Posted by Chuck | August 28, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Estate Planning

Much gratitude!

When my dad had to go into a nursing home last year, I tried to navigate the complicated process of handling his finances and getting his paperwork in order for the eventual Medicaid application. I finally decided to turn to a lawyer to guide me and I called the firm of Guston & Guston as I have had ...positive interactions with them in the past on other matters. Linda Peterson was their Eldercare/Estate planning lawyer and I immediately felt like I was in good hands when I met her. She told me exactly what I needed to do to make this process all run smoothly. She was kind, empathetic, knowledgeable, and professional. Any email or call I placed was swiftly answered, always making me feel like I was her only client! She relieved my anxieties and I was able to focus on my father's care knowing the legal matters we faced would be easily addressed. I highly recommend the firm and would confidently recommend Linda to my closest of friends. Thank you Linda.

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.
