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.

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.

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"!

Terrifically Diligent

Linda Toga impressed me when she gave an informative talk at Stony Brook University; based on her gentle and professional demeanor, data disseminated, Q&A session and handouts, I knew she could fulfill my "elder care" needs. In the privacy her office, she patiently listened to me, made valuable su...ggestions, and devised a plan of action that ultimately resulted in my having documents for an updated Will, a Health Care Proxy and Power of Attorney. I am confident and delighted to have LindaTonga as my lawyer. I have recommended her to others and they are very satisfied as well.

Top notch attorney without all the overhead of a big office!

Linda is fantastic! I was first attracted to her because she offered information on her web site. After speaking with her I discovered she was very knowledgeable, accommodating, flexible and efficient. We had her do some legal work for my elderly mother and our house title and it was executed flaw...lessly. Everything took place just as she said it would and she was very warm and supportive during the entire process. We are planning on using her again for our own estate planning just as soon as we can figure out our best strategy - I know she will provide excellent service at a fair price - and I won't be subsidizing someone's high-end Garden City office rent and support staff. Too bad she can't clone herself!
