Posted by Jane | October 01, 2021 | Hired Attorney | Estate Planning

Highly recommend. Very pleased with how she and her staff handled my father's estate

Lisa Wnuck and her staff assisted me with settling my father‘s estate. When an unforeseen issue arose, she and her staff resolved it to our full satisfaction. We were impressed with the professionalism with which they handled the situation. My accountant was also impressed with the income tax pla...nning she provided when it came time at the end for his office to prepare the Estate’s income tax return. Because expenses were paid when they were and distributions made when they were, income taxes were minimized. I have no hesitation in recommending Lisa Wnuck and her very capable staff. They were pleasant to work with and replied promptly to my emails and phone calls. I could not have done it without their assistance.

Excellent probate attorney. She and her staff are a pleasure to work with.

When my mother died, I turned to Attorney Lisa Wnuck and staff to assist me with the probating of her estate. I can’t tell you how pleased I was with they way they handled the whole process. They were not only pleasant and kind, but also organized and efficient. The reasonable fee I was charged re...flected this. Attorney Wnuck handled this matter with professionalism and ease and I can highly recommend her.

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.
