Our future is safe

My wife and I came to Susan (whom we met in our local chamber of commerce) to arrange our will. We were also advised to form a living trust that would protect our own interests. Her actions were very competent, quick and efficient. A fair amount of time was spend just to educate us about the pros and... cons of estate planning. In the end, we are very satisfied and would recommend Susan Friedland for probate or estate planning needs.

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.
