Outstanding, personal service - flawless

Robin did an absolutely wonderful job with our estate planning. She was thoughtful, considerate, efficient, and very knowledgeable about her field. She walked us through it all, which is painstaking work. We were referred by good friends who are attorneys, and felt that she did an outstanding job. We... would gladly refer friends to her.

So helpful!

My wife and I used Robin for our estate planning and I highly recommend her! We had put it off for many years because we were intimidated by the whole process and were fearing some of the tough decisions that needed to be made. But Robin made the experience as painless as possible. She carefully g...uided us through the process and provided expert advice to help us through the tough decisions. And her follow-up was first rate. Even now, a couple of years later, she sent a note asking if we remembered to change the beneficiaries on our life insurance policies. For Robin, it's much more than a business transaction. She truly cares about her clients and that made all the difference for us!

Review of Robin Gorenberg

Did a great job on our wills and accompanying documents

Posted by Harriet | August 04, 2010 | Estate Planning

Excellent Attorney - Wills, Living Wills, Trusts, Estate Planning

I hired Ms. Gorenberg to help me write my original will, living will, and a trust, and then I recently updated my documents. Truth be told, the updates took me a few years to complete because I was having a difficult time making some critical decisions. Ms. Gorenberg provided excellent legal advice..., especially about the trust, power of attorney, and health care proxy, and she was EXTREMELY patient with me re: the time delay. I did not feel pressured. Ms. Gorenberg listened to my concerns and offered viable solutions from which I chose the best that suited both my current and anticipated future needs. I don't think that I would have successfully finished the update if I had been working with another attorney. I would highly recommend her!

Robin Gorenberg Evaluation - Top Notch Service

I would highly recommend Robin for any legal work needed. Robin has proven to be very knowledgable and provided outstanding legal advice. She prepared various legal documents (Wills, Durable POA, Health Care proxies) and helped establish Revocalbe Trusts for several family members. We challenged h...er with some unique provisions and she was able to provide clear and concise responses which helped make it easier for us to understand. I found her to be pleasant and cooperative. Robin consistently responded to inquiries in a timely and effective manner.
