Fantastic Estate Lawyer

When working with a lawyer to create the structure for your estate, children and family when you pass you need a competent, precise and compassionate lawyer. Meryl led us through the process with clarity, offered individualized options as she got to know our family and honed in each and every need t...o make sure we let comfortable through the process. We set up the structure for our wills, estate, health directive with careful consideration for our executors and guardians. We highly recommend Meryl A. Griff as a competent, detail oriented and compassionate lawyer.

Will, Power of Attorney, and Healthcare Directive

Meryl Griff is a pleasure to work with. I updated my Will, Power of Attorney, and Healthcare directive at the same time. She listened to my requirements, and then pulled together all the documents quickly. She was very adaptable in making several updates, and reviewed all the documents with me in ...detail prior to final signature. She answered all my questions and provided legal perspective and recommendations on several key points. As part of her service, she also provided original documents and copies for me to distribute to the people who would need them. The whole process was simple and quick, due to Meryl’s professional and personable approach.

Saved the day for me!

Meryl was suggested to me by my lawyer in California to handle my complicated real estate case, and I'm glad he did. Meryl was on it immediately to save time from an imminent foreclosure to my family home, previously owned by my brother, that had fallen way behind in mortgage payments. She got the fo...reclosure stopped, helped with my paying the debtors off, and worked with colleagues to change the title to my name. Throughout the process, Meryl kept me informed via overnight mailings and timely email communications. She is a true professional and a pleasure to work with. I recommend her highly to anyone who feels overwhelmed by real estate law, especially inter-state deals. Very happy that we saved the family home for my brother and nephew and will keep her number on my speed dial! Thank you again Meryl. Well done.

Excellent will, AHD, power of attorney prep experience

Meryl was referred to us by a neighbor and delivered thorough, thoughtful, clear guidance through preparation of our family wills. She made a house call to gather data for drafting the documents (very helpful for a young family) and got us in and out of her office in under an hour to sign the offici...al documents. She also gave us excellent "homework" in the form of recommendations for other basic estate planning instruments (no hard sells, just sound, common-sense advice). We strongly recommend Meryl.

Friendly, conscientious, patient and caring

Meryl worked with me and my Mom in handling my Dad's estate taxes. We couldn't have been luckier to be paired with her....Meryl was always professional, patient and caring when working with us and she was extremely conscientious in following up with us re: possible suggestions to save money or time..., or gently nudging me to keep things on track ;-) I will likely be hiring Meryl again to handle my own future estate planning. She's a real pleasure to work with,

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards

  • 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.
