Excellent Attorney for Family and Trust matters

Linda Wasielewski is an excellent attorney who is very knowledgeable about trusts and family matters. She answered all of my questions during a difficult time. I would highly recommend her to anyone.

Estate Planning

My husband and I went to Linda to put together our first estate plans -- wills, power of attorney, living wills. She listened carefully to all of our questions and gave us good guidance, including helping sort through pros and cons when we needed to make specific decisions. She was very helpful and o...ffered great services for a very fair price!

Linda is dedicated to giving her clients the best possible service at an affordable rate. She set up our estate plan and has represented us on other legal matters. We have been pleased with the results each time we have used her and will continue having her handle our legal matters.

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.
