I was introduced to Ms. Rutty by a mutual friend while going through an unpleasant divorce and immigration battle. She handled my case with professionalism, stamina and most importantly compassion. I felt like I was a part of her immediate family. I could call her at anytime to discuss my fears and concerns and interestingly enough she gave me suggestions on how I could save money on legal fees too. I was really "wowed" by the service I received. SHE CARES... this is not just a job for her. Needless to say, I won the case. As a result, I call her for all my legal needs and I am never disappointed. I am forever grateful and you will be too!.

i used Mr. Glassman for a very difficult co-op sale and he performed perfectly. The lawyer for the other side was clueless and Mr. Glassman had to lead him through the process. He never lost sight of the goal to get it closed.

I have used Attorney Reginald Asiedu to successfully handle several legal problems in the past 10 years.
When I initially hired him in 2008, I paid him $1500 for a divorce case.
My marriage of many years was falling apart and I was devastated. Attorney Reginald Asiedu was very nice and caring. He gave me support and hope. He made me believe again.
He and his staff always returned my calls, answered my questions and attended to my concerns promptly and courteously.
He was always well prepared, knowledgeable and aggressive in fighting for me.
Through his hard work and expertise, I won substantial assets in my divorce case, including the house my ex-husband and I owned together.
He is always well dressed and very professional. His fees are also very reasonable.
I feel lucky and proud to call Attorney Reginald Asiedu my lawyer.
Over the years, I have referred my family and friends to Attorney Reginald Asiedu,
They have all been very happy with his services and said only nice things about him.
I thank you attorney Reginald Asiedu on behalf of myself, my family and my friends.

During the consultation he was nice and knowledgeable I paid him his fee and we proceeded from there. However, once he received his 1500$ he was no longer that nice and knowledgeable it's as if he was busy and running on 2 hours of sleep. So one day his secretary called me and informed me that my soon to be ex-husband was not served and had relocated I asked his secretary where is the paperwork at? She was unable to answer the question so Reginald some how got on the phone and I asked him the same thing. He responded what are you talking about so I had to get more specific is the paperwork with you or is it still with the sheriff. Reginald answered it's in Pennsylvania. 2nd incident I called to check if the paperwork was delivered to my soon to be ex-husband and his secretary replied I told you it was but you didn't seem to understand me.I replied, okay, I don't do the back and forth and I don't mean to be a female dog about things but I need to understand if he was already served or not. Being that the question was not able to be answered by phone I had to go there personally to get things straight. I got there Reginald claimed I cursed his secretary out and I was acting like a person from the street and went as far to say that the $1500 I spent is nothing and he has people paying him 15k and 20k to retain him. He's the type of person that once he gets his money don't ask him questions or follow up on your case and that to me is bad business . Also, if you are not spending 15k or better your money is not worth much so you will not get the same respect or feedback that a person spending that amount would .

My case was a tough case.
When many saw challenges and impossibilities and said no, this lawyer saw possibilities and solutions and said yes.
There were many road blocks and stop signs along the way, but this lawyer persevered and found a way to get to the next destination.
He never gave up and he gave me wonderful support and hope every step of the way.
Through his wisdom, skill, knowledge and experience, I received a good sum of money from my ex.
This lawyer turned a tough case into a very positive outcome.
Thank you lawyer Reggie Asiedu.
My decision to hire you was one of the best decisions I ever made.

The worst lawyer you can hire. She grabs your money and then takes her time handling your case. Every time I call. It’s the same excuse. She’s busy. She not taking calls at the moment. She will get back to you shortly. Days, Weeks can go by and you don't hear from her. I’m so sick and tired of her. I’m ready to report her to the bar and get this over with. Something must be done.

The lawyer is great friendly and very understanding. But her paralegal that is in the office. She is the worst. Rude nasty and gets back to you when she wants. You have to wait days before she decides to contact you. Get you a lawyer who is going to have people in her office who is willing to work. Otherwise you are
Going to wait forever for a response. Highly upsetting to be dealing with a person like that.!

Ms Walton is one of very few attorneys that you can immediatly trust an feel comfortable with. Her ethics seem to come from her rather than a legal mandate. I feel she put my needs first and her financials second. I highly recomend her.

Handled will, power of attorney and real estate transaction and unfortunately I was disappointed. In retrospect I realize she did not ask questions that would have enabled me (and her) to uncover situations that I/we could have made better decisions on.
While she knows the real estate business, on 3 occasions, she had to call or write to me because she had forgotten something we had already discussed or thought of yet another question.
It was a basic real estate transaction.

What an Estate Planning Lawyer Can Do for You
An estate planning lawyer helps individuals plan for the management and distribution of their assets after death or during incapacitation. Their services involve drafting important legal documents, such as wills, trusts, powers of attorney, and healthcare directives. Estate planning attorneys work to ensure that your assets are transferred according to your wishes, minimize tax liabilities, and avoid probate court. They also help clients plan for potential long-term care needs and protect their estate from being diminished by healthcare costs.
By working with an estate planning lawyer, you can have peace of mind knowing that your loved ones will be cared for and that your estate will be managed efficiently and according to your desires.

