Review of Cori Ann Robinson Probate Lawyer

I recently worked with Cori Robinson PLLC on my will, living will, and health care proxy, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the experience. She was professional, knowledgeable, and extremely patient in explaining every step of the process. What stood out most was how she took the time to underst...and my personal situation and make sure everything was done exactly the way I wanted. She made what can be a complicated and emotional process simple and comfortable. I now have peace of mind knowing everything is in order, and I truly appreciate her care, clarity, and attention to detail. I would highly recommend Cori to anyone looking for an experienced and compassionate attorney for estate planning or related legal matters. Howard

Very hands on, personal attention, fights for you

I hired Cori for a complex estate issue after the passing of a parent. I am grateful for the amount of personal attention and accessibility that I could never of gotten at corporate firm. Most people never think of pre and post(my case) estate planning. I have already referred a half a dozen client...s to her so they can avoid anything close to what i was faced with; that Cori expertly guided me through.

Unbelievably kind and understanding of the situation

A week ago Friday I received a very difficult call from a cousin living in New York who informed me she had short time to live and had not had an opportunity to get her affairs in order. Her wish was to spend her remaining time in Korea and time was of the essence. The Friday before Thanksgiving we...ekend (the day after week connected) Cori went to her hospital bed and started the process of getting our POA and last will and testament in order. Less than a week later my cousin is boarding a plane accompanied by a doctor from travel doctors with her affairs in order for whatever may come. Cori represented a incredibly important piece of this formula and I couldn't be more grateful. Thank you so so much Cori for your compassionate and swift advocacy. Best regards, Tom Kang

Great estates attorney

I hired Cori to help my family and I with a complicated inheritance and trust issue and I couldn't have made a better choice. She dealt with the legal issues with a rare mix of professionalism and sensitivity. She answered all questions clearly, was honest about the challenges that might arise, layi...ng out possible scenarios but also creatively finding ways to deal with them. She also proactively moved the process forward several times when it all seemed stuck in place. But what really stood out about Cori was her ability to work with the complex personalities and relationships involved, relating to everyone with patience, understanding and respect. I'm very grateful she's my lawyer and I'd recommend to her anyone.

Wonderful attorney

Cori helped my family create our first will and legal documents. She was extremely professional, flexible, and helpful. Cori guided us through all the paperwork and was a real pleasure to work with. I really trusted her.
