Outstanding Attorney

If there were 10 stars I would absolutely give her the full 10. I found Mina on Google and it was our lucky break because we worked with 5 attorneys that charged a fortune and were completely negligent with all of our legal needs. We worked with her for the last 2 years on a family estate case and she was effective, worked hard, and was aggressive to get to the finish line. She is the most honest attorney that we've worked with and I would highly recommend her and could write a novel about Ms. Sirkin's excellence.

Superb Estates Attorney

I found Mina to be top notch. She is extremely knowledgeable and clearly goes the extra mile for her client. She is aggressive, responsive and forward thinking. I would highly recommend Mina and wish her continued success.

Posted by Charles | July 24, 2012

Quick, Responsive, got the job done!

Ms. Sirkin did excellent work for me in a very difficult (for me, not so much for her) probate situation. She got all the specifics handled without rework. Her staff was there for me 100% of the time. My case involved a trial and I was still trading emails with her at midnight -- on Saturday, before the trial - WOW! She (we) prevailed. I attribute success to her diligence, hard work, and leaving no stone unturned.
