Estate Planning

Russell completed estate planning for my husband and I. He was very thorough and everything went very smoothly. We were able to set up a time when my son was in town to get everything signed and Russell answered any and all questions we had. Would highly recommend Russell Golowin!

Elder Law Expert

I consulted Russell Golowin with concerns about my sister’s hospitalization and Medicaid application for long term care. He was very patient, kind, and considerate. His counsel prevented me from taking precipitous and uninformed action. He explained how my sister could revoke power of attorney do...cuments she had signed. Should she need a voluntary guardian or conservator, Mr. Golowin will be doing the work.

Absolutely the Best

Russ has been invaluable for me as I do my estate planning. His patience and willingness to share all options with each decision are fantastic. Highly recommended!

Outstanding Lawyer

I was recently very pleased and satisfied working with Elder Lawyer Russell Golowin. Mr Golowin set up a Estate Planning Portfolio for me and finished the final distribution process of a Irrevocable Gifting Trust. He was recommended to me by a friend and I felt very comfortable with his service. I... will highly recommend Mr Golowin to friends.

Highly recommended estate planner

We contacted Russ to update our wills and other documents related to financial and healthcare needs. During the initial consultation, he was able to discern our needs and to make suggestions appropriate to our circumstances. He completed our paperwork and then spent a considerable amount of time veri...fying that we understood and were in agreement with everything before it was finalized. It is a huge relief to know that we now have our affairs in order. We found Russ to be a dedicated professional who is highly knowledgeable about elder law and we will continue to work with him as our needs evolve.

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.
