Vidhya is quite simply the best!

No one enjoys making end-of-life plans. My husband, Mike, and I delayed our estate planning for years. Fifteen years ago, we had a false start with a cut-rate lawyer. One session with this utterly incompetent attorney drove us into the caring and ultra-competent arms of Vidhya Babu. What makes Vid...hya so perfect for her profession? She actually enjoys what she does. This means she is motivated to keep abreast of estate law, which she is then able to explain in clear English to her clients. And she doesn’t roll her eyes when you ask her to repeat! And sometimes repeat again! Vidhya has infinite patience. After our first meeting in 2010, Vidhya would only occasionally nudge us to ensure we were making progress. She understood our procrastination. Vidhya listens. We always felt she understood our requirements and was supportive as we struggled with our decision making. Thanks to Vidhya, Mike and I have wills, durable powers of attorney, advanced health directives, and a revocable trust which was created in 2010. We updated these documents in 2016, and then earlier this year, we did a complete rethink and rewrite. Mike and I whole-heartedly recommend Vidhya as a consummate professional who will guide you as painlessly as possible through your estate planning.

Expert

Vidhya Babu has handled my estate issues for 14 years. She expertly guided me through probate and set up a trust following my husband’s untimely death in 2010. Recently, she updated my trust, will, and advanced care directive after the passing of my adult son. Vidhya Babu is an expert who is also ver...y efficient and compassionate. It is my great fortune to know her and retain her as my legal expert.

Client

Vidhya is so experienced and knowledgeable. She made the process of creating a comprehensive trust so pleasant and effortless. She not only helped me update my own trust, she has also helped me, as a trustee, to administer my father’s trust after he passed away. Her expertise and guidance through thi...s challenging process was invaluable. Vidhya was actually recommended to me by another estate attorney for her higher level of expertise needed for my situation. I can’t recommend Vidhya highly enough for estate planning and trust administration.

Excellent Estate Attorney

Vidhya is amazing! She helped me sort out all aspects of my fathers' estate, and handle all the elements left undocumented or in questionable status. Please, do yourself (and your kids!) a favor and have these conversations with Vidhya Babu who understands all the ins and outs of the legal system, ...and all the questions you need to ask yourself to prepare for the worst. She is so kind and patient, and really helps you understand all the complexities into simple steps.

Highly recommend to others

I have worked with Vidhya Babu for over a decade. She is very responsive and knowledgeable about estate planning and trusts. I value her advice tremendously. She is extremely easy to work with and she takes the time to educate her clients as well which I find very helpful. Highly recommend to others....

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.
