clear, professional communicator!

Very happy to warmly recommend Miki! I've recently gone through some family changes and she's excellent - a communicator who explains the ins and outs of estate planning (and why you might want to try different things) patiently and clearly! Looking forward to working with Miki for years to come.

Great advocate

Miki is very professional, and smart, and she is also very flexible and kind. Scheduling of appointments was easy and everything was done virtually except the signing of documents, which was very convenient. She asked deeper questions to help me discover the intent of my decisions in order to determi...ne the most fair dispersion of my assets. She is also very thorough which is an integral skill for a good attorney. I recommend her for your estate planning needs without reservation.

Comprehensive Estate Plan and related documents

Miki helped me prepare a comprehensive estate plan and all related documents to replace a plan that was over 20 years old and did not reflect my current family and personal situations. I had been avoiding this effort for years. However, the process that Miki follows helped me focus on the most import...ant issues and questions. Once I was able to address the in initial questions, many of which involved other family members, the process moved smoothly. It took less than three months. I am very pleased with the results.

I've worked with Miki over many years

As my family expanded to include five grandchildren, my estate planning needs have evolved. Over the years, Miki Valente has worked with me to clarify my goals while dealing with various complex family situations. My adult children now work with MV Law for their families and have this to say about he...r: “Miki Valente’s attention to detail and propensity for quality client relations is unparalleled.” “Miki’s holistic approach to estate counsel and service is welcomed.”
