Annabel Bazante

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.

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.

I and my son are very pleased with the documents she prepared and advice and explanations of the process that she has provided for us. I now have a living trust, Will, and Power of Attorney. In addition I know have an updated Living Will and Health Care Proxy. It is such a good feeling to have someon...e so knowledgeable guide us through document process.

I live in Manhattan, so I would have never thought to look for an attorney outside the city, but, Annabel came highly recommended. I needed to find an attorney to draw-up an Estate Plan for me. I was not disappointed. From the first contact I made with Annabel, then and thereafter, I always could cou...nt on both a quick and clear reply. Distance was not an issue in working with Annabel. She came to meet me in Manhattan for our initial conversation. During that meeting, I was impressed with her patience in listening to my concerns and thoroughness in collecting all the important facts. Unlike other attorneys that I have worked with, Annabel was not formulaic in her counsel. She carefully weighed all the pros and cons of what I was asking for; brainstormed various alternatives and arrived at solutions that included what I wanted and not a boiler plate plan that others are more quick to present. After numerous calls, exchanges of e-mails, reading and correcting draft documents, Annabel came back to Manhattan for the final signing of my documents. Throughout the whole process of setting-up my Estate Plan, Annabel was a professional who considered my wishes and needs and incorporated them into a first rate Plan. It’s without any hesitation that I recommend Annabel Bazante.

I was referred to Annabel from another respected lawyer, to help me with estate planning. Throughout the entire process Annabel was compassionate and caring, always making explanations easy to understand. Annabel is a dispassionate advocate who exemplifies knowledge, integrity,honesty, and sensitiv...ity. When I needed to speak to her after hours she never made me feel that I was imposing on her personal time. To the contrary, she was responsive, and respectful, helping me deal with the problem. I highly recommend Annabel!
