Caitlyn Bender at McCandlish Lillard is clearly knowledgeable in trusts and estates law, as her professional recognition suggests. She capably handled the update of my mother's will and advance directives. However, the process felt somewhat impersonal. Responses to emails often took several business days, and explanations of certain probate nuances were occasionally rushed. For straightforward elder law matters, her expertise is solid, but you may need to be proactive in seeking updates. A competent attorney, though the client experience was merely adequate.
