Testimonials
“Regina did a great job educating us on the estate planning process. She answered all of our questions (and more) and her documents were flawless. Her team assisted us in signing everything remotely and everything was completed without any issues. It really was an efficient and positive experience. I highly recommend Regina and her firm for your estate planning needs.”
“As a fellow attorney, I know what to look for in quality legal services. My family hired Regina for a complicated [NYC Article 81] guardianship proceeding that also involved trust and estate planning. Regina promptly responded to any inquiries throughout the entire process and clearly communicated with us regarding legal strategy and next steps. Additionally, Regina successfully settled our case and properly drafted all relevant agreements. She demonstrated a depth of knowledge and understanding for her area of practice and passion for her work. I recommend her and would use her services again if ever needed.”
– Melissa S.
“Regina and her team proved to be an excellent resource and partner in navigating me through the lengthy and challenging process of resolving a number of complex estate and property ownership issues after the sudden death of my Uncle. In addition to the complicated legal matters she was extremely helpful in connecting me to other needed resources to assist in the management and final disposition of the home and other property. This was extremely helpful as I was trying to manage this process from several states away. Her straight forward approach and practical advice was greatly appreciated.”
– John S.
“Regina has been my lawyer for over seven years and solved my varied needs brilliantly. Most recently she has written out my will, and did it expeditiously and meticulously, and listen[ed] patiently to the concerns of my children. She is a superb lawyer.”
