Excellent trust attorney!

We didn't know what to expect when we decided to hire an attorney to talk about estate planning. Bennett immediately put us at ease and explained our options in detail. He was terrific at establishing a connection with us and took lots of time to help us explore different options. We found him to be ...extremely knowledgeable about the legal aspects of our family trust document. His explanations were clear and he answered all our questions. He even took the time to meet with us and all our adult children at one meeting, so that they could listen to an explanation of the decisions we had made. We now have peace of mind about our estate and trust and that, to us, is priceless. We recommend Bennett without reservation.

Comprehensive attention to detail

After being pleased with the Trust Bennett wrote for my wife and I, we came back to him for help with my aging mother's Trust. Her existing Trust, written by another attorney had a weak and in adequately written Power of Attorney document. Bennett wrote a very detailed document that specifically ad...dressed a number of issues. My mother's bank's Trust officer told us that in eight years she had never seen such a comprehenisve. POA. It was easily accepted and executed.

Newbies to Experts

My wife and I decided we need a trust. We weren't exactly sure what we needed and we are fairly new to the Boulder area. We looked online and decided to meet with Bennett. WOW. I did not realize building a trust for your family could be fun. The first meeting with Bennett was a master's class in... estate planning. Bennett took the time to clearly explain how a trust works and how it would work specifically for us. He answered all of our questions (even some of my dumb ones). He was patient and caring. We decided immediately that Bennett was the guy for us, not realizing we just made a friend. The process was well planned, personal and thorough. Bennett gets to know you. He wants what is best for you and your family. I would recommend Bennett to anyone. We took a chance on Bennett by seeing him on this site....you should take the chance also. He is a good guy. (also say "hi" to Bo his dog)

Outstanding, thorough, generous Trust Lawyer

We selected Bennett Braverman from qualifications descriptions found on the Internet and interviewed him over the telephone. Upon our first visit we instantly knew we had selected a first class trust lawyer. His knowledge of the field and his ability to help us understand all facets of trusts was e...xceptional. He was extremely generous with his time and he expended a considerable amount of time getting to know in depth our particular needs of the trust. The end product was clearly written and professionally presented. His interest in follow up action at no further cost was much appreciated.

Great Experiences

Bennett provided everything we wanted and more. We were looking for a knowledgeable, engaging, understanding individual, and if they had a sense of humor and a dog they brought with them to the office even better. We had an excellent experience with our Estate Planning, and would highly recommend Ben...nett for this type activity. I especially wanted someone that my wife would be comfortable with in the event (yes likely) that I would not be around at a future date. Bennett fit this category very well and our meetings were always informative and enjoyable.

"Bennett and I practice in the same geographical area and there is some overlap in our practice. 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."

Estate planning lawyer | Aug 24

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.
