Exceptional Service

Colleen was awesome! She worked with us every step of the way helping us understand the family trust we wanted to setup. She explained everything along the way and patiently and passionately answered our many questions. She also had numerous lessons learned from past clients that we were able to tak...e advantage of to avoid similar issues. This was a very positive experience and I only wish we had done it sooner!

I would definately recommend Colleen

I was happy to have found Scarola Law (Colleen). She was so easy to work with and understood my needs with modifying my trust, will and all other documents. Everything was done in a timely manner. I will definitely use her services again if/when the need arises.

Very professional and timely

Colleen worked with me to establish my will. She made the process as easy as possible and was very flexible with my schedule. The quality of the documents is superb, I would definitely work with her again!

Will Updates

Colleen helped us update our wills from out of state. She was friendly, professional, and helped make the process as painless as possible. Thanks again!

Ms

Colleen was great. We contacted her to discuss updating our wills and whether we should create a Trust. She was very thorough in answering our questions and patient with us as we worked through some of the decisions we needed to make to complete all of the documents. She is very organized and very kn...owledgeable in estate planning. Colleen took what was expected to be a tedious process and made it simple for us to navigate and complete.

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.
