Guardianship Petition

Regina and her exceptional team have gone above and beyond to assist myself and my family with a Guardianship application that was a very complicated matter. Her paralegal, Amanda, maintained excellent communication and was very responsive to all questions I had. My conversations with Regina were ve...ry thorough. All my questions and concerns were addressed in a timely manner. When my application became more complicated, Regina added Wendy to the team to assist me and she has been an incredibly knowledgeable, compassionate, and proactive support throughout this proceeding. As additional legal matters arose, Regina and her staff provided the legal expertise and support I needed to navigate them. I highly recommend this office for anyone who needs to plan for their disabled loved ones and their future. You will sleep better knowing that they will be taken care of.

Best Lawyer in Stony Brook

I Highly recommend Regina Brandow... Ms Brandow was recommended to me by a very close friend. We had a difficult estate and guardianship issue. Her attention to detail, knowledge of the law, ability to "get things done", and personal attention to our needs was more than could be expected. The...re never was a time when I could not get in touch with her; my calls were always answered in a timely manner. We were always up-dated as to the progress of our case.

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.
