Esther Schwartz Zelmanovitz

Esther and Esty are experts in Elder Law. They were very helpful in guiding me through the twists and turns to be navigated for estate planning, wills, setting up trusts, and the necessary follow-up during and after the deaths of my parents. The disposition and transferring of inheritance went seamlessly without any probate issues or any other complications because of all the planning that had been done in advance. They were always responsive, accessible, and answered all questions thoroughly and concisely.

Provided exactly the info I needed (and lots of useful info I didn't know I needed but am glad to now know.) Gave me time to ask questions and took the time to explain thoroughly when answering. Was extremely pleasant with a manner which clearly conveys her care and dedication to what she does for her client. Overall, it was just an initial consultation but I walked away feeling better, which given the situation goes a long way...

Great experience. willing to help and answer all questions. Very informative.

Esther Schwartz Zelmanovitz was a pleasure to work with. She is extremely knowledgable in the area of estate planning and wills. She listened to our needs and concerns and advised us on the best plan for our situation. She was patient and made sure that we completely understood all our options and the plan that we ultimately selected. She and her entire office staff are compassionate and professional. We would highly recommend her firm.

We first consulted Esther to assist us with several legal documents regarding my mom. We were so impressed with her, my husband and I hired her to re-draft our wills and a variety of other papers.

Ms. Zelmanovitz is very informative & excellent consultant. She explained all our concerns & questions very well. I recommend everyone who needs estate planning.

My mother, sister and I had a consult with Mrs. Zelmanovitz. She made us feel welcomed, used everyday language and even reviewed my current lawyer’s agreement with me. We had an issue that involved my mothers social benefits and inheritance from her exhusband. If we do, in fact need a lawyer for this issue we will definitely contact Mrs. Zelmanovitz.

Esther listened carefully to my questions and concerns relating to my role as estate administrator. She was very candid in her comments, impressed me with her estate law knowledge, and made me aware of various factors to consider as I continue moving forward in my administrator activities.

I just completed my estate planning with Esther Schwartz Zelmanovitz and Esther P. Levinson and the experience working with them was extremely pleasant. My will and estate planning was somewhat complex due to family relationships, children’s needs, financial issues, etc.…. The professionalism and courtesy they showed me along with their genuine concern for doing the right thing was apparent immediately and continued throughout the whole process. What was also abundantly clear was their patience for my questions and their ability to answer all of them in a timely manner in a way that I would be able to understand. I was never made to feel like I was bothering them with my questions. They started the process by asking about me, my wants, my concerns and what I was trying to accomplish. During this discussion they asked additional questions to address or clarify things that I had not addressed or even considered. Everything said during that initial conversation was their guiding star throughout the whole process and the final documents reflect all of this. After delivering to me my documents Esther and Esty took the time to walk me through the documents, page by page, explaining to me what everything meant. They also took the time to point out where my specific concerns and wishes were addressed. If, at any point during the process, there were options to be considered, both Esther and Esty took the time to explain the options and ramifications of each and advised on how each option corresponded back to my overall goals for my estate planning. I am confident in saying that, should anything happen to me, my estate is in order and my children will be cared for. Prior to going to Esther and Esty, I had gone to two other law firms who used boilerplate forms that they plugged my information into it and presented that to me as my estate planning. They never took the time to fully understand my situation and advise me on how to proceed. The worst part was when I started to ask questions about how things were being addressed or the meaning of things in the will, if I received a reply, I was made to seem like I was annoying them with my questions and concerns. The experience here was the opposite. I would unequivocally recommend Esther and Esty to anyone asking for a reference for an estate attorney.

I recently worked with Esty Levinson as she helped my 95 year old aunt revise and update her will. I live in Los Angeles and my aunt lives in Queens, so finding someone we could trust from afar was paramount. And Esty was wonderful! She was so incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, and efficient on every level, but most of all kind, understanding, patient, and compassionate. Any time we had questions, she responded immediately and made the whole process for me and my aunt seamless, and surprisingly quick! I feel so lucky to have found her (thanks to a referral from my cousin) and I would highly recommend calling her for any of your estate planning/elder care legal needs. She was such a pleasure to work with! Thank you Esty!
