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)!

Living Trust Expert

Bennett Braverman is a thorough, knowledgable expert in his field. He did an excellent job in walking us through the Living Trust process, coaching us through decisions, and making sure we completely understood the what we had to do and the associated benefits and risks. We will continue to recommend... him to our friends and look forward to partnering with Bennett in the future.

Estate Planning

It was time for us to do our estate planning. Bennett was recommended to us so we called him. At the consultation appointment he explained the pros and cons of a trust and estate planning. He answered all our questions and guided our decision making without being intrusive. His reasonable common sens...e and competence are very reassuring and we feel very confident that our affairs are in good hands. The process was smooth and we now have the peace of mind that everything is in order. We were encouraged to call anytime and we will review the estate planning documents in three years unless needed sooner. We would recommend Bennett without hesitation.

Truly Excellent Estate Planning Attorney!

My husband and I met with several attorneys in the past two years in an attempt to get help with our estate planning and trust establishment, but we never followed through with the process until we met Bennett Braverman. We attended one of his free informational seminars, and we were very impressed ...with his ability to communicate complex information in a professional yet engaging way. We decided to hire Bennett to help us create our trust after our initial private consultation, and it was a pleasure to work with him on this important but stressful task. Bennett patiently walked us through all the steps involved in establishing our trust and listened carefully to our questions and concerns. His expertise and friendly, approachable demeanor made us glad we had chosen him to help with our trust. We found Bennett to be a highly intellectual and wonderful person. We would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for an estate planning attorney!

Exceedingly glad for his services

My wife and I attended a dinner/seminar that he hosted. At that event we were very impressed that he specifically answered all questions. We decide to follow up with all aspects of estate planning. He is professional, provided many tips that made our estate planning easier. He included many c...ontingencies in case a particular situation could not occur and then even had additional contingencies. He offered a wide variety of services so that we could select those best for us. We now have a comprehensive estate plan that includes a detailed trust, wills, medical documents and special requests.

"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."

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.
