The founder

Katie L. Clark

Attorney, mobile notary, and the person who will actually be sitting across from you.

Katie L. Clark, estate planning attorney and founder of Tree Ring Legal

Who she is

Comfort over formalism

Katie often says that lawyers have to be either super serious or fun and engaging, and that she is terrible at being super serious.

Whether she is making up silly songs about estate planning or meeting a client in their own living room, she tries to make the whole thing easier and a good deal less stiff than most people expect it to be.

She sees estate planning as both a necessity and a chance to teach people something about how the legal system actually works.

Unlike attorneys who come from a long line of attorneys, Katie comes from a family of entrepreneurs and self-starters who built their careers in the senior living industry. That background is why her practice puts your comfort ahead of formality.
