Great attorney

Roland was able to replace another attorney I hired in a probate matter quite quickly. That other attorney had made a lot of mistakes, and Roland spotted and corrected every one of them. I am eternally grateful. His support staff and firm are top notch as well.

Great Estate planner and litagation

Roland Achtel has been representing me in a Trust/ Will litigation for the past two years. His representation has been of the highest quality possible and I highly recommend him for your estate plannings or any contesting that may arise.

TOP RATING IN MY VIEW

Roland did a thorough remake of our estate planning and wills. We were very impressed with the end product at a reasonable cost. I would recommend him.

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.
