Very satisfied client

Ms. Sidorkina and the staff at Essential Legal Planning are some of the hardest-working I've seen in legal practice. Besides her remarkable work ethic and timely response to all of my questions, Ms. Sidorkina was empathic to my particular situation and crafted a comprehensive living will and medical ...directive. Such important documents to have and ofter overlooked. Thank you for your help and I will certainly return for additional services in the future.

Educated me on my will options

Olesya took me through all the options I had, including not doing anything. She gave great recommendations with pros, cons and how changes to my finances can be reflected in my will. I like that she didn't try to sell me an expensive option; she simply offered me the best path for my situation. W...ould highly recommend her even just to get educated or bounce ideas with.

All Planning Needs Met!

Ms. Sidorkina provided superb service in a timely fashion regarding my need to set up power of attorney. My case was a little complicated but that did not slow down her down. She was kind and compassionate through the whole process. I would highly recommend to to anyone in the DMV area who needs help... in estate planning. There is no reason to not talk bout this sort of thing with your loved ones! Losing someone is inevitable and always painful. But when your affairs are already in order the pressure is off a little bit.

Legal Advice on the fly

Essential Legal Planning was amazing and helpful during an emergency situation. I had real personal advising and was extremely helpful. I can't express how much I appreciate the assistance and personal care to my situation. I highly recommend this business

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Olesya is a great attorney who is very detailed oriented and cares about her clients. I have seen her work and she is very aggressive in court which you need as your attorney but she is empathic to her clients outside of court. Olesya is one of the hardest working attorneys I know who is very smart and dedicated to her cases. I 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.
