Probate need

Annabel Bazante reviewed the probate actions needed, prepared materials I needed, and took all actions to complete a successful probate with a rural county court. She kept me informed and accomplished the mission.

Bazante for the Best in Law

I consulted with Ms. Bazante at the recommendation of a friend who had contact with her in a number of organizations. I was also happy to find an attorney who was local. My initial request was for an updated will and suggestions for estate planning. The final result was a comprehensive overhaul o...f many aspects of the task, which included six completed documents (including the will) and some ancillary services. She is also easily accessible and I was always able to get an immediate response or a clear indication of how and when she would be available.

Wills

Ms Bazante was very thorough in helping us finish our will. Her guidance and explanation of each step really made the process totally painless!! Highly recommend her!

The Best

As an attorney who has practiced in elder law in the past, it was extremely important to me who I would trust with my own Will and other end of life documents. Annabel came highly recommended and lived up to her reviews. She spent a lot of time carefully advising me and was patient and compassionat...e with me when I needed extra time to make important decisions. I never felt pushed, only supported. Would highly recommend this attorney for any elder law or estate planning needs.

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.
