Peace of Mind

My husband and I asked Jeannie to help us formalize our estate planning and draw up our wills. She was extremely accommodating and professional. She discussed our options thoroughly to make sure we fully understood everything, and she willingly made changes we requested after review of the draft doc...uments. I now have a great sense of peace regarding the disposition of my estate. I highly recommend Jeannie OBrien's services.

Trustworthy and Competent - Very Understanding

Jeannie is a very competent and knowledgeable attorney. She has a great understanding of our unusual situation and has provided us guidance at every turn in dealing with my father's estate and trusts. She is also helping us with our own estate planning so our kids won't end up in the same mess that m...y dad left us with. She is great about explaining legal stuff in terms that us non-lawyers could understand. We will continue to depend on Jeannie for legal advice as different issues crop up.

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.
