Stand Out In A Crowd

Meet estate planner Lucy Cook.

She has practiced for over 10 years, focusing on estate planning in a major city in the Southeast. Along with her staff of three, she is a sole practitioner. Her main focus is preparing estate planning documents and probate estates. She is one of more than three dozen local attorneys who offer similar services. She reviewed what those other attorneys offer and none of them provide clients with an estate planning portal.

Lucy wants to take her practice to the next level. Her goal is to make her estate planning services unique, and in doing so, offer extraordinary client services. She recently read the book, The New Gold Standard: 5 Leadership Principles for Creating a Legendary Customer Experience Courtesy of the Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company by Joseph A. Michelli.
