Samuel Sayward & Baler LLC

My spouse and I had the most positive experience working with Attorney Leah Kofos and her team for estate planning! We greatly appreciated the kindness, professionalism, communication, and incredibly helpful, real-world advice we received. We had been putting off estate planning because it seemed scary and intimidating, but Leah and her team made it anything but. Whole-heartedly, 10/10 recommend! Thank you, Leah!

Maria Baler and staff provided our family with legal advice, estate planning, tax expertise, and more. The stress and difficulties we faced on our end were met with grace, understanding, and most importantly practical, detailed, nuanced, and proactive guidance. Our trust in Maria was key when we were working on our legacy and personal issues. We are grateful for the peace of mind and confidence we have gained. Thanks to all who were part of this journey. And for the candy too!

I feel very lucky that Samuel Sayward & Baler LLC was recommended to me by a friend of a friend of a friend. And I feel very fortunate that I ended up working with Leah Kofos as my estate planning attorney. First, she was very clear in guiding me through the legal options and laying out the pros and cons of different choices. Then she was clear about the process and timeline for the next steps. And then best(?) of all she provided a checklist of all the steps I needed to take to follow up on my side. Having recently worked with an attorney in another state for parents estate where these things did not happen made me appreciate everything she did even more.

My wife and I worked with Attorney Baler a couple years ago on our estate plan. Recently we added a revocable trust to avoid probate and related expenses when the time comes. Although it is not pleasant to consider the inevitable, Attorney Baler made it much easier by her insightful questions and clear explanations. We are certain that she has our best interest in mind, and that the estate plan we adopted are the best fit for our circumstances. Our children are very grateful that we have planned well, and that they will have clear guidance and support when the need arises. I highly recommend Samuel Sayward & Baler.

During an initial one hour session with Suzanne Sayward, she clarified my situation in the latter years of my life. I am 76 yo and in good health. Specifically, she spelled out how care should be delivered and at what (projected) cost. Her clear-eyed thinking was, by itself, worth "the price of admission"-which is reasonable. She efficiently disabused me of vague notions I had regarding late-in-life care. Suzanne's is deeply experienced and a pleasure to consult. I am looking forward to working with her!
