Estate Planning Attorney

I recently worked with Attorney Marlin Gusman to help my parents create a comprehensive estate plan, including their wills, a trust, medical power of attorney, and a living will. From start to finish, the experience was outstanding. Marlin was incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and easy to wor...k with. He took the time to explain each component clearly and made sure my parents felt comfortable and informed throughout the process. Communication was excellent—always responsive and respectful of our time. One of the things we appreciated most was the his thoughtful and compassionate approach. Wills and other parts of estate planning can be a sensitive topic, but Marlin handled everything with care and patience. His fees were very reasonable for the level of service provided, which made the whole process even more stress-free. I highly recommend Attorney Marlin Gusman to anyone looking for a trustworthy and skilled estate planning attorney in the New Orleans area. You’ll be in great hands.

Excellent service

Marlin was very professional and very reasonable on price. He handed my case and I’m very pleased with the results.

Posted by Terry | March 14, 2019 | Hired Attorney | Speeding & Traffic Ticket

Highly recommend this professional lawyer!

Mr. Gusman Jr truly made my experience with addressing a traffic ticket out of state much easier than I could have ever thought possible. While visiting New Orleans on vacation I had received a speedy ticket for exceeding the speed limit by 23 mph. I had reached out to several local attorneys in th...e area while I had already returned to my residence in the state of Florida. I had reached out to several attorneys but when reaching out to Mr. Gusman Jr not only did I receive a reply immediately, I also received professional advise in regards to my situation after he was patient enough to listen to my circumstances without interruption. Mr. Gusman Jr was not only well versed but he was fair in his pricing for representation. We had spoken maybe about 5 times throughout the process of execution which was mostly handle via email to handle the ticket and it resulted in a reduction to a non moving violation that would not effect me with points on my license. I highly recommend working with this gentlemen as I could not have asked for a better process and representation as he offered. He may only have a few years of experience as his original profile had explained, however I feel as though he is well ahead of his years with how he handled himself with process, professionalism , and his follow through to the very end. Do not miss an opportunity because of tenure he will address your situation and solve for a result that is just and fair! Thank you Mr. Gusman Jr. !!

Awesome Lawyer!

Marlin is a great attorney. He was very helpful in my case. His rates are very affordable too. Will definitely hire him again if the need arises.

Posted by anonymous | June 15, 2018 | Child Custody

Honest and Very Helpful

Althouh Mr. Gusman could not accept my case due to it being in another parish too far for him to travel. He was very helpful for preparing me for child custody hearing. I did not have a lawyer for that due to not having enough time, but I won domicile custody at this hearing. He was honest about t...he whole process and did not paint a pretty picture and give me just what I want to hear. Thank you Mr. Gusman for the help. I sure wish he could have represented me since this will be an ongoing issue for a while.
