Top Notch

Annabelle Bazante is very intelligent. She does her due diligence and explains things very well. She really does care.

Peace

My husband and I, both in our 70's had nervously put off making our wills until now. Annabel Bazante guided us through the whole process with great wisdom and clarity and now we feel much more secure about the future.

Excellent Elder law assistance

I consulted with Annabel regarding legal advice for my father. Annabel returned my email and was extremely generous with her time during our consultation. Annabel assessed the situation and was able to refer me to her assoicate specializing in international divorce law. I highly recommend Annabel and... will not hesistate to reach out to her for future legal concerns.

Couldn't be happier

Annabel was a tremendous help through the entire process with my mom. She helped setup the Power of Attorney, coming to my mother's house with witness because she was unable to travel. She also processed the Will, went to Probate Court, got the Letters of Testamentary and on very short notice was ab...le to get me refreshed letters that were needed for the House Closing a day later. She was great at explaining the entire process to me, and giving me all the options in a way that a layman can understand. All costs and timeframes were exactly what she had said. Very happy I chose to go with her, and would highly recommend.

Efficient and Professional

When my sister suddenly passed away I needed someone to help me close out her estate and help me conclude over two years of estate issues that I was saddled with. I was put in touch with Annabel who was professional and efficient. She preformed per my direction and never looked to run up hours of wo...rk. Her advise on the matters at hand was spot on. I am only sorry that I did not engage her sooner to help me close out this estate for my family. I would not hesitate to recommend her services or use her in the future.
