Highly Recommend

I decided to work with Justin after having a terrible experience with a probate lawyer after my dad’s passing. It was one of the best decisions I could’ve made. From day 1, his communication was great. He took the time to explain things in a way I could understand every step of the way. He always res...ponded promptly and was able to answer all of my questions. Would definitely recommend and if the need arises, I’ll work with him again in the future.

Exceptional

Here are the facts about these two extraordinary attorneys: 1) They both have encyclopedic knowledge of the law. You name the concern, they got the law to back you up. 2) They are the most compassionate people I know. When my mother found out she only had weeks to live, I contacted them. They had t...he revocable living trust, the power of attorney, and the advanced health care directive to me the next day. Justin even took the time to call me the next day to see how my mom was, but also how I was. He checked in with me frequently once my mother was in her final days. They don't stop at legal documents and court filings, at which they are supreme experts. They care about their clients like family. And I don't mean that in a metaphoric way. They treat as if you grew up with them. 3) These two fine men are without a doubt, and remember, I say these are facts, the platinum standard that sets the standard when it comes to estate planning, family law and they represent what every lawyer, regardless of specialty, should live up to be. 4) They are gifted attorneys and gifted human beings. And all of what I wrote still feels like an understatement. You go with Gordon & Gordon Attorneys at Law, you walk with family and excellence hand in hand.

Competent affordable lawyer

I found Justin here on Avvo when I needed an attorney that could represent me and my cousins in a probate case of a distant relative. I have contacted a few lawyers through Avvo and several of them did not even bother to answer. But Justin got back to me without delay and offered to review the case t...he next day when he was in court. I was apprehensive about the whole matter since I live overseas and required this whole procedure to be done long distance. We have arranged a Skype interview where Justin and his partner both took the time to explain the entire probate process and how they could be of assistance. I had a really good feeling after our talk, it was clear they know their business. Their fee was very fair and Justin explained to me what was included and where we could possibly incur additional expenses so there would be no surprises after signing the contract. I really appreciated how easy he was to reach and how promptly and patiently responded to all of our enquiries. Justin kept in constant contact with us and did all he could to keep the process moving forward. I would strongly recommend Justin to anyone who needs legal probate assistance.

Excellent legal help and advice

I was in need of help in creating an Advanced Healthcare Directive and Power Of Attorney on behalf of a family member, but I wasn’t sure where to start. Just looking for a bit of advice, I was able to come in contact with Justin and I couldn’t be happier that I did. Justin did a great job at informin...g me of the steps it takes to create these documents and made the process fast and easy to understand. He was able to have all the documents ready for me in just a matter of days, and also made sure I knew exactly who I could reach out to in order to get them notarized. All of this was done with speed and accuracy, and at a very reasonable price! I would highly recommend Justin and his team and wouldn’t think twice about consulting him again in the future for related legal issues.
