Great Experience updating Estate plans

We had a wonderful experience updating our estate plans, working with Michael Shilinski. He helped us complete this process in a timely manner, with professionalism and warmth. We made some changes and he provided the perfect balance of "big picture thinking" and being detail oriented. Always, the f...ocus was on serving our needs and providing us the peace of mind that these important documents would cover what we needed to cover. He goes the extra mile, asked us to consider things that we wouldn't have thought of without his expertise, and was a pleasure to work with. Highest recommendation!

Intricate Real Estate Deal

We hired Michael to represent us in the purchase of a new home in Briarcliff Manor NY. As we were moving from California, it was important that we had somebody on our side who had a lot of New York Real Estate experience. There were several intricacies to the deal and at every turn Michael was an exe...mplary advisor and advocate for us. He thought of all the potential issues we might come across and prepared us so well for all eventualities. Also Michael is just a great guy to deal with, nothing is ever too much trouble, we will always use Michael for all our future legal needs, one of the best legal people we have ever worked with. Jon and Marci , November 2019.

Taking Care of My Parents

Mr. Shilinski was very knowledgeable and patient while helping me organize my parent's affairs. I feel much more prepared now moving forward with my family's estate planning. Should have done this years ago.

A Very Good Estate Planning Attorney

I hired Michael for working out my estate plan: Will, Health Care Proxy, Living Will, and Power of Attorney for finances. I am very pleased with the job he did, both with advising me and preparing the documents. This included giving my executor and Power of Attorney agent proper legal access to my di...gital assets, which is apparently still considered to be a new thing in the legal world. He charged a reasonable flat fee for his service. I would expect to hire him again for revisions to my estate plan in the future.

Excellent Lawyer

Michael made our property deed transfer as effortless for us as possible. He communicated clearly with all involved parties, allayed every concern, and expertly completed the process. Thank you so much, Michael.

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.
