Both Skilled and Comforting in our Time of Need

Shana Siegel and her paralegal Maureen Roger assisted my family in estate planning for our parents and later settling the estate of my mother. They were very available, understanding and skilled in helping my family make these plans and then carry them through when my mother died. At such an emotiona...l time it was a great comfort to work with this highly skilled law firm who were able to make the entire process understandable to all of us.

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.
