Margaret was so helpful in planning our will and other documents. She is a true professional and great to work with. She explained very carefully the contents of each document to make sure we understood them. It is not often you feel this comfortable with an attorney. We would contact her again with ...out reservation.

Beliveau Law Group recently handled all of our estate planning documents. The work included; setting up a trust, last will and testaments, real estate transfers, living wills, powers of attorney, Hippa documents,and health care proxies, etc. All work was performed in an efficient and professional m...anner. I would certainly use them again and I highly recomjmend Beliveau Law Group to others. Margaret and the staff did an excellant job.

"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."

Relationship: Co-worker

"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."

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.

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.
