estate planning

Jeff is very knowlegeable and explains things clearly. He was patient, accomodating and courteous and answered my questions in detail. He made the whole process of setting up a will a smooth one. The whole transaction was completed in a pretty short amount of time. Very reasonable fee also.

Efficient, knowledgable, convenient, affordable

I'm a busy professional who has been putting off estate planning for many years. This year I finally decided to go through with it. I chose Jeff because he a) had online booking options, b) was willing to do video calls, and c) charged for the consultation and credits it against his total flat fe...e (I've had many "free" consultations and I now believe that good attorneys should value their time). Jeff explained things very well, was fast and efficient, and even came to my office downtown to notarize and finalize the documents. He outlined the pros and cons of various choices. He also provides sealed envelopes and folders which are very convenient. I'd definitely recommend Jeff and would work with him again!

Estate Planning: Super helpful and knowledgable...great experience and value!

After reading several reviews and having at least two other consultation meetings with attorneys to help us with our estate planning needs (e.g. a revocable living trust, wills for me and my wife, health directives, etc.), we went with Jeff due to his immediate grasp of our situation and his sensible... approach (i.e. he provided us with our options, as well as a recommendation--we never felt he was trying to 'up-sell' us--which was a vibe we got from other attorneys). We have a complex situation (e.g. a couple LLCs, rental properties, kids from previous marriage, etc.) and Jeff was able to propose approaches that addressed our situation. Perhaps most importantly, Jeff was incredibly patient and helpful in answering our questions about the specific (if not arcane) legal terms, tax mitigation approaches, etc. that were part of the process. He was thorough and professional while being friendly and approachable. We never felt rushed through the process and felt we received very good value for the price he charged. With Jeff, we feel like we've found "our attorney" we can go to for future legal needs.

Great experience with Jeffrey - would recommend

Jeffrey worked with me and my husband for estate planning (we're expecting our first baby and finally decided it was time to get our house in order!). From the get go, Jeffrey was responsive and accessible - I loved that we could coordinate some via email (easier for me since I work during the day), ...and he was accommodating of our schedules. While this isn't a fun subject, he stayed very professional and gave us all the information we needed to make a decision - he was especially patient with our numerous questions, since this was a new process for us. We had spoken with a few other lawyers, and Jeffrey was definitely the most personable and also fair on price. We had a great experience and would go back to him for other legal work in the future. Highly recommend.

Thorough - Insightful and Kind

Jeff took the time to not only ask me questions regarding my personal situation he followed up with specific solutions. His knowledge was most helpful in giving me the ability to make decisions. He allowed me the time to process his suggestions and then execute my documents. His respect and kind d...emeanor really helped me feel comfortable with my decisions. I would highly recommend him for any sort of Estate Planning. It was very easy for me to pay him as I truly feel the service that I received was well worth the money I spent!

  • 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.
