Top notch estate attorney!

I highly recommend Pam’s services for estate planning. Pam dots every i and crosses every t while making sure you feel comfortable with your estate planning decisions. Pam knows the laws well and takes care to explain the ins and outs of of the estate planning process. Pam gets bonus points for being... a nice person to boot- it was great dealing with an attorney who offers a smile while doing business.

Expert Service & Peace of Mind

We chose Pamela Polani to set up a trust for us last year. Pam and her team were extremely thorough and efficient. She took the time to explain every detail ensuring our understanding. Recently I contacted her on an unrelated matter. She answered the phone and was very generous and helpful with her ...advice. Working with Pam has given us peace of mind. I highly recommend this firm.

Excellent Experience

At a very difficult time of losing my brother, Mrs. Polani was able to resolve a very difficult situation. She was always available, willing to listen, and prepared necessary paperwork promptly to resolve the issue. Highly recommend her as a great attorney.

Estate Planning Documents

After closing our business in Chicago, my husband and myself moved to Florida 3 years ago to retire and spend the rest of our lives in paradise. At the time, we had a living trust created in Illinois, so we needed to amend and restate it following Florida laws. We were lucky to be referred to Pamela ...Polani by a trusted friend and we didn't look further. She came to have the first consultation in the comfort of our home. Pamela quickly grasped all details about our family and our financial situation and explained in detail what we need to have in place to secure our assets in compliance with the FL laws and for the best interest of our heirs once we are gone. She generated twelve (12) estate documents, which reflected our wishes on all necessary topics. This was done professionally and with great attention to everybody, who would be potentially involved when those documents need to be used. Now we have piece of mind and enjoy the most of life at our age. And the last, but not the least, in addition to been trustworthy, Pamela has a charming personality, easygoing and a pleasure to work with. Thank you, Pamela!

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.
