Excellent Attorney

It is with excitement I write this review. As a physician, in a field where litigation is a common risk, protection of personal assets is vital to all our planning needs. Our family turned to Henna for our large estate planning needs. We've had multiple complex trusts with a score of insurance pol...icies - many dating back into the 1970's. As a result, this was a huge, very challenging undertaking for any attorney. After months of hard work and combing through piles of documents, Henna not only handled the years of insurance and trust specifics, organized the best possible solutions and created new multiple, highly effective trusts, she did all this warmth and grace. Very professional and trustworthy. Highly intelligent in her field, I would recommend her without hesitation and have already done so with several physician colleagues. I wish her the best.

Outstanding attorney. Trustworthy and competent.

We chose Mrs. Henna Shah for all of our estate planning needs after having interviewed a number of potential candidates. Mrs. Shah was extremely competent and thorough in her overall approach and individualized attention making absolutely certain that every step along the way was clear, understandab...le and necessary. Mrs. Shah was well organized at all appointments and followed up on every matter expeditiously. She also takes a proactive approach to her clients, regularly keeping in touch to make any changes as might be necessary. Without reservation we would hire her again and recommend her most enthusiastically for any estate planning matters.

  • 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.
