terrible over priced service

We paid over $11,500 for a trust and were told to go to real estate agent to transfer our house into a trust!

5 star service

We went to several attorneys prior to coming to Melnik Law Group and afterwards we knew we came to the only lawyer we would need. From the moment we arrived we had an amazing experience. All of our questions were answered before we even had a chance to ask and most importantly we were provided with o...ptions that no one else ever discussed with us. We were told the pros and cons of all the choices we had and it made it a breeze to choose the route that would serve our family best. The trust and medicaid planning work was completed as promised and we were helped along the way by the amazing staff of Mr. David and Gayana are superstars!!! Thank you so much and I have already sent 2 more people to attend their free consultation.

Knowledgeable and efficient

Steven Melnik and his team helped us create a trust. Steven guided us all the way through the process, answered all of our questions and dedicated his time and effort to make sure we understood all the details. He followed up with us to assist with additional documentation necessary to complete the p...rocess. My wife and I highly recommend him to anyone who needs estate planning.

Best attorney

A couple of years ago I hired the Melnik Law Group to create a Trust. My initial consultation was with Steven Melnik. He was very attentive, listened to my situation, and then - made some specific recommendations and transferred me to the trusted hands of his assistants. They, in turn, told me in de...tail how the trust creation process proceeds and in what time frame I could expect it to be completed. The face-to-face and phone conversations with the office staff were professional and pleasant. They answered my many questions clearly, in great detail and made necessary adjustments to future steps. I would like to say a special thank you to Gayane Galstyan who worked on my case extensively. She is exceptionally professional! I always found her to be incredibly attentive, tactful, polite and patient. If she wasn't able to answer my call and I left a message, she gave me a call back almost immediately. Any time that I would call her or stop by the office, she knew exactly what was going on with my case. As a result, all the documents were collected and signed on time. After the creation of my Trust I never encountered any issues with it. I look back on my experience with the Melnik Law Group with gratitude.
