Estate Planning

Elizabeth is a very knowledgeable estate planner. She walked me through each step of the process and explained the expected results of each decision that I made. I was only in town for a short while as I presently live in Singapore so Elizabeth made phone contact with me before the signing day and sh...e and her staff were very friendly during my time at her office.

Review of the performance of Mrs. Bircher in preparing our wills.

My wife and I were very satisfied with the service and advice afforded us by Mrs. Bircher in the preparations of our wills. She was very knowledgeable and most helpful in guiding us through a number of items and considerations in the process of formulating the documents. She answered all of our que...stions in a clear manner and in words and language that we could understand and comprehend. She assisted us by her conscientiousness and professionalism throughout the entire process. If we have any future legal concerns or needs, we will seek assistance from her or other members of her firm.

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.
