Attorney Helps Terminally Ill Client
|
|
Ida Tyree-Hyche
(Tyree Hyche & Dixon) helped a client prepare his will as well as a deed for his property. The client is currently suffering from stage four liver cancer and wanted to make sure that his family is taken care of. The client is immobile and in excruciating pain due to the progression of the disease. “I had to visit him to take care of his legal needs. Helping him meant a lot to me” said Ida.
Thanks to Ida, the client is able to focus on his treatment plan knowing that he has his legal problems taken care of. The client said, “I wanted to get this done. Ms. Tyree-Hyche helped me do that. I told her to take my picture because I’m still good looking.”
