Updated estate planning documents

I'm at the age where putting your affairs in order is a priority and I needed all my documents updated, from last will to health care surrogate. Robert was more than thorough, and educated me on some new tech issues that have come into play since the last revisions were done.

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.
