Drafted Will, Trust and Power of Attorney Docs Quick and Effectively

Sarah is a wonderful attorney as is her associate Margot Roberts. Sarah took the time to explain the function of wills, trusts, power of attorney and medical directive documents with us. Then Margot drafted the each of the documents in accordance with our wishes. As busy parents, my wife and I were n...ot always the most focused or responsive clients but the office met us with patience and understanding.

Sarah is the best!

I highly recommend Sarah Horowitz for probate/estate-planning legal help. She took the time necessary to explain the probate process to me and walk me through every step to draft and execute a trust and will, advance directive, and power of attorney. Sarah anticipated my every need and was prepared f...or every question regarding my unique situation: I have two teenage children, one of whom has special needs, and am divorced with shared custody. With her legal expertise and compassion for families bound to face very difficult decisions after the loss of a loved one, Sarah turned what could be a daunting and emotionally draining process into a manageable, positive experience. It's a relief to know that I no longer have to worry about what will happen to my children if something happens to me. Sarah is a great source of support for families of all shapes and sizes, including those who have children with special needs. Sarah's colleagues and referrals (including notary public Gina Milligan) were also incredibly supportive and knowledgeable. I strongly recommend that you contact Sarah for all your probate needs. You'll be glad you did!

Estate Planning attorney

I hired Sarah to draft my will, power of attorney, healthcare proxy, etc. and she was fantastic to work with - she is extremely knowledgeable of the law, and made it very easy to finalize. I highly recommend working with her.

Estate Attorney or Life Coach?

Sarah was our estate attorney. She wrote our wills and created a trust for our child. But more importantly she walked us through all of our estate options. Then, she crafted our wills alongside us, and explained our options and what the content meant at every step. That collaborative and guiding appr...oach was very important to us.

Great to work with

Sarah was exactly what we were looking for in a lawyer to put together wills for my husband and I. She met us at our house, walked us through all the details, answered our many questions and was fairly priced. She was great to work with and we highly recommend her.

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.
