Trust

Larry has handled the Trust my parents had done by another Lawyer which was completely out of line for what they needed. Long draw out process that Larry had to deal with. He was always available for questions and helped me to try and navigate the nightmare that was left. And recently I hired him ...to do mine. Much Relief! I just wish that my parents would have had Larry at the beginning, things would have been so much easier. Life throws us curve balls everyday. And it’s amazing how much knowledge you need to navigate this difficult process. I Thank Larry and his firm Ajalat& Ajalat for all they have helped me through. Always friendly and professional !

Larry is very knowledgeable of trusts, and explained everything with great detail. Would highly recommend him.

Fast, Friendly and Knowledgeable

Larry was referred to us by our Realtor Kristine Fine and was the absolute best fit for us and our plan to finally establish a family trust. He made us feel immediately at ease with this daunting project and explained every aspect of the process in an approachable and understandable way that immediat...ely set us at ease. Not only did he guide us in customizing the documents to meet our needs and best care for our family, he was able to turn around the packet quickly! We were so impressed! We sincerely appreciate Larry's friendly manner and admire his knowledge of this process. Thanks to him, we were able to accomplish something we've wanted to do for years. We highly recommend Larry for anyone who needs Estate Planning and urge those who have been meaning to do it, to finally make the call. It is important and, with Larry's help, so much easier than you think!

Great Attorney

I hired Lawrence to do my estate planning, and I couldn't be happier. He was so clear in his explanations of every part of the trust and other documents. He is a wonderfully competent lawyer and a person I feel I can trust. I now feel I have a connection with a superb law firm that I would assuredly ...go to should any other legal needs arise. I really like the fact that theirs is a family law firm.

Very Satisfied Clients

My husband and I had been wanting to do estate planning for our family but had not found the right professional to suit our needs. Then, we met Larry through a community event and knew immediately that he was the right attorney for us. He was very thorough and explained all the details and what was r...equired of us in terms we could readily understand. He also completed our trust within a very short timeframe, which was a request we had made of him. We cannot say enough good things about Larry and his firm. We have had great communication; the work has been impeccable, and we're very happy with the result. We're no longer worried about our own futures or those of our children, and we have Larry to thank for that invaluable peace of mind.
