Patricia Stewart
Sandra Viana at Withers assisted my husband and me with updating our wills and establishing a trust. Her expertise in trusts and estates is evident, and her recognition by Best Lawyers in that field is well-deserved. She was thorough in explaining the technical aspects of the documents and ensuring our assets in New York were properly addressed. However, the process felt somewhat impersonal at times. Responses to emails often took several business days, and we occasionally had to follow up for updates. While the final legal work was solid and we feel our affairs are in order, the client experience was more transactional than we had hoped. For straightforward estate planning, she is certainly capable, but be prepared to manage your expectations regarding responsiveness.
