Estate Planning

Carla Ranum drafted my husband's and my estate planning documents a few years ago and we loved working with her. She is very knowedgeable and explains complicated tax and legal issues in a way that we thoroughly understood. The documents she drafted were also clear and reflected exactly what we wa...nted. We highly recommend her to anyone who needs an estate planning attorney!

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.
