Yelena Sverdlova

I employed Yelena twice in the past 2 years. The first time was when my father passed away and the second time to prepare my will and trust which I had been putting off for several years. In the case of my father's estate, I handled many of the matters thanks to my father's trust but I needed Yelen...a's assistance when it came time to sell my father's condo. Since I was not familiar with real estate law, Yelena provided the legal guidance I needed to execute the sale. I couldn't have been more happy with her performance. Yelena was very responsive and within a day or two she had a purchase agreement ready for me to present to the buyers. She was there throughout the property sale answering questions and making timely updates to the agreement (usually that day). In addition, Yelena went above and beyond and answered any questions I had dealing with my father's estate in general. She filed my father's will with the county and prepared a notice of trust for me to file. Thank's to her commitment and thoroughness, I was able to close out my father's estate without any surprises. It was her engagement in my father's estate that made her an obvious choice for preparing my own will and trust. She was very thorough as I expected. She took care of setting the trust up and re-deeding my property to the trust. She prepared a binder containing my Will and Testament, Revocable Trust, Durable Power of Attorney, and Health Care Surrogate, Living Will and HIPAA. She also prepared a post-signing todo list for things I needed to take care of in addition to the documents she prepared - things you might not think about immediately (i.e. establish POD (Payment On Death) on checking and savings accounts). All in all, I was very pleased with Yelena and would strongly recommend her for your estate needs. She takes a personal interest in your situation and provides excellent legal advice and guidance.

Yelena was wonderful to work with during this difficult time. She was compassionate, professional and always very responsive to my many questions during the process of settling my fathers estate. I had no experience dealing with this process and felt lost before speaking to her. She is very knowledge...able and she gave me confidence that everything was being handled appropriately. I would highly recommend her services.

Yelena Sverdlova is a true professional in every respect. I have and will continue to recommend her to anyone in need of estate planning or legal representation. During our initial visit (she came to our house on a Saturday because our schedules were so busy) there were so many questions that came up... and Yelena explained every document and detail of the process in terms that made it completely clear to us and our daughters. We all had questions to which she answered with extreme patience. Our discussion brought us to decide on prepared Trust’s instead of a Will. Yelena prepared all of the documents required to form two trusts. We are extremely happy with her and our decision! After our meeting and our decisions were made, Yelena prepared and brought all of the documents, ready to sign, in order, page by page. Just what you want in a good lawyer!! Precision, attention to detail (absolutely meticulous), and understanding of the laws. I have complete confidence in her ability to follow the legal path all the way to the end. She has diligently worked to prepare all of the documents and then kept working to tie up lose ends with all of our properties. She also puts the information on a Flash Drive for your safe keeping. She was punctual to the minute every time we met and her work was autographed with excellence. On a personal note; Yelena is so kind and understanding. You might not know it but estate planning is an emotional undertaking. She listened to me cry when different subjects came up and for that I am grateful to her. I completely trust her with our information. She is super sweet! Every family needs a great attorney so we found the BEST!
