He’s your guy!!!!

My husband and I wanted to be sure we chose the right attorney to do our last Will and testament as we are a blended family and had different objectives for our beneficiaries and weren’t sure how to put that all together. After meeting with Doug, we were 100% assured that he was our guy. He listen...ed to us, asked questions, made suggestions and answered all our questions. It was also an added benefit that he is a CPA as well. We are totally satisfied with what he put together for our family. Couldn’t be happier with our decision to use Doug and this firm.

Fantastic with a super staff

Doug Fendrick did our estate planning. First of all, he explained the purpose of each part and had plenty of time for questions. We were never rushed through. He drew up the paperwork in a timely fashion, sent us a copy to review and gave us time at the signing to again ask question. His explanations... were always clear. This is the second time we worked with Doug. About ten years ago he drew up my elderly sister and brother's wills and plans. Did an excellent job then. Never have to wait for an appointment. We appreciate his consideration of our time. At the signing, his staff was great. Obviously happy at their jobs and also very knowledgeable. All in all a great experience. Doug and staff deserve more than 5 stars. Well organized, helpful and caring.

We are confident in his r...ecommendations and in his understanding of federal and New Jersey laws related to estates and taxes. We highly recommend Douglas Fendrick.

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.
