Highly recommend Melissa at Legacy Wealth Counsel

"Melissa is fantastic! She helped my mother, who lives abroad, for a POA. She organized a zoom meeting with my mom, went through the engagement letter and POA in great detail with patience and clarity, and made the process easier. Thumbs up!"

POA

Melissa was fantastic! She is caring, competent, and professional. Melissa recently helped my family with Power of Attorney estate planning. We would highly recommend her and will use her services in the future without hesitation!

Trust

Melissa was amazing to work with! I needed a trust for my grandparents and she made the entire process so easy! She explained the different options thoroughly so that my family and I can make the best decision for our situation, she is extremely organized and super responsive. 5 stars in my book!... Thank you again Melissa for providing my family with peace of mind!

Would recommend to anyone in need of estate planning services

Melissa, was such a pleasure to work with! she made everything go so smoothy, and was so patient with me and my family. She answered all of my questions promptly, and our zoom meetings never felt rushed. I would highly recommend her for anyone in need of estate planning/wills.

I recommend Legacy Wealth for parents seeking estate planning!

Melissa explained the differences between wills and trusts and took extra care in providing guardianship documents for my child. Her workshops are very informative, too!

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.
