Great experience!

My husband and I just finished the process of setting up our estate with Len and his amazing team. They are very thorough and walked us through the whole process including answering many questions for us. Our situation was quite complicated with many moving parts, Len knew exactly what we needed and ...took care of everything. It's such a relief knowing we are set up the best way possible should something happen. I highly recommend Len and his team to friends, family, and clients for estate planning and such. They will take great care and make the process as easy as possible. We are very grateful.

You shouldn't go anywhere else!

My wife & I were referred to Len and his incredible staff. And we are very glad we were. Professional, friendly, knowledgeable and explains this process in a way you can understand. Over the top customer service and tips that really helped us, from his many years guiding clients. We are very glad we ...worked with Lenard and his staff. You really should not go anywhere else if you want it done well and in a way that makes you feel glad you did.

Good experience

Len assisted me by preparing my will, financial power of attorney and health care power of attorney. He was thorough, prepared and professional, as were his staff. I would refer anyone to them.

Excellent professional work product

My wife and I want to provide a very positive and excellent professional rating and recommendation for Len and his office for their total Estate Planning Document package. We had Len do a complete review and rewrite of our previous Estate document package with a significant level of sophistication, ...complexity and multiple Trusts. We both have worked professionally with international law firms and found Len to be extremely competent and qualified. His work product was excellent and precisely met our unique needs and requirements. In addition, he provides a total complete package of services and supporting administration including internet vault storage of the documents and separate access for Health Care Directives.

Excellent

My husband and I set up a trust, and Len took us through the procedure step by step. I liked the way he made each step clear and helpful. At one point he stayed past closing time to get all the paperwork signed. When we need an attorney again, he will be our first choice.

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.
