I’m extremely thankful I was able to entrust most of the difficult work into the hands of a competent and trustworthy attorney such as Marlene Sanborn. She and her staff are amazing! Over the years she has helped me in preparing for my own estate plan and end of life wishes in a healthcare directive, but she’s also helped me navigate the passing of loved ones and dealt with all the daunting details of administering their trust. Marlene is the no-nonsense, tireless advocate that you want on your side; no matter what the situation, she’s knowledgeable and experienced in so many facets of life. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with potentially the most important decisions you’ll ever make.

Marlene Sanborn good for what she's doing expensive

Marlene is a wonderful person who will take the time to answer all your questions on estate planning, probate, and conservatorships. She is detailed and patient in her work.

Top notch attorney with affordable rates. Pleasure to work with and always working hard for her clients. She treated me with incredibly high priority and delivered fantastic results. I highly recommend Marlene
