  For most of us, there are only a handful of major inflection points in our lives. Momentous occasions that mark time  a death, a birth. Major stops and major beginnings.  Today is one of those days for me.  Today marks the end of my law firm Galloway and Collens, PLLC and the beginning of Collens Estate Law.   For me, it is a time of great optimism for what the future holds. We have gotten to where we are because of the work we have done and the trust we have gained. Going forward, you can expect the same exceptional legal service focusing on contested and uncontested probate and trust administration, guardianships and conservatorships, estate planning, and elder law.   You can learn more about us at CollensEstateLaw.com. Please like and follow us on our various social media sites.   I thank you for the trust that you have put in me and our firm for all of these years and look forward to building from here.    With gratitude, Howard H.
