Highly recommend Beliveau Law Group

I worked primarily with Margaret and she did a great job helping me with a relatively complicated estate plan. Margaret is very knowledgeable about the legal matters and also sensitive to the personal side of my unique issues. The Beliveau's offered a competitive fixed rate for the estate plan (much ...appreciated) and they are very responsive to questions. Estate planning is never easy, but Margaret broke it down into doable steps and made it manageable. I'm grateful for her help.

Positive experience with Attorney Beliveau

I used David to help settle my dad's Florida estate. He was knowledgeable about the issues and gave me very specific instructions on the necessary steps to take. I found him to be patient, and professional but very approachable. I could send him questions anytime and know that I would hear back qu...ickly. My situation was resolved in a timely manner and it was a positive experience.

We had excellent meetings with Dave with regard to updating our Family Trust. Dave very patiently explained all the pros and cons on this matter and was very helpful in clarifying our doubts. He is highly professional, competent, knowledgeable and helpful.

Thanks to David Beliveau

My world changed dramatically on Labor Day, 2006, when my father passed away. He was the sole logical heir to any and all of my assets had I died before him. David Beliveau worked smoothly and patiently with me to draw up an estate plan for me. The firm also emphasized to me the importance of a ...durable power of attorney, designation of a health care surrogate, and a living will, none of which I had for myself prior to my father's death. By answering a few of the firm's carefully specified questions, I was able to give them the information that they needed to draft those documents. The firm was very good at identifying in early discussions those areas that required more detail than I had realized and in raising those issues so that I could quickly obtain more information about them. When in 2012 it came time for me to retire and change my residence from Massachusetts to Florida, I asked the firm to make necessary and appropriate revisions to all of those documents so that the revised versions would be legal in Florida. There were also a few substantive changes needed because circumstances had changed since 2006. And it took them only a couple of weeks to complete a set of revised documents for me to review. As before, the firm had understood my intentions very well and had created documents that clearly laid out the legal specification of those intentions.

Competent, professional, friendly

The Beliveau Law Group helped me and my husband with our estate planning. The attorneys were professional and friendly. They took time to understand our needs and wishes, and provided useful advice. The legal documents were all of excellent quality. We were very happy with the firm's work and would r...ecommend it to our friends.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
