Diedre Wachbrit Braverman

My husband and I were worried about estate taxes and about making sure our kids get the money we're leaving them in a way that helps and doesn't hurt them if anything happens to us while they're still young. Diedre helped us choose a strategy that would minimize taxes but more important the money ...will be spent on things that help our kids until they're mature enough to handle those sorts of decisions themselves. And then it can't be taken away from them if they get divorced. I didn't even know you could do stuff like that. She took time to explain everything to us, sometimes twice. We are both really very happy that we found Diedre.

A very serious medical emergency required that Diedre relocate to where her husband could care for her and supervise the hospital's care of her serious medical condition. While she has been under treatment for many months, some of her legal work has been put on hold. It appears that although she is n...ot yet able to return to work full-time, she has addressed some clients's unfinished projects and is attempting to direct all of her time outside of the hospital to meeting her clients's needs. If you have a legal project that is unfinished, I am sure Attorney Braverman will address it within the boundaries of her medical constraints. Write her directly at the email address in the title, and be sure to include how to best reach you in your email, as well as what you are most hoping will be done right away. While her medical issues kept her unavailable recently, she is a highly caring and highly ethical person who is doing everything in her power to provide her clients with the best possible outcomes. Anonymous complaints don't allow her to address your issues. Contact her directly with specific needs and wants, and a way for her to reach you so that she can meet those needs and wants.

We are fortunate enough to have what could become an estate-taxable estate. Attorney Braverman walked us through the various techniques we could choose to reduce or eliminate estate tax after both my spouse and I are gone, and our children inherit. She also understood the other end of the wealth spec...trum, and together we created a special-needs trust for our disabled child so that she can continue to receive state healthcare. (It doesn't hurt that she's been quoted on Special Needs Trusts in the Wall Street Journal twice this year alone.) Attorney Braverman clearly understood the technical details of every strategy we chose to employ but didn't ignore the human side of planning either. Our detailed conversation about naming successor trustees has given both my spouse and me tremendous peace of mind. And Attorney Braverman also gave us educational materials that she wrote for us to give them on just what a trustee is expected to do. I know that when the laws change, as they constantly do, Diedre Braverman will be prepared to address those changes in our plan to ensure that it works the same way ten years from now as it's designed to work today.
