Top Estate Planning Attorney

Miki Valente, Esq., has been a trusted trusts and estates advisor for over 18 years. She is a joy to work with, incredibly thoughtful in her counseling, proactive in outreach, and responsive to requests for assistance. Her work product is also impeccable. Our family could not be happier to continue w...orking with Miki.

Miki was truly wonderful to work with.

Since 2011, Miki has guided our family through the creation of several trusts and administration of the closeout of several estates. She knew exactly how to handle each situation and guide us with confidence and care. She kept us updated the whole way through, always taking time to explain what was h...appening and why. Beyond her professionalism, she was kind, patient, and genuinely empathetic — qualities that made a difficult time feel much more manageable. I recommend Miki to all needing trust planning and administration of estate closeouts. Miki was truly wonderful to work with.

Professional and empathetic estate attorney

I contacted Miki as she was the estate attorney who worked on the trust of two friends of mine who died unexpectedly, naming me as trustee. I didn't work with her previously, but as she the one who drafted the trust, it was a natural choice. I had my first appointment the day after their passing an...d I was in shock, barely processing what just happened. She was very understanding and empathetic; I felt reassured I had a good partner to help me through it. It was an incredibly difficult case, with very uncommon challenges, yet she managed to provide calm and professional input and break down the complexities and the steps in a way that was easier to handle. What happened is still one of my greatest trauma and challenges, but I managed thanks to the help of trusted advisors like Miki. I could not recommend her more!

  • 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.
