Estate Planning Documents

Samantha Rauba helped my wife and I prepare our wills and other estate documents. She is knowledgeable and well organized resulting in a very efficient process. She communicates clearly explaining the law, legal documents and is comfortable to work with. Fees are very reasonable. I highly recommend h...er for estate planning.

Estate Planning

We hired Ms. Rauba to review our estate with a focus on security and protection of our assets. It was immediately clear she cared about our concerns, was knowledgeable of the subject and quickly put us at ease. She was never in a hurry and allowed time for us to completely discuss ALL issues. Ms. Rau...ba pointed out points we had not devoted thought to that would have an impact on our estate. We walked away completely satisfied. She is a very nice and caring lady.

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.
