Heather Sunderman provided our family with exceptional counsel as we navigated creating our first comprehensive estate plan. Her 22 years of experience in Potomac were evident; she patiently explained complex concepts like trusts and guardianship, ensuring our children's future is secure. Her recognition in family law is well-deserved. The process was thorough, and we felt genuinely cared for. The only minor note is that during a particularly busy period, there was a slight delay in email responses, but follow-up calls were always prompt. We highly recommend her at McMillan Metro Faerber for anyone seeking thoughtful, long-term planning.
