Estate Planning

I hired Beth to draw up several legal documents concerning estate planning, (e.g. wills, POA, advanced directive, etc.). Beth was timely and accommodating regarding my wife's inability to travel to her office. Beth deliver the paper to the house which was very helpful. Beth research options concer...ning qualification for medicaid regarding assets at no extra charge.

Beth was very helpful with our estate planning documents. She took time to explain what each document was for and gave us examples of situations where the documents were necessary. Thanks!

EXCELLENT LAWYER

Mrs. Serafini-Smith was referred to me thru my employer, Beacon Federal Credit Union. My husband and I had her draw up our estate planning documents. I'm in my late 20's and my husband is in his mid 30's. It is something we had been looking into for a while, due to my husband having children from ...a previous marriage. She took time to answer any and every question and concern we had. She is very easy to get ahold to as well, I contacted her multiple times with our various questions and concerns and she was always quick to respond. I had her change a few things multiple times and she was always quick getting me the corrected documentation. I would highly recommend her.

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.
