Excellent Estate Planning Attorney

Sarah is an excellent attorney. She worked closely with my wife and I to create a tailored estate plan that fit our goals. As parents with a child who has special needs, we required quality, thoughtful advice. Sarah provided that advice and more, quickly answering our questions in terms we could unde...rstand Whenever anyone asks about estate-planning attorneys, we unequivocally recommend Sarah.

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.
