Recommendation

Stephen Lasky is a true professional. He has high integrity, empathy for his clients and keeps their needs in the forefront of decisions. He has compassion for people. When my father was living, he helped him understand Medicaid benefits for his wife and how to live his life alone without his spouse.... Since my father’s passing, he is helping the family with the probate process. All of the work he has performed for us has been complex and quite trying. Stephen knows estate planning and Elder law issues. He is calm, which makes his client’s calm. These issues are difficult and emotional for families and he gets it. He listens. Stephen answers questions thoroughly and brings clarity to the table and has a deep understanding of his practice. He also knows business relationships start with trust; he began building trust with us in the way he treated our dear Dad. We appreciate his wisdom and counsel, Attorney Lasky. We would recommend Stephen without reservation.

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.
