Estate lawyer

Lucy was the perfect person to serve as legal counsel as I served as the Executor of my parents' estate. She was caring, always timely with responding to my many questions and took the time to clearly explain all the legal things I needed to understand and know . She walked me through the probate pro...cess and helped me with complications that arose in the process of settling the estate. She was patient and offered valuable advice when asked.

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.
