VERY PLEASANT EXPERIENCE

Bryan came highly recommended by a family friend. He prepared a will and trust for both my husband and myself. We found Bryan friendly, sincere, very knowledgeable, professional, and affordable. He didn't hesitate to go the extra mile. Our experience in conducting business with Bryan {and his staff}... was very pleasant, and we were more than satisfied with his services. We would be more than happy to recommend Bryan.

Unknown lawyer | Jul 30

Relationship: Friend

"I have the pleasure of knowing Mr. Kessler both personally and professionally. During our time in law school, we were in several of the advanced tax and estate planning courses together. Mr. Kessler consistently placed at the top of the class. This academic excellence gained him entrance into the number one tax program in the country (University of Florida) where he earned his Masters of Law in Taxation. Professionally, Mr. Kessler is very knowledgeable, works extremely hard for his clients, and is always willing and able to assist on various tax-related questions that I may have in my practice. I highly endorse Mr. Kessler."

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.
