Posted by Meeg | December 29, 2015 | Hired Attorney | Trusts

Hard-working and Thorough

Alan specializes in estate and elder law, and he's committed to creating trusts with provisions that reflect what his clients want and need, while making sure that the trust does its job in protecting client assets within the law. His follow through is excellent in getting those assets titled correct...ly. He went the extra mile by directly talking to an annuity company so that the annuity was protected inside the trust. He also considered our trust provision requests carefully and did research and made suggestions for getting what we wanted how we wanted it with additional features we hadn't originally considered. Thanks, Alan, for all you've done and continue to do!

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.
