Highly recommend

I contacted Robin Gorenberg in the midst of the pandemic to update my will, trust, healthcare proxy and power of attorney. She responded in a timely manner to all questions, and thoroughly researched prior documentation, discovering an important prior omission, (my real estate attorney had not filed ...the homestead exemption at closing). She provided detailed information on trust issues, and also provided helpful referrals for in-person signing.

Highly Recommend!

We have been avoiding our estate documents for years...an upcoming trip to Europe pushed me to finally act. We contacted Robin and explained the situation and she couldn't have been kinder or more efficient. What I had thought could take weeks took days. And even with some complications, nothing ...fazed her and she had detailed and complete documents finalized for us in a week! We would recommend Robin without hesitation...in fact we already have to other family members.

Highly Recommended

We highly recommend Robin Gorenberg for estate planning. After moving to Massachusetts from California, we were referred to her by friends who were very pleased with her services. There were some aspects of our estate that were complicated, and Robin provided very good guidance about how best to ...handle those challenges. She is highly knowledgeable about estate law, is attentive to details, responds in a timely manner to phone calls and emails, and is adept at explaining complicated legal jargon. In addition, Robin provided us with referrals to other legal and tax professionals when we were looking for assistance outside of estate law. Robin is not only skillful at her profession, but she has a warm disposition, making her enjoyable to work with. We would not hesitate to call upon Robin for any future estate planning needs.

Excellent Attorney

Robin worked with us on updating our Will and subsequently modifying them. She answered all our questions and would respond to our phone calls and emails promptly. We also contacted her for other issues and advice. Given the complexity of some of these issues, Robin handled all of them promptly an...d professionally. It has been a real pleasure working with Robin!

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.
