Best ever out of 3 attorneys we've used (and the other 2 were great)

Our third time making and updating our estate planning documents (Living Wills, Last Will & Testament, etc) was our best by far, thanks to David Slonim Law. Our situation was the same for all 3 attorneys (2 houses in 2 states etc), but only David comprehended how our MN house could avoid FL probate... with its title put into a Revocable Living Trust, which we learned has additional benefits. David has an exceptional ability to articulate complex concepts into clear English, ‘boiled-down’ into succinct comprehensible points. As a bonus when working with David, we received an invite for free use of his ‘Estate Pass’ service that covers digital accounts and assets, to facilitate transfer of financial management to our designated successors, plus our documents cover digital matters fully. We were also particularly happy with how thorough Slonim’s Durable Power of Attorney spells out every detail (including may added thanks to their lessons learned to clarify ‘grey areas’), with the only references to FL state statues (only as truly required) spelled out fully so that our documents are easily used in MN and valid as-is. Snowbirds with a home in FL and up north would be wise to use Slonim Law for their full package of Wills documents. Anybody wanting to understand what they are signing and how to use it will appreciate David’s additional help and ultra-clear explanations (both verbal, and on his handouts).

Widow

I hired this lawyer shortly after my husband died and I needed to revise my advance directives. Previously had an unsatisfactory lawyer and was skeptical when approaching this lawyer. He has been very patient in explaining in detail any concerns of mine. After several years had passed he helped me... to review my papers and revise where needed. I have recommended him to friends who have also been satisfied with his performance.

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.
