Excellent source for estate planning

We first enlisted Mr. Sharma's help in 2014 to establish our family trust. As an estate planning specialist, he made the process remarkably smooth and much less daunting than we anticipated. Over the years, whenever we've needed revisions or had questions about our estate plan, he has been consistent...ly helpful and willing to guide us. He even took the time to address my concerns regarding a separate trust, putting our minds at ease. We feel confident under his expert estate planning guidance and would highly recommend Mr. Sharma and his team to anyone seeking comprehensive estate planning advice.

So Helpful!!

Mr. Sharma was always available to take my calls and give me all the information I needed. Such a delightful change from the attorney I previously used. He and his staff were courteous, professional and always willing and able to assist me. I would use this firm for any and all legal needs that th...ey provide. The attorney that we met with, Hope, was exceptional at explaining all the documents that we had to sign, and she was so polite and friendly. Just a great overall experience. I highly recommend this firm.

Wonderful experience!

Maneesh handled my estate plan with such care, efficiency, knowledge and skill. He is very thorough, and explains everything so anyone can understand. It took only a few days to get my trust. It is the most comprehensive and important document you will ever receive, so it's crucial to get it done RI...GHT. He exceeds expectations!

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.
