Estate Planning 40%

I assist families with special needs children with Estate planning and conservatorships, ensuring that their special children are well cared for and that their public benefits are protected.

26 years

40%
Trusts 30%

Drafting trusts is part of Estate Planning, but Trust Administration is equally important to ensure that the Estate Plan that was created is carried out as intended.

34 years

30%
Probate 20%

Assets that are not in a trust must go through Probate to be properly transferred. I help families navigate the judicial procedures of Probate so that the wishes contained in the Will are carried out with minimal expense or delay.

24 years

20%
Elder Law 10%

Financial Elder Abuse is reaching epidemic proportions in this country. I help families go after those who would seek to take money from Elders. Elders are vulnerable to scams, but also pressure from care givers and relatives to give away money or property.

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Straight forward and honest

Mr. Feldman came recommended from a friend while I dealt with my sister's estate probate. I was in a tough situation, not only my sister's probate was extra complicated but the lawyer I had was very unprofessional and uncommunicative. I talked to Mr. Feldman and was impressed with his knowledge and e...xperiences. He assured me that he can take over the case and I would not need to worry about dealing with my ex-lawyer. Fast forward 4+ yrs and the case was just closed this month. What a load off my shoulder! Aaron not only guided me through everything but solved quite a few difficult obstacles along the way. He is not only very knowledgable on the estate law but also quite good at what he does. He gave real advice even though at time it was not what I wanted to hear and proved to be the right one. I was really impressed with how Aaron dealt with problems with patient and attention to details. Aaron took care of everything as he promised and got the probate closed as the expected date with no delay. I would highly recommend his firm.

Awful communication and neglectful representation.

We hired Mr. Feldman to review a contract and make edits and recommendation for proceeding. It took him almost 2 months to complete a few changes to a 2 page agreement. He would not answer questions, return calls, and was unavailable or busy most of the time. In his communication to us he stated t...he obvious and charged us for it or gave us conflicting advice. The first draft of the agreement was flawed and incomplete. Then when we pointed out our concerns he withdrew and did not complete the work. He has not returned our calls even though we asked for an opportunity to get back on track and make it work. He left us in a very bad position with months of wasted time. I would not trust Mr. Feldman or recommend him.

Honest and Professional

Aaron is really helpful and reasonable. He lets you know right up front what to expect in terms of cost and a timeline for getting your work done. He explained things really well and when things took longer than expected (not his fault, the dept. of corporations) he let me know right away.

Employment Contract Review

Aaron has assisted me twice in reviewing and/or interpreting employment contract provisions. He has been thorough in his review and clear and direct in his questions, clarifications and advice. His counsel has been invaluable on both occasions.

  • 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.
