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!

Trusted Professional

Melissa helped me with my first real estate trust. Not knowing anything about the process, she took the time to guide me every step of the way. She's very professional and responsive, she set proper expectations and as was so personable that it was almost like a close friend giving you their best adv...ice. Melissa even went as far as going line by line to make sure I understood my agreement inside and out. Couldn't recommend her more!

Excellent advice

Melissa patiently guided me in the preparation of my will. She explained how to protect my assets and my loved ones from any burden and court. Melissa answered every single question and gently eased me into thinking about healthcare directives and other proxies. I highly recommend her!

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.
