Highly Recommended

I am so glad that I hired Attorney Gorenberg to do my Will. She made the entire process as fast and easy as possible. She explained everything in detail, answered all my questions and advised me so that I could make the right decisions. She is very competent, professional and personable. Her office ...is in a convenient location and her prices are well worth it. I highly recommend hiring her for your estate planning needs. You’ll be glad you did! Thanks for everything Attorney Gorenberg.

Excellent Estate Planning Attorney

We hired Robin Gorenberg to complete our estate planning work in early 2019. We had received the recommendation from my company’s General Counsel. While he had not used Robin personally, he did have a number of colleagues that provided very good reviews related to her work. We found the process to... be very easy with Robin as she guided us through all of the various options citing pro’s and con’s of taking certain steps along the way. She was very good at explaining technical concepts in layman’s terms and providing recommendations, but not coming across as overly pushy in terms of her recommendations. Her final work product was very timely and fully complete and her fees were fair for the high quality work. My wife and I would highly recommend her for Estate Planning counsel and will continue to utilize her services as the need arises in the future.

I first procured the legal services of Robin Gorenberg several years ago, when both my parents were still living. I don't know what we would have done without her expertise in Estate Planning. Her knowledge and compassion helped us through a very confusing time. I called upon Robin again when my m...other was being admitted into Nursing Home Care. Robin referred me to an Elder Law Attorney immediately. Thankfully, I did not need his formal services in the end, but he was just as kind and experienced as she is. And, by the way, he is a very well-known attorney in his field, so needless to say, Robin has a fantastic network of trusted colleagues in the top of their fields, as she is. I just worked with her a few months ago for Estate Planning for me and my husband. I was under a deadline, and despite how busy Robin is, she turned around the documents in record time, just because that is the kind of person she is. She does not hesitate to help people, and she is always accessible. Lastly, let me reassure anyone who is worried about breaking the bank to hire an attorney. Robin is very fair and honest. She will explain and itemize all fees and alert you of any changes. This is not do-it-yourself work - you need a legal professional, and I strongly recommend Robin Gorenberg for anyone needing Estate Planning Services. Thank you!!

She'll design a document you need and want.

Robin Gorenberg has been resourceful, flexible and intelligent, helping us create our respective Wills, Health Care Proxies and Powers of Attorney. Our requirements were not straightforward, having married late in life with different sets of children and grandchildren. She gave us advice remotely, wa...s patient with our questions, and emailed and mailed us the final documents that we needed, in good time and at reasonable cost. If you’re looking for a good lawyer, for wills or anything, we’d happily recommend Robin.

Robin Is A Pleasure To Work With

When my mother passed away suddenly in 2015, Robin helped me settle the estate. She was very professional and stayed right on top of everything, which gave me peace of mind because I no longer live in the local area. Her advice and referrals to other service providers was invaluable.
