Highly recommended

It was my good fortune to find Ms. Mizak. She helped me with the New York probate process and estate taxes for my mother, and my own estate planning. I found her to be very knowledgeable and capable, as well as a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend her services.

Best Elder Care & Estate Planning Attorney in the Tri-State Area

I hired Renata Mizak for multiple tasks: Estate Planning, My will for my husband and myself, POA's, Elder Law. She was excellent on all of the above. She took the time to explain things and gave recommendations in our best interest. She is a great listener. I would recommend her to all who need ...an attorney.

Helped with Dad's Estate

I hired Ms. Mizak to represent me in administering my dad's estate. She and her team helped me with everything from finding all the assets to filing the taxes. It was a complicated estate, but Ms. Mizak handled it utmost attention and guided me through every step of the way. I don't know how I wou...ld have done it otherwise.

Exceptional Attorney!

I retained Renata Pilny-Mizak to represent me as the Executrix of my parents Estates. The Estate was rather complicated in that although my Parents had self-proving Wills, they died unexpectedly within 4 weeks of each other. Ms. Mizak diligently provided legal guidance on disclaimers and other esta...te taxation strategies in order to effectively manage through an otherwise emotional and unexpected set of circumstances. Ms. Mizak and her legal team consistently provided clear explanations on all components of handling the Estates including probating the Wills, administering my fiduciary responsibilities as Executrix, managing Estate disclaimers, assets and accountings, and preparing and submitting Final Income Tax Reports as well as State and Federal Taxes. Her in-depth knowledge of the Estate and Medicare Laws coupled with her exceptional planning skills enabled me to execute my responsibilities in an organized and timely fashion during an extremely difficult time. I subsequently retained Ms. Mizak to assist me in preparing my personal Estate documents. As with the Estate, she provided me with clear and concise explanations on key Estate Planning aspects. Not only is Ms. Mizak committed to her clients, she is truly concerned for them as individuals. Ms. Mizak made herself readily available to answer my calls and questions at all times. I highly recommend Ms. Mizak as she clearly demonstrates a solid understanding of the complex Estate and Medicare Laws, and conducts her practice of Estate & Elder Law with the utmost demeanor of professionalism, compassion, trustworthiness and integrity.
