Matthew Reed
When our family needed to navigate the complexities of my late father's estate and a somewhat outdated trust, we turned to Heidi Ottsen at Blitz, Bardgett & Deutsch. From our initial consultation in their San Francisco, MO office, Heidi demonstrated a profound understanding of trusts and estates law that immediately put us at ease. Her recognition by Best Lawyers was evident in her meticulous approach; she carefully explained every option and potential outcome related to the trust administration and necessary updates. Heidi handled sensitive family dynamics with remarkable professionalism and empathy, ensuring the process remained respectful and focused. She anticipated issues we hadn't considered and crafted solutions that honored my father's intentions while providing clarity and security for the future. The entire experience was seamless, and the final resolution brought our family peace of mind. For anyone in the St. Louis region facing estate planning or trust matters, I cannot recommend Heidi Ottsen more highly. Her expertise is genuine, and her commitment to her clients is exceptional.
