Highly recommended.

Our 4 children were beneficiaries of a by-pass trust opened in Boston by their aunt in 1973. We live in California and needed help with Massachusetts trust laws. A family friend in Boston highly recommended Robin Gorenberg. Robin researched the changes made in 2012 in the Massachusetts Uniform Trust ...Code. She wrote letters, then contacted the bank holding the trust. She guided us through the somewhat complicated procedure. Through her persistence, diligence, and attention to detail our children received their inheritance. We are happy to give Robin the highest recommendation. It was a completely positive experience.

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 estate planning and legal advice

My husband and I first consulted with attorney Robin Gorenberg over 20 years ago to prepare wills and trusts, and we continue to work with Robin for all legal advise pertaining to our estate planning. We are consistently impressed with her expertise and knowledge of the law, and her insight into our... family's particular concerns and preferences. Over the years, we have recommended Robin to a number of young families who are embarking upon estate planning, and all have been entirely satisfied with her work. In addition, we recommended her to a close friend seeking end-of-life estate planning, and Robin was perfectly compassionate and professional throughout what would otherwise have been a stressful process. Robin is always communicative and responsive. Her fees are completely reasonable and her billing transparent. I recommend her unreservedly.

Excellent service

Robin was very knowledgeable and helped me set up a rather complicated trust in a timely manner. She was affordable and very easy to work with.
