Very knowledgeable and friendly

Beliveau Law Group came highly recommended and did not disappoint. Margaret worked very patiently with us to set up a will and trust. She was able to answer our many questions and we were impressed with her depth of knowledge in law, taxation, and estate planning. David’s advice was also helpful as w...e are residents of 2 different states. Margaret and David are an excellent team and we’re grateful to have them as a resource for such important decisions.

Estate Planning

My wife and I worked with Margaret on estate planning. She was excellent to work with, making the complex issues easier to understand and tackle. We were very happy with the process and end result. We will use her again when needed. Professional, trustworthy and dependable!

Trust & estate planning services

Margaret was recommended to us. She did a wonderful job helping us understand all the aspects of estate planning. She facilitated setting up a family trust and all the required legal documents in a very thorough manner.

"I worked closely with Attorney Margaret Cross for almost four years and found her to be highly experienced, intelligent, hard-working, helpful and compassionate. She is extremely knowledgeable in the area of trusts and estates and strives to keep herself educated on new developments in the law. While working together, she was the "expert" everyone turned to with questions and/or concerns, including myself, and regardless of how busy she was, she always made time to help. She is one of the most creative attorneys I know in analyzing legal issues and applying her vast technical knowledge. Clients find her to be trust-worthy, compassionate, caring and straight-forward. I personally give Attorney Cross my highest endorsement."

"I have had the privilege of working with Attorney Cross since approximately April of 2010. Even before she joined our firm, I consulted with her on legal matters. She has always struck me as knowledgeable and to the point. She has a gift for making complex legal matters simple. She doesn't say what she doesn't know. I trust her knowledge of the law and her motiviations on behalf of her clients. She is personable, knowledgeable, and dedicated. In short, she is everything I would want in a lawyer. I wholeheartedly endorse her."

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.
