My parents estate

My parents did not take care of their estate they way they "should" have. Fortunately Jerilyn Paik was able to solve the many complications in a very efficient manner. Her knowledge of estate law is and problem solving skills are superb!!

Estate Law

Ms. Paik has been my estate attorney for 5 years now & I couldn't ask for the most trustworthy, loyal, hardworking, professional, intelligent woman representing me. Ms. Paik was referred to me by my best friend Roberta J. Schneider whom also hired her for her estate needs 45 years ago. Ms. Paik & her... super office staff have kept me updated on all my estate needs. Ms. Paik , thank you for taking such wonderdul care of my will/trust & estate needs. I will definitely be referring new clients to your firm.

I would recommend Jerilyn

Ms. Paik wrote trusts and wills for me wife and me, and we were very satisfied with her work. She explained our options to us and then delivered on what we wanted. She was very cordial and professional throughout.

A woman of valor..

My mother died of Alzheimer’s but not before she totally mangled her estate. She was too trusting and consequently taken advantage of by many unscrupulous investors and worthless lawyers. She was simply too kind and chose to believe the best of all people. After she died I discovered her previous law...yers had made some major mistakes that were going to cost us thousands. Jerilyn Paik scooped up the mangled mess, straightened it out and made the worthless lawyers pay for the damage they had done! She is a woman of great character; honest, caring, genuine and extremely knowledgeable. Since 2001 she has been our guide in estate planning and has crafted my immediate family and extended family trusts. You always feel as if you are sitting with a dear friend. You have her undivided attention and prompt and thorough response to any communication. All questions are worth her time and she is careful to be sure the answers are understood. Her staff including Nancy Lazar gives you the same feeling of importance and familiarity. I can’t imagine going anywhere else and highly recommend her to anyone looking for legal services.

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.
