Estate Planning

After consulting with a couple of different firms, I hired the Silverblatt Law firm to draw up my will and associated documents. They were prompt, patient and knowledgeable as they led me through this process. I have total confidence in them.

i have consulted with Mr Silverblatt and his Sr Paralegal Amanda on several occasions regarding estate concerns / living trust. what I appreciate is their personal attention given to us, explaining things in a manner that I understood, and confident with the results. if anyone has concerns with wil...ls, estates, living wills, etc, please go to Atty Silverblatt first; they are the experts. thank you!

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.
