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.

27 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.

35 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.

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.

Posted by anonymous | September 07, 2015 | Hired Attorney | Contracts & Agreements

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.

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.
