From the first day we met until the closing of my mother's estate, he always responded quickly when we reached out with questions or concerns.

Avi was patient and carefully explained many details and possible outcomes which clearly demonstrated his knowledge and experience. He was personable on the phone as well as face to face. He represented me at county and city hearings. The county dismissed my case and the city hearing had a favorable outcome. Neither of these results would have been possible without Avi's help. I highly recommend him.

Whether it be a criminal case or traffic case (remember-your drivers license is vitally important), reach out to him for a consultation.

He will give you the best possible legal advice and if you move towards trial, he will properly prepare for the challenge. He is an excellent lawyer from a family of lawyers. Choosing a good attorney for a legal matter, is just as important as choosing a good doctor for a medical problem. Highly recommended!

After the initial consult we realized our old documents were completely inadequate, and decided to revoke the old trust and have Margaret develop a new suite of documents to replace them (new living trust, power of attorney, will, etc).
