This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Highly Recommended

My wife and I consulted with Ms. Terrana for help with Advance Care Directives, Powers of Attorney and Long Term Health Care Financial Planning. These are difficult, emotionally fraught discussions and Ms. Terrana guided us with empathy and a gentle guiding hand to help us make the right decisions. I... cannot recommend her highly enough and absolutely plan on using her for any future Elder Law needs we may have. If you are looking for a professional, truly human legal professional, you are in the right place.

Great Experience

Ms. Terrana is professional, knowedgeable, courteous and kind. She overcame two obstacles for me. One - my brother, the elder person I am caring for, and I live in two different states. Two - he was in need of a new living situation and was extemely difficult to work with. Initially, I spoke with Ms.... Terrana by phone about preparing a POA and will for him. Once all was ready for his signatures, I flew to Florida and she met us at the nursing home with the documents. My brother signed all the paperwork and was very happy with her too! I highly recommend Ms. Terrana.

VERY thorough and knowledgeable

I didn't realize how important it is to have an attorney who SPECIALIZES in elder care prepare all necessary documents, i.e., wills, power of attorney, living wills, etc. I would highly refer Jennifer to all my friends.

Will and Trust

Jennifer did the paperwork for my will, power of attorney and trust. She was very thorough and explained everything in great detail. I was very impressed with the service she provided. I would highly recommend her.

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Thorough and Professional

Jennifer worked with me to redo my will and create other estate and estate planning documents. She spent her time carefully going over matters I hadn't even considered or realized were of such consequence, but do. Everything was completed in a timely matter and at more than reasonable cost. Highest r...ecommendation.

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.
