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!

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.

Excellent Attorney

Attorney Victor created my parent's estate plan several years ago. Recently, both my parents died. Attorney Victor guided me through the process. Since my parent's had a trust, no probate was necessary and I was able to access my parents assets right away. I was amazed and how easy everything was....

Compassionate and Efficient

My husband and I went to see Attorney Victor last year to draft our estate plan. She explained our estate plan in terms that were easy to understand. This year we had some questions and called Attorney Victor's office. She responded to our phone call within an 1/2 hour. I asked her how much I owe...d her for the time she spent answering our questions and she said she doesn't charge for phone calls.

Protecting Assets

When my wife had to go into a nursing home, I was convinced that I would need to spend down all of my assets. I went to see Melissa Victor in S. Easton and she prepared an emergency plan that saved all of my assets. She walked my through the process, prepared the application and made sure that we r...ecevied an approval. I called to speak with her many times and was quite pleased that each of my telephone calls were returned promptly. I would certainly recommend her to anyone in this situation.

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.
