VA Benefits and Irrevocable Trust

Ben handled our request for Veteran Aid and Attendance for our mother, a surviving spouse. He changed a revocable trust to an irrevocable trust upon our request. Ben is a professional expert in his field. I have referred many friends to his firm who now also agree.

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.
