Excellent Lawyer

Yelena prepared my estate plan. I was very impressed with her knowledge, attention to detail and kindness. Yelena took her time explaining different options and scenarios that could come up. She is professional and I recommend her services.

The Best of the BEST!

My wife and I were in need of a estate planner. I Googled estate planner and came across Capital Planning Law. The best decision I have ever made using Google. Yelena made the process very comfortable. She listened to everything that we wanted and went above and beyond helping us through the process.... I also asked Yelena for help on a business purchase. The contract she provided was mind blowing on the attention to detail. So much so, that the broker for the business purchase mentioned he had never seen such a contract in his 15 years in the industry. Yelena made sure she had my best interest and protected me. I felt so proud having her in my corner. Such an amazing experience.

Attention to detail, responsiveness and professionalism! A+

As I was looking for a commercial lawyer to assist me on a lease agreement related transaction, I was lucky enough to find Yelena, who not only offered me a much friendlier billing mechanism (instead of a large initial retainer many lawyers demand even before they’re willing to listen to your problem...), but also showed tremendous dedication to my case! She is incredibly knowledgeable about contract law and was able to quickly find all the problems and contradictions in the deal that were extremely relevant to my case. The level of attention to detail, wordsmanship and professionalism she provided was absolutely remarkable! I not only fully endorse and recommend her services, but now have her on my contact list for whenever I need counseling on any commercial contract again.

Great Lawyer

Yelena helped us with purchasing a business and establishing a LLC. We had very short and stressful dead line. She always answered our phones and and e-mails within 10 minutes. She was always helpful, hardworking and answered all of our questions no matter how detailed they were. Her knowledge of la...w is impressive and most importantly she doesn't tell you the answers in legalese, on the contrary she makes sure that you understand everything. She is not just a great lawyer but also she cares about her clients. Me and my husband were very happy and satisfied with Yelena's assistance that she is also assisting us for our estate planing. I would definitely recommend her without any reservations.

Estate Closure and Estate Planning

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.
