Professional, respectful and concise!

Adam turned what would have been a very long and difficult probate process into an extremely efficient and painless one. He communicates frequently and professionally and always answers questions promptly. I would happily recommend Adam for his probate services to anyone who requires them. I can o...nly imagine his other services are top notch!

I highly recommend Adam Slonim

My husband and I contacted Adam in 2015 to prepare a Family Trust for us. We were so comfortable working with him. Adam made a very cumbersome and somewhat intimidating process easy for us. He explained things in terms we could understand, was professional but not stuffy, and always prompt with getti...ng us the information and documents that we needed. Shortly after we did our trust, my mother passed away and we asked Adam to help us with her trust. He made a very difficult time easy to do. Adam is compassionate, professional and extremely easy to work with.

Adam Slonim

When my father passed away I was named the trustee of his estate. The docments had been prepared by another lawyer and several issues required extra legal effort to resolve. Adam did a superb job of identifying the issues and sequencing in what order paperwork should be filed to make sure everything ...in the trust was in order. There were several quit claim deeds and property transfers in addition to basic trust items. After my father's estate was settled and I needed to create my own trust, Adam's prior work made him the only attorney I considered. When I left the state and needed advice and a referral to a new estate attorney, Adam knew exactly what firm would work for me in my new location. Years later when a question arose about my father's trust, an attorney found Adam's name on a document and contacted him. Adam quickly provided both a verbal and document response to their question. His combination of expertise, organization and genuine kindness is exceptional. He was easy to work with and considerate under difficult circumstances. I remain grateful for finding him and for all his services.

Probate - Estate Settlement

Adam has been kind, patient, diligent and thoughtful as he helped guide us through the process of settling my stepfathers estate. His explanations and advice helped navigate this painful and foreign (to me) process. Three words describe his services: Responsive. Dedicated. Thorough.

REVIEW & UPDATE OF LIVING TRUST

Mr. Solnim (Adam) was recommended to me by a friend. It was an excellent recommendation. When we met for our first consultation, Adam preceded that meeting with a listing, in detail, of everything I needed to bring so that all documents were readily available to him. Several weeks passed before ou...r 2nd and final meeting and in the interim I had several inquires that needed clearing up. Adam responded promptly, and in detail. He satisfied all concerns in a manner that a novice of legalese could fully understand. He shows concern for his clients, and is very professional in his demeanor.
