How Lenora works
No lectures, no legalese, no surprise bills
Estate planning has a reputation for being slow, stiff and a little gloomy. It does not have to be any of those.
Lenora works alone, so the lawyer you meet is the lawyer who drafts your documents, signs with you and takes the call when your mother's care home needs an answer. There is no associate hand-off and no junior learning on your file.
You get a flat fee in writing before you decide anything. You get documents in words you could read aloud at the kitchen table. And you get a plain answer to the question you came in too embarrassed to ask: who gets the house, who signs for me, what happens to the dog.
A plan you understand is a plan your family can follow.
The office
Meet the people who keep the office moving
Lenora is the lawyer. Dessa and Orville handle everything around her: scheduling, paperwork, rides to the notary and the calls that start with "I do not know who else to ask."
Orville Ledbetter
Client coordinator
Orville books the consults, arranges Saturday and home visits, and is usually the first voice you hear when you call.
