Trust and Estates attorney

I had a foreign family trust matter that I asked Vlad to assist with. He immediately understood all the issues with very little explanation from me, and resolved the matter swiftly and thoroughly. He was available by email and phone during this time for my questions. I thoroughly recommend him.

Highly recommended

I was looking for expert legal advice to open the trust for disabled person. I consulted with 3 other lawyers before I started working with Vlad. I chose Vlad because he saw the big picture, he recommended solution I even did not know exist. He is knowledgeable, know rules and stipulations about... any trust type. Vlad is flexible with appointments time and location. It was a pleasure working with him and it resulted to proper solution.

Vlad is the Best!

I had a fairly complicated estate case which Vlad handled. The death occured overseas, which meant no US death certificate, there was no original will to be found, etc. Through it all, Vlad was thorough,, patient, and he kept me informed every step of the way.

excellent attorney

Vlad Portnoy has set up trust for my family, and we all are very happy with his work. He is always available to answer any questions and is very helpful. I highly recommend him

Amazing lawyer

We hired Vlad to help with our closing. Since we didn't have a broker and seller had some major issues. It was a long and complicated process. However , from the first moment Vlad has been very easy to work with, professional,watched out for our interests. He has made what could've potentially be a n...ight mare into an efficient and a straight forward process. Was always available ether via phone or email. Highly recommended!
