Grateful

My husband and I were in need of a estate trust restatement. We went to Rachel after being talked down to by our previous attorney because of his over-complicated approach and communication. We knew it didn't have to be that complex. Rachel was able to explain and execute our wishes in a clear and si...mple way. It helped us feel more in control and it was a very pleasant experience working with her and all the staff. So glad we found her!

Creating a Trust

Ms. Shekh did a great job working with myself and my husband in creating a trust that will work for all of our combined family. It was a complicated procedure that she walked us through patiently - and we are very satisfied that we have everything in order so that our family members will have an ea...sy time distributing our wealth after we pass.

Excellent Counsel

After receiving a referral from my friend Margaret, I engaged Rachel and her team to update my will and create a trust in summer 2021. Rachel was excellent to work with, listened well and answered all of my questions. I recently had to make some updates to my estate documents, and once again Rach...el and her team made it as painless and streamlined as possible. Highly recommended!

Outstanding Job!

Rachel did an excellent job for us preparing our Family Trust, Wills, and both general and medical Powers of Attorney. She is extremely knowledgable and very well organized in preparing our documents. She also has a great ability to explain how it all works in a very friendly and professional m...anner. We really enjoyed working with Rachel and highly recommend her. Excellent Attorney who will do an outstanding job for you. Jay and Lissa S.

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.
