"Trust"worthy, indeed

Elliott established a non-revocable trust for me prior to my marriage. It was tricky, since I'll be recieving funds from my mother's trust when she dies. Elliott guided me in the process of deciding which beneficiaries to declare and how to divide the trust's assets and income. He was quite willing t...o include language I originated in that regard. He handled all the notifications to the various title companies and financial institutions I deal with, so that the trust formally owns or is beneficiary to my assets. Elliott charged very a competitive rate. Also, he worked in a timely fashion, seeing me within a week of my initial inquiry, and the whole business was complete within a month. I am relieved to have provided for my wife and heirs with so little trouble. I would recommend Elliott to anyone in his immediate area for estate planning.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
