Crystal Hess-Binnebose
@crystalhess-binnebos
I prepare trust, estate, governance, and pre-litigation legal documents.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I'm currently supporting Lavalle, Brown, Ronan and Schwencke, P.A. remotely on pre-litigation personal injury files, documentation, research, and e-discovery. I proactively advance case needs and received formal recognition for exceeding the firm's expectations.
Through Clara Bernard Consulting, I draft and manage trust indentures, powers of attorney, beneficiary designations, estate instruments, and organizational governance documents for clients across seven-plus states. I've also founded and structured a Wyoming private trust company and developed its governance and organizational framework.
My work is grounded in 30 years of combined business experience, confidentiality, and careful document control. I'm an active Wisconsin Notary Public, Notary Signing Agent, and Commissioned Process Server, and I'm pursuing a BS in Law and Policy with a 4.0 GPA.
