Family Trust

My husband & I have been extremely impressed and pleased by Bennett Braverman and his services in preparing a family trust for us. We hired Bennett in 2015 to put together the original version of the trust and we have now just finished up a 3 year review to update it. What could be a tedious and un...pleasant task (who wants to talk about death?) has actually been... pleasurable! Bennett is extremely good at listening to how we want our trust structured and he has come up with excellent ways to make our ‘wants’ a reality. His ability to explain all our options very clearly is marvelous. Laws and tax implications have been changing, and he has adjusted the trust to make the most of the assets we will be passing along. As a bonus, his office staff is extremely helpful and everyone goes out of their way to make things go as smoothly as possible. To put the icing on the cake, Bennett has a warm, engaging personality (and an awesome Corgi office dog)!

Bennett Braverman and practice recommendation

Bennett and his associates have helped us with our estate planning. They have done an excellent job, especially in responding when we needed to make changes. They were also helpful when we needed a reference to other outside expertise. We have been with Bennett and his practice for some time and plan... to keep the relationship.

Restated Our Revocable Living Trust

We had the pleasure of meeting Bennett at the Boulder County Senior Law Day in August 2016. Bennett was presenting a seminar on Revocable Living Trusts. After listening to Bennett's presentation, we decided to contact Bennett to review our current Revocable Living Trust (RLT), which we had prepared... for us initially in Michigan and updated in Ohio. Since we now live in Colorado, we decided to get the RLT updated to the Colorado standard for RLTs. Bennett walked us through the steps necessary for this updating. Bennett prepared a restated RTC in language we could understand, not just in lawyer legalese. Bennett also told us how to setup our beneficiaries for all of our IRAs, stocks, etc to conform to the RTL. Bennett prepared all our health documents and financial documents for power of attorneys and Hipaa requirements. Once the RTL was restated and completed, Bennett sat down with us and went over the entire restated RTL so we understood everything contained in the restated RTL. My wife and I feel very comfortable that our restated RTL meets our estate planning needs. Thanks Bennett.

The Best

I worked with Bennett Braverman in developing a revokable trust. I needed to address a number of knotty issues and had little personal knowledge or experience essential to making sound decisions. Bennett listened. He asked insightful questions, provided feedback and clear explanations of the imp...act of multiple alternate solutions. He walked me through potential pitfalls, gave me time to review and revise, patiently listened to every question and concern. I left each working session confident that I had a solid foundation for decision making. In summary, Bennett acted on my behalf with the highest measure of integrity, knowledge and focus on my personal interest.

A kind human being who happens to be a lawyer

I was lucky to meet Bennett about 10 years ago from a referral from a close friend. When I started asking my community if they had experience with him, he was RAVED about by those who had used his services, and what was surprising, was how MANY there were in my circle. Bennett helped me with a few... items in my life, setting up my business LLC as well as consulting with me in regards my deceased mother's poor choice of a lawyer in Florida. His care and integrity during a difficult time for me was a gift. If you can make it easier on your kids when you leave the planet by using a kind and supportive being like Bennett, I would recommend doing it immediately. My experience closing my Mother's estate would have been completely different. I would urge you to give your family and kids the gift of this man who will support and care for them during a very challenging time.

It seems more often than not when the discussion of who is among the best Estate Planning attorneys around Bennett's name is usually one of the first ones mentioned--and these are from his peers (including myself) who wish we had the superior reputation Bennett has for delivering the highest quality legal product to sophisticated clients in a cost effective and timely manner."

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Bennett Braverman is a pleasure to work with. But I would not recommend an attorney who was only that. I recommend Bennett because in every action and word, he embodies integrity. He not only intends to do the right thing for his client, he has the education, the specialized knowledge and the wisdom to DO the right thing for his client. We have worked together on a few matters now, and I now know that Bennett's clients have better results than they would have with most other estate planning attorneys I have worked with. Most of that is caused by Bennett's skill and integrity but some of it is the result of his strong people skills. He has an unusual ability to understand, sometimes better than his clients do, what they really want and need. He uses that skill to deliver results that are beyond what they imagined estate planning could create for them. If you ever have the opportunity to work with Bennett, as a client, or as a colleague, don't miss it."

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.
