Willa Newton

Probate Client Specialist

I work directly with Andrea in all probate matters and I really enjoy meeting and establishing personal relationships with our clients. I began to clerk for a probate attorney in the early 2,000’s. Finding my niche and receiving excellent training, I became a legal assistant in just over a year and have worked in the field ever since. It is my goal to make the probate process as easy as possible. On a personal note, I absolutely love everything Disney, bake the most delicious muffins, and love dogs.

Shelby Pardais

Client Coordinator

As your Client Coordinator, I am committed to supporting clients through their personal journeys. I leverage my English degree from FIU and background in creative media to build and nurture client relationships. My previous experience in a small fashion house honed my skills in communication, which I now apply to help clients navigate complex legal matters with empathy and precision. Driven
by a desire to make a meaningful impact, I shifted my career focus to estate planning. When I'm in the office, you will find me using my experience as a fashion maven wearing a creatively knit item to work. Outside of the office, you’ll find me in comfortable cotton, at the yoga studio or at my writing desk, with aspirations to publish a poetry collection and earn my JD.
