This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Thank you, Summer

We all know, want and plan to get our legal, financial and healthcare affairs in-order for either the unlikely event that we are hit by some random life altering accident or to make it simple and easy for our surviving loved ones after we’ve lived a long fulfilling life and passed peacefully in our s...leep. If you are ready to do this, hire Summer Selleck. She’s the real deal. Summer is super smart, personable, organized and professional. She helps you understand the tactical steps, she listens and she translates your wishes into the legal documents. Summer keeps her promises, and she checks her ego outside the calls and meetings. Summer is such a pleasure to work with, that I’d almost say that she makes this dreaded (yet important) task FUN! Thank you, Summer. My Husband and I are feeling really happy that our paperwork is ready and waiting,

I highly recommend Summer

My husband and I needed a will and a trust before we left on a vacation to Africa. We really did not give Summer a lot of time to do this. She had it finished and ready to sign in record time. She made us both feel very comfortable that she was taking care of us. My husband is not the easiest to plea...se when it comes to these types of issues. Summer also helped me with another situation from a former employee. She calmed me down as I was a bit of a wreck and took care of the problem. I highly recommend Summer. It gives me great confidence to say “I have an amazing attorney, Summer Selleck”

Energetic and Informed

Have known Summer for about a year now and have consulted with her on some estate planning matters for my extended family. She is kind, honest and eager to help wherever that is possible. Most importantly, she is knowledgable and decisive which I find to be very comforting. I would trust anything ...that Summer has to say on a matter and I never fail to recommend her to anyone I meet that needs any sort of family law help.

Estate Planning and Trust

Summer is a true professional. She takes the time to listen to her clients needs and offer the solutions they need to protect their financial wellbeing. I have had the pleasure of working with Summer and her clients and I would highly recommend working with her.

Consultation regarding beneficiary rights

Summer was extremely helpful in our initial meeting. I explained to her all the details of my situation and she understood every one very clearly. We were able to have a very productive conversation as a result. She is clearly a zealous advocate of her clients and I am looking forward to working with... her in the future should the need arise.

Avvo Rating

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.
