About Robin
Biography
Practicing estate planning and probate really suits my personality style - I love to help people "figure things out" and balance the pros and cons of a particular situation to make the best decision possible.
I also strive to be a source of comfort to friends and family, and am greatly satisfied to be able to do that in my professional life as well, helping people get estate planning off their "mental list" and giving them the peace of mind that comes from having the proper estate planning documents in place; and helping families deal with the loss of a loved one by assisting them in navigating the technical and legal details that come up at that time.
When I'm not working, I enjoy music - listening, playing and writing. I am a singer/songwriter/pianist and love sharing songs with friends and family.
I live in Brookline and love the Boston area.

Outstanding
When my adult daughter died unexpectedly, Robin led me through the morass of paperwork and probate with kindness, patience and expertise. My total confidence in her was well placed. I recommend her highly.

A Robin is my Legal Eagle
Robin Gorenberg has easily led me down the path to trusts. She has also helped me with the death of 2 family members' probates. I have already passed her name onto first cousins whose elderly parents still live in the area.
