Excellent Estate Attorney

I am writing to recommend Chris Tymchuck as an Estate Attorney. I worked with Chris to establish our two family trusts (one for my husband, one for me) and also our estate planning documents (wills, powers of attorney, etc). She is an intelligent, capable, dedicated, and personable person. She provid...ed helpful direction in a timely manner. I've recommended her to friends and she has provided them with excellent service.

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.
