I recently had the pleasure of meeting with Mr. Andy Kottkamp regarding the creation of my will and other documents necessary for the end of life. Mr. Kottkamp and the entire staff was so helpful to me and so very prompt in getting me through this process. One of the bonuses was being in their office space which is a lovely "re-do" of one of Wenatchee's older historical homes located on Orondo Street. I was very impressed with my entire experience.
