I cannot say enough good things about Gadzo Law. My husband and I found them more than a year ago…read moreusing our ARAG benefit from work. Alexandra is personable, friendly, and very competent legally. We wanted to prepare a living trust and will. Due to some personal issues, it took us about a year to complete the original paperwork.

And, we paid the same rates from the prior year even though the price had increased for that service in the meantime. Wonderful office and people. Thank you so much for your help, Alexandra!

For many years I had ignored having an estate plan prepared until I got divorced and realized that…read moremy ex was a not financially capable and I would be solely responsible for my children. My divorce attorney recommended Ms. Gadzo. As it turned out, my divorce attorney was not completely competent, but his recommendation that I retain Ms. Gadzo was an excellent one.

I was quite impressed by Ms. Gadzo's legal acumen, and in particular, I was impressed by her understanding of estate planning issues that are unique to divorced single parents. Ms. Gadzo is very dedicated, smart and intuitive. She is very good at client counseling, identifying significant top level issues, and reducing the abstract down to the concrete. She is also very thorough, meticulous and honest. I was very impressed by Ms. Gadzo, and would recommend her without reservation.
