My husband and I were referred to Ms. Yadgarova by family friends who were delighted to have worked with her. My personal experience was exceptional. She is knowledgeable and an experienced attorney who explained and guided us through estate planning. She took her time explaining the whole process and was very patient with us. We would definitely work with her again.

Smart, knowledgeable, and compassionate

I would recommend Ms. Yadgarova to anyone looking for help with estate planning. She helped me in planning my mother's estate and her advice was a godsend. Not only does she know her stuff, but she was able to explain the most complicated parts to me in layman's terms. She accommodated the needs of me and my family and was always available, accessible, and responsive, during one of the most trying times of my life. You're in such great hands with this attorney! I trust her with my life!