- Creating a trust: For those looking to avoid probate or provide for loved ones over time, setting up a trust can help manage the distribution of assets.
- Planning for incapacity: An estate lawyer can help draft powers of attorney and healthcare directives so that your financial and medical decisions are made by someone you trust if you become incapacitated.
- Minimizing estate taxes: If your estate is large, a lawyer can help create strategies to reduce or eliminate federal and state estate taxes.
- Special circumstances: If you have minor children, blended families, or complex assets like businesses, an estate planning lawyer can create tailored solutions.
- Guardianship or conservatorship: If you want to designate guardians for minor children or ensure proper care for incapacitated adults, an attorney can help.
Hiring an estate planning lawyer is especially important if your estate is complex or if you want to ensure that your wishes are properly followed.

- Handle probate and estate administration: If a loved one has passed away, an estate planning lawyer can help guide you through the probate process or act as an executor.
How Are Estate Planning Lawyers Paid?
Estate planning lawyers typically charge for their services in one of several ways, depending on the complexity of your estate and the type of services you need. Common payment structures include:
- Flat fee: Many estate planning services, such as drafting a will or trust, are charged on a flat-fee basis. The fee covers all work related to preparing the document.
- Hourly rate: For more complex planning, such as estate tax strategy or trust administration, lawyers may charge by the hour. Rates vary based on the lawyer’s experience and location.
- Retainer: Some lawyers require a retainer for more complex cases, such as ongoing trust management or estate administration. The retainer is an upfront payment that covers future legal services.
It’s important to discuss fees with your lawyer upfront to avoid unexpected costs.
How Much Does an Estate Planning Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring an estate planning lawyer depends on the complexity of your estate and the services you require. Here are some general guidelines:

Always get a clear estimate of costs during your initial consultation to ensure the services fit within your budget.
Top Questions to Ask an Estate Planning Lawyer
Before hiring an estate planning lawyer, it’s important to ask questions to ensure they are the right fit for your needs. Here are key questions to ask during your consultation:
-
What is your experience with estate planning?
Ensure the lawyer has substantial experience drafting wills, creating trusts, and handling other estate planning services. -
How will you charge for your services?
Clarify whether the lawyer charges a flat fee or by the hour and ask for a detailed estimate of costs. -
What strategies do you recommend for my estate?
A good lawyer should be able to explain the best strategies for minimizing taxes, avoiding probate, and ensuring your assets are distributed according to your wishes. -
How often should I update my estate plan?
Ask how frequently you should revisit your estate plan, especially if your financial situation or family dynamics change. -
Do you offer ongoing support or updates?
Some lawyers provide periodic reviews or updates to ensure your estate plan stays current with changes in your circumstances or the law. -
How will you help my beneficiaries if something happens to me?
Ensure the lawyer is willing to guide your heirs through the estate administration process or help manage your trust after you’re gone.
How to Check the Credibility of an Estate Planning Lawyer
To ensure you’re hiring a credible estate planning lawyer, follow these steps:
- Verify their state bar license: Check with your state bar association to confirm that the lawyer is licensed and in good standing, with no history of disciplinary actions.
- Look for estate planning certifications: Some lawyers are certified as estate planning specialists, which indicates they have extensive knowledge in this area of law.
- Read client reviews and testimonials: Online reviews on sites like Avvo, Google, or Martindale-Hubbell can provide insight into the lawyer’s professionalism and client satisfaction.
- Ask for references: A credible lawyer should be able to provide references from previous clients who can speak to their expertise and client service.
- Check for membership in professional organizations: Lawyers who are members of organizations like the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys (NAELA) or the American College of Trust and Estate Counsel (ACTEC) often have a strong reputation in the field.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To get the most out of your first meeting with an estate planning lawyer, it’s important to come prepared. Here’s what you should bring:
- List of assets and liabilities: Provide a detailed inventory of your assets, including real estate, bank accounts, retirement funds, investments, and personal property, as well as any debts you may have.
- List of beneficiaries: Be ready to discuss who you want to receive your assets and in what proportions. This includes naming guardians for minor children if applicable.
- Existing estate documents: Bring copies of any existing wills, trusts, powers of attorney, or other relevant estate planning documents.
- Questions about your estate goals: Write down your goals, such as avoiding probate, reducing taxes, or setting up charitable donations, so your lawyer can tailor a plan to meet your needs.
- Information on medical and financial decision-makers: Be prepared to discuss who you want to appoint for healthcare and financial decisions if you become incapacitated.
By being well-prepared, you can ensure a productive consultation and begin building a comprehensive estate plan that meets your needs and protects your loved ones.
