Feedback
I highly recommend Laurie G. Steiner. I have been working with her for over 5 years in the areas of Elder Law, Estate Planning, Wills, etc. Due to a situation of a disabled family member, I have needed advice on how to plan the future. I have always found Ms. Steiner to be responsive, easy to talk with, and, most importantly, very knowledgable and up-to-date. A good example is when some laws changed a few years ago, Ms. Steiner contacted me to make me aware of the impending changes and how it might affect my situation. I will continue to rely on her for my legal planning needs.
Lauri is always very helpful and she and her staff are knowledgeable about all aspects of elder law, estate planning and all that goes with it.
Laurie Steiner was very helpful to us in doing elder estate planning for my mother-in-law who has dementia. She helped make what can be an awkward discussion very open and comfortable. She is very knowledgable and up-to-date on the latest laws and is kind and compassionate. After our initial meeting, she provided us with her email address to we could follow up with any additional questions. I highly recommend Laurie Steiner for elder estate & Medicaid planning.
Working with Laurie Steiner as our estate planning attorney has allowed my wife and I to create a well thought out estate plan tailored to our specific needs. After an initial consultation, we explained our objectives and Laurie then made several recommendations regarding how to best proceed. Because of some unique situations, updated wills, financial powers of attorney and a combination of trusts were recommended to meet our objectives. During the weeks that followed, we were provided draft documents, changes were made and final drafts were provided. As questions arose we choose an email exchange to best manage the many questions we had. In each instance Laurie provided prompt and easy to understand answers. My wife and I were very impressed with her knowledge of estate planning and we would highly recommend her as an estate planning attorney.
