Posted by Marti | January 31, 2011 | Estate Planning

Professional with attention to detail

Gregory Bessert handled our estate planning documents in an extremely timely manner and with a high degree of professionalism. He is an excellent communicator, listened well, and provided information through experience, stories, and analogies in order to expand how we looked at our subject matter. ... He is highly organized and all steps in the paperwork process were outlined and clearly explained. Mr. Bessert had no problem letting us know that his depth of knowledge regarding a couple of our questions regarding the health care directive was somewhat limited, but he provided us with resources that we could pursue to obtain satisfactory answers. For meetings, he also made every effort to work around our schedules. It is nice to know that we have completed a portion of our estate planning with expert help from someone who genuinely cares about helping us create the type of documents we wish to have prepared, giving us a great deal of peace of mind. We will happily refer to Mr. Bessert anyone who asks for help with tax or estate planning assistance.

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.
