Posted by Ellen | March 18, 2024 | Hired Attorney | Estate Planning

You won't be disappointed!

Jordana was referred to me by a realtor friend. I went into our first meeting “kicking and screaming” as I did not want to establish a Revocable Trust. But, because my daughter wanted me to, and the fact that Jordana explained all the pros and cons, I decided to move forward. She proved to be very k...nowledgeable not only with Trusts but also Medical Directives, Wills, POA’s and finances. She was extremely patient throughout the process, explaining things clearly (and sometimes repeatedly). While being very professional, she made me feel comfortable and at ease. She not only established the Revocable Trust but updated my Will, POA, Advanced Medical Directive and also went to the county to research property plats to correctly re-deed my house and 4 lots into the Trust. Not only was I impressed with how much she knew but with how much she listened and remembered details I shared with her. I truly felt she cared about my making the right decisions for myself and my daughters. The adjectives I’d use for Jordana are intelligent, easy-going, efficient, patient, and (good) listener! Without hesitation, I would highly recommend her and The Penater Law Firm, LLC. I’m so happy I found her, and I think you will be as well.

Relationship: Co-worker

"Between her "bedside manner" and her comprehension of complex topics impacting inheritance and succession of assets, Jordana is truly a top-notch attorney. The manner in which she is able to explain difficult subjects in an easy to digest manner is nothing short of impressive."

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.
