Posted by Sheryl | January 27, 2026 | Hired Attorney | Estate Planning

Relieved to have peace of mind that my affairs are in order!

I needed to update my will after 10 years and was highly recommended that I contact Eddie Fishman to get this accomplished. In talking my situation over with him I changed the will into a trust. This made more sense and he executed all paperwork in a timely manor. He was very helpful to insure all de...tail was exactly as I wanted my property disbursed when I’m gone as well as if I were to need assistance while still living. I’m very grateful for the referral I received and would highly recommend him to others. Thank you Eddie for your expertise!

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.
