"Making sure you are understood and treated with respect."

 

Dedicated to making life easier for others, Barbara Butler is often described as,“the eye of the storm.” Her calm demeanor makes you feel at ease, and her confidence earns your respect.  
 
As a partner with Dufford Waldeck, Barbara spends most of her time with estate planning and probate matters. Her number one goal is to make sure the client’s wishes become reality.
