Knowledgeable and easy to work with

Me worked with Chris to set up our trusts. Our main goal was to save our benefactors time and effort when we pass, and Chris was able to help us achieve that goal. Even though our finances were relatively simple, Chris helped us see all the hidden stumbling blocks and ways around them. He was patient..., clear, friendly, and answered all of our questions completely. We definitely weren't looking forward to doing out estate planning (who does?), but Chris made it work for us and helped us have a pleasant experience at the same time. We recommend him very highly and look forward to continuing our work with him in the coming years.

Excellent

Chris represented my family in estate planning for my mom. We knew very little about how trusts and estate planning work, but Chris was very patient and able to clearly explain the concepts and process to us. He was very knowledgeable, professional, and patient, and his kind and approachable demeano...r made him a joy to work with. I highly recommend him.

Professional and personable

Chris met with my husband and me to discuss estate planning. We were impressed with his concern that we understand the process and in his patience in educating us. We continue to be pleased with the kindness and personal attention he has offered! Estate planning involves a great deal of thought an...d some uncomfortable conversations, so having a lawyer you can trust is very important.

Above & Beyond

I can’t say enough great things about Chris. He was so wonderful when helping me and my elderly mother with her estate planning. English isn’t my mom’s first language, and he patiently explained the ins and outs, answering every question. Then he went above and beyond, offering grea...t advice and providing contact information on local services to help Mom over the next few years. By nature, making these kind of decisions can be stressful and overwhelming. Chris’ expertise, along with his calm and kind demeanor, made the whole process a very positive experience. I will highly recommend him to all my friends - and to you.

Warm and professional

Christopher met with me and Emily Sorbi his assistant in order to give me an insight of what a Living Trust and Estate Planning entailed. I felt very comfortable receiving thorough and organized information of what my needs might be. Christopher took care to speak carefully and warmly about the ...issues at hand, possible scenarios and how best to prepare for them. Christopher communicated all details in a most professional way, taking care to assure me that I should stop him at any time with questions and or to let him know if I failed to understand the issues being discussed. I highly recommend Christopher as an attorney and guide for making the most of your estate planning portfolio.

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.
