Car Accident - THANK YOU!

I'm so lucky that I found Mr. Khalfin and his firm. They helped me through a really tough time in my life, and delivered results beyond my expectations. I was involved in a car accident and had no health insurance available for the required treatment. I tried talking to the insurance adjusters my...self but was too intimidated, as they just kept denying my injuries, and trying to settle for the property damage only. As soon as Mr. Khalfin got involved, I was sent to a team of fantastic doctors who provided great care. Better yet, I never had to deal with the insurance companies again. Make sure you talk to an attorney, and for sure consider Vaksman Khalfin!

Rating of legal services

Mr. Khalfin provided valuable legal service for me and my family. Mr. Khalfin displayed deep knowledge of the subject at hand, was prompt, very specific, and (most important) made sure that we understand every single legal aspect of the issue. Highly recommend.

Highly Recommend: Trusting, Knowledgeable and Honest

Alan was beyond helpful in all regards. He answered my questions quickly and thoroughly. The entire process was easy, seamless and stress free. The level of knowledge Alan brought to the table was impressive and helped me strategically think through the problem at hand. Dealing with attorneys can typ...ically be a frustrating situation, but Alan humanized the process and made me feel good about my final decisions while speaking to me in terms I can understand. Overall the process was enjoyable. I could not recommend his services more!!

Highly Recommend!

I am glad I had chosen Vaksman Law to create my Living Trust. Alan Khalfin the attorney whom I worked with had made the whole experience so easy and effortless. He was very patient, knowledgeable and professional. He took the time to listen and explain in plain / easy to understand English all my ...questions and concerns. From the beginning gathering all necessary documents until the end when I received my complete, clean, well-written Estate Planning package, Alan proved to be efficient, straight forward, and best of all very prompt & supportive. Even long after the process has ended, when I found myself later with some question related to my Trust Grant deed & prop. Tax, I called, left him a message due to it was around the Thanksgiving holiday weekend, to my surprise within just hours I got his email answer right away. I was so glad and truly appreciate their continued support. I had since recommended their firm to my friends and relatives. Their charge, a flat rate and very affordable; I would definitely use them again shall I have any future legal / estate planning needs.

Exceptional Service for a Great Price

Upon completing all of the preparations for my Family Trust, including getting all of my questions answered expeditiously, I was very satisfied with the service and support that I received. The detailed guidance and instructions provided by Alan and staff were helpful and, I repeat, very expeditious.... As an on-line service I have had none better. In completing our family trust, we had a Notary and his wife as a witness to our wills, they were both very thorough and examined every page of the document. They both paid highest praise to the accuracy and completeness of our documents. I am a very satisfied client who really feels that I got MORE than I paid for.
