Simply The Best

We hired Attorney Victor to handle estate planning for my parents. It was a complicated situation because we have an in-law house that was paid for by them when it was built. My parents wanted to make sure that I received the house at their death and that my husband doesn’t get kicked out if I am n...ot there. Attorney Victor explained all of the pros and cons of each situation and we were all very pleased and comfortable. She was able to explain things to us that we could understand. Also, we are very impressed with her work ethic. We later realized that at our first meeting with her she was struggling through her last chemo!

Very knowledgeable

We went to Melissa after our father passed away. His estate was a bit complicated and Melissa walked us through the process, filed for probate and prepared the estate tax return. She explained each step and no matter how many times I called her she always called back pretty quickly. I would recomm...end her.

Worth the Money

We went to see Attorney Victor several months ago when we had to put my dad in to a nursing home. My mother was afraid that she would lose all of her assets. Attorney Victor explained the process and helped save our house and our money. It was a long process but she and her associates helped us tr...emendously. I was impressed with how quickly she called us back each time.

Highly Recommend

I went to see Attorney Victor after we had to place my mother in a nursing home. I was told by my friends and the nursing home that I would not be able to save any of her mother. I went in to the meeting feeling hopeless. First and foremost, I was impressed with Attorney Victor's compassion. She ...treated me as if I was a person and did not speak down to me. She spent 45 minutes with me discussing how we could protect most of my mother's money. I then hired her to prepare the Masshealth application. I was impressed with how she handled the whole process from beginning to end. I was also grateful that she returned my calls and emails promptly.

Complicated estate

We went to see Attorney Victor about 9 months after my father died. His estate was very large and consisted of a lot of real estate. We knew there would be taxes due. It was very stressful for my wife and I. However, during the process Melissa explained each step in a way we could understand and ...she completed everything on time. We are more than pleased with her work and would most definitely recommend her.

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.
