Client Testimonials

★★★★★
Brett was extremely kind, patience, efficient, and knowledgeable and answered all my questions thoroughly. He simplified a challenging & complicated process creating a new trust & advance directive. It was a difficult time in my life and Brett helped me draft my trust in a timely manner and adjust his schedule to meet with me. The final document was detailed, clear, and easy to understand. I now have peace of mind knowing everything is taken care of as I intended. His price is also very reasonable. I highly recommend Brett & will definitely use his service in the future.

Brett was patient, pleasant and thorough. He took the time to explain and answer any questions, and made the somewhat morbid process of thinking through one's own death as easy as possible. My plan and trust were fairly straightforward and it took just a 1h phone call and a 1h in person meeting to review and sign everything. Highly recommend, I appreciate the very personalized experience of his small practice.

I am very happy to recommend estate Attorney Brett Goodman. He helped me work through and administer my deceased mother's estate as well as write a new trust for my husband and I.
There were so many problems with my mom's trust (caused by a different attorney's errors), I was grateful that Mr. Goodman was even willing to accept me as a client. Throughout the administration process, Mr. Goodman was calm, reassuring, and extremely professional. He communicated frequently via email about the steps being taken and the correspondence we needed to send to others.
My husband and I valued and appreciated his work so much, once we had finished the work on my mother's trust, we had him redo our trust, too. He listened carefully about what we wanted. Once the trust was completed, he explained the new documents in detail. It was very reassuring to work with an attorney with whom we had complete trust and confidence, and we are very happy to recommend him.
