When Angela and Lyndon walked through our doors, they were seeking more than legal documents: they were seeking peace. For Anglea, that need surfaced during an emotional and uncertain time. Facing a high-risk spinal surgery after losing two siblings, she felt a sharp awareness of how quickly life can change. "I had five kids and six grandkids," she shared. "I wasn't going into that surgery without knowing everything was in place. That is a gift you give your family."

Their decision to work with our firm came from a source close to home. Throughout Angela's childhood, her father would point to our Seminole office and tell her, "If anything happens to me, that's the law firm you go to." A respected educator and thoughtful planner, he entrusted attorney Rep DeLoach with his own estate decades ago. His confidence—and his legacy—guided his daughter when she needed it most.

When Angela called, Attorney Michelle Lianzo immediately understood the urgency. Without being asked, Michelle expedited every detail so the family's trust and related documents were completed before Angela's surgery. "It brought me to tears," Angela said. "She knew it was on my heart. I didn't have to worry."

Just as meaningful was the relationship that formed throughout the process. Angela and Lyndon describe their connection with Michelle (and with Paralegal April Ellison) as warm, natural, and deeply personal. April has once been a student of Angela's father at Seminole Middle School, a tie that carried forward into the next generation. "I never felt like a client," Angela said. "It felt like coming home. Michelle explained everything so clearly. She was in our corner."

Lyndon, a retired military veteran accustomed to the importance of readiness, added, "This is better than a will. It spells out your wishes and gives everyone peace of mind."

Their planning extended beyond their children and grandchildren to their beloved pets, ensuring care and clarity for every member of the family. With their trust complete, Angela and Lyndon now feel grounded, organized, and united. Their children feel it too.

Angela shares this experience openly with friends who hesitate to begin the estate planning process. Her message is simple: "You may feel nervous at first, but the peace afterward is indescribable."

This season, their story reminds us that preparedness is more than paperwork. It's a gift: one of clarity, security, and love.
