Estate Planning and Health Care Documents

I retained Linda Toga to prepare my Will, Power of Attorney and other health care documents. I was impressed by her expertise. She asked me all the right questions to make sure the documents reflected what I wanted.

Excellent estate planning

We recently engaged Linda to assist us with estate planning for my parents. My sister and I live out of state and had only 1 day available to meet with Linda. To our amazement, she was able to clear her schedule to asssit us with some items that were of an urgent nature. She has a great ability to ...communicate with our elderly parents and make them feel comfortable while planning for their estate. I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs assistance in this area.

Accessible and Knowledgeable

I asked Linda to help me with my Estate Planning two years ago. Recently I asked for help once again because I wanted to make some changes. She has always provided excellent service and is a very knowledgeable professional. Linda keeps you informed of her progress. I have recommended Linda to many... friends and family members. You can always reach her directly without giving your message to a third party.

Highly Recommend Services of the law office of Linda Toga

We had need of legal documents regarding permission for minors to travel with us to Florida for our daughter's Sweet 16 trip. Hardly a huge job for an attorney, but Ms. Toga provided the necessary papers as well as the services of her office for the signing and notarizing of documents. She was ...in constant communication via email until all was in order for our trip. We highly recommend Linda Toga to anyone searching for a professional, courteous attorney who provides top notch legal services.

She is a "10"!

Linda Toga gets my top-rating for excellence! I hired her on high referral 10 years ago ad haven't been disappointed for a second. I enjoy the professional, personalized and "friendly" service. I have a general suspicion about lawyers as I work in the criminal justice system, but her I trust, as o...ver the years she has consistently provided outstanding service. My elderly father needed all that paperwork, as well as estate paperwork, including sale/closing of his home as he entered assisted living.; she even sensitively handled a family dispute. Every detail was attended to and all the while she updated me in language I understood. Linda's knowledge and resources seem vast. I had previously used another firm, and although the lawyer was nice, his firm was large and I felt lost as another cog in the machinery. She is a "10"!

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.
