Attorney Earns Prestigious Designation

June 24th, 2009 by Tracey Ingle

Southborough based attorney, Tracey Ingle, a Stow resident, was honored with the coveted “Personal Family Laywer” (PFL) designation in a ceremony held last week in Atlanta, Georgia.  The PFL designation is awarded to estate planning lawyers who have demonstrated an unwavering commitment to their communities by providing sound legal advice that helps individuals and families make the best decisions in their personal, business, legal and financial affairs throughout their lifetimes.

Members of the PFL network focus on the needs of growing families to ensure life-long enjoyment of prosperity and financial security, without the traditional hourly billing associated with working with an attorney.  They provide their clients with the guidance of a trusted advisor throughout, and at the end of life to guarantee all assets are secured for the future of their clients’ families.

Currently, less than 100 other lawyers in the country have received this designation.

“I’m thrilled to be included in this elite group of lawyers.  I love helping people, being their trusted advisor, and helping them make the best financial decisions for their family for a lifetime.  It has been my life’s ambition to be this type of lawyer and not just prepare form documents, but develop a real personal relationship with my clients.  I’m very fortunate and honored,” said Ingle.
