"We hired Shayna for estate planning and we had a remarkable experience. Shayna's practice is well thought-out, organized, and thorough. She took time to get to know us and our unique needs and concerns, was thoughtful and patient in working with us, and overall delivered a very clear and helpful estate plan that we are confident in and, above all, understand! The entire process with Shayna and her firm was impressive, from our initial consultation down to the last meeting where she carefully reviewed our final documents with us. We also appreciate the regular check-ins for annual changes in status and support in transitioning our assets. Lastly, her fee structure was logical and reasonable. I have recommended Shayna to a number of friends and family members and look forward to continuing to work with her for years to come."

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.
