I am confident with my estate planner

Hugh and Carrie are one of a kind! I met Hugh when I was getting my masters at Northeastern. Back then he was Professor Crossland. When my wife and I were married, had children and knew it was time to form an estate plan that made sure our concerns were addressed and issues were remedied we called th...e Crosslands. Hugh and Carrie addressed our issues and made sure our estate plan was properly executed. We live near the Crosslands in Westwood. I think there is something to be said for professionals who are part of your community. I know our estate plan will do exactly what we wanted. I would highly recommend them.‎

"I've been following in my father's large footsteps since I could walk and have always dreamt of the day I would practice beside him. That dream came true on Dec. 13, 2002 and everyday in our office I am amazed to learn something new from him. I am blessed to call myself Hugh Crossland's daughter and his law partner."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
