This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Highly Recommend for Elder Care Consultation

Genny was recommended by another attorney to help our family with planning for our father-in-law. After our consultation, she was honest and told us we did not need her service for what she said we needed to do. Genny is extremely bright, personable, communicates in a timely manner and overall an A+ ...attorney. I would highly recommend you invest in an hour long consultation with her if you need to plan for Elder Care in Florida.

Consultation with Genny Bernstein

We met with Genny to update our wills. She explained exactly what needed to be done and why. She was professional, practical and answered all our questions. We left the firm feeling secure in signing all the papers to make life easier for us and our family.

Best Elder Law Attorney on Treasure Coast Florida

I needed to review my planning for my estate and make sure that in the event of either my wife or my illness and demise that there is as much planning as possible to extend our finances. We want to take advantage of any and every possible legal plan to take care of each other and conserve finances fo...r the surviving spouse. Genny Bernstein is knowledgeable, engaging, current, and personable. She is also intelligent and quick. I found her style maximizes productivity and emphasizes goals. She is straightforward and an advanced, disciplined thinker.

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.
