Best Estate Planing Attorney I know

I hired attorney Aarons in 2015 to help me craft my Last Will and Testament, Living Trust and other related Estate Planning documents. Atty. Aarons is extremely knowledgeable, professional, and an expert in probate law. She clearly outlined the advantages (and disadvantages) of Living Trusts versus ...Testamentary Trusts, and helped me make a decision on what instrument would be the most appropriate for me. I truly feel Atty. Aarons made my Estate Planning documents ‘as bullet proof’ as they can be. Atty. Aarons is a very kind and caring individual. She really takes the time to understand what the client wants and puts that in legal terms: you will feel that the documents are “custom made for you”. At least that is what I feel. She is very good and fast at the same time. I decided to write this review since there is no easy way to verify ‘quality’ in attorneys. In Atty. Aarons you’ll find an expert, a dependable and responsive person, and a very nice individual to work with. After crafting these ones, my fifth Estate Planning documents, I can say that Beth Aarons is the best Estate Planing Attorney I know. Thanks a lot Beth!

Excellent experience with estate planning consultation and drafting

My partner and I hired Beth to draft wills, powers of attorney, and health care proxies for both of us. Our entire experience was extremely positive. Beth explained very clearly what our options were and what decisions we needed to make, and walked us through the implications of the various possibili...ties while always remaining respectful of our wishes and never pressuring us to do things a particular way. Beth was very prompt in responding to communications (we used email primarily) and she has a good system in place for sending drafts to clients for review and making changes based on our feedback. We now have our finished documents in hand and are very happy with our experience. We would recommend Beth to friends or family looking for help with estate planning. It may be relevant to note that we hired Beth using the ARAG legal benefit plan provided by my partner's employer, and it was very easy and seamless - she handled all the paperwork and interaction with ARAG, and billed them directly. We very much appreciated that, especially since it seems clear from the ARAG website that some attorneys make the clients do all that legwork.

I make referrals to Beth because I recognize how smart and attentive to details she is, and see in her a deep caring for her clients. I particularly appreciate the way she speaks--with brevity and depth. She is a very good listener, who listens before responding. Her legal knowledge is superb.
