Kristen Spees Marchello, Attorney at Law

Estate Planning

Make it easy for your family by getting your estate planning documents.  Kristen Spees Marchello is a licensed attorney in Hawaii, Nevada and California and a Real Estate Broker in California and Hawaii.  She has been practicing estate planning for over a decade and has previously worked with her parents who are both estate planning attorneys, licensed in HI, CA, NV and FL, and have over 65 years of combined experience.  What makes her different from other law firms is that her documents are written in plain English and she typically charges flat fees instead of by the hour for her documents.
