Posted by Steve | September 19, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Estate Planning

Outstanding advise and prompt service

When my mother passed away, I contacted the lawyer who did her estate planning, E. Steven Lauer, to handle the post death administration of her trust. Because my mother had a living trust, my family was not required to go through probate. The distribution of her property was promptly handled by Mr.... Lauer, who charged us a very reasonable fee. All of the work, including the tax returns, was handled "in house" by Mr. Lauer, who is board certified in Wills, Trusts, Estate and Tax and his accountant, Francine. We could not have been more please

Good Estate and Trust Attorney

Our family experienced a very emotionally draining divorce battle with our elderly father's ex-wife who attempted to rip off our father's estate for everything that she could once she discovered our father was suffering from severe Alzheimer's Disease. As our father became mentally incapacitated, his... wife attempted to cash in on virtually everything he had worked for his entire life by forging his signature on legal documents. Our Estate and Trust Attorney, Steve Lauer, did a commendable job protecting my father's financial interests as well as assisting with his Guardianship once he became legally incompetent to handle his own affairs. It pays to have a Board Certified Trust and Estate Attorney in the State of Florida when you care dealing with a complicated array of legalities involving marriage, grand theft, elder abuse, trusts, wills, and other legal documents and matters.

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.
