Great Work and Very Knowledgable

Back in 2013 my wife and I wanted to set-up trusts to protect our assets so that the most would be passed on to our children without a big tax hit. Robin took the time to explain the various options we had and based on our wishes made a great recommendation for us. She also at the same time set-up ne...w Wills and Power of Attorney's for us. I would highly recommend using Robin for any of these needs.

Good Job

Robin Gorenberg did our family trust, our wills, and our durable power of attorney in 2007 before we embarked on an adventure travel trip to Peru. Fortunately, we survived. She was easy to work with, quite knowledgeable, figured out what we needed. A few years later we needed an update, as condition...s had changed, and she was right there for us. I highly recommend her.

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!

"I wholeheartedly endorse Robin Gorenberg's work in the area of estate planning. I have practiced law in the Boston area for close to 20 years, and I have sent Robin a number of clients over that timespan. To a person, the clients have raved about Robin's expertise, manner, and efficiency. Her work is superb, and she has a knack for explaining complex concepts in a way that is readily understandable to the layperson. She is professional and personable, and I recommend her to anyone looking for estate planning advice and counsel."
