Irene helped us with the joint purchase of two adjoining co-op apartments in Brooklyn recently for us and our son. We chose her based on our internet search for real estate lawyers in the area, as all her reviews were uniformly excellent. And we wholeheartedly concur. Beyond just being super-efficient throughout in helping us navigate clunky big bank loan department bureaucracies and paperwork, she went out of her way to calmly help us with our own last minute fund transfer emergencies on the closing date itself to ensure a smooth process. We would absolutely go to her for future needs and recommend her in the strongest of terms.

Irene was incredible to work with! As first time home buyers there was a lot going on. Irene made it all as seamless as possible for us, and at a great value. I felt comfortable having her on our side from the beginning all the way to close as she is very transparent and on top of things. She is also super responsive and easily accessible for any questions or issues that arise. I would recommend her for any legal services she offers, you will not be disappointed!
Because of her we now own a new home and very grateful for all the work she did to get us there.

As a first time home buyer, the process of purchasing a coop was daunting and stressful. We encountered many different obstacles throughout the process, but Irene was there to help guide us the entire way with her expertise and impeccable communication. In the months long process, there was never a phone call or email that went unanswered. If you are in need of a real estate attorney, I truly cannot recommend The Stein Law Firm enough! Thank you Irene and team!

Nobody asked me to write this review. I needed to consult with Counsel Irina Yadgarova and she was by far the most well-informed attorney whose generosity of spirit and transparency was notable. Unlike other attorneys, she volunteered beneficial knowledge given her integrity and honesty. She was the one professional I felt most comfortable with as clients may not know what questions to ask to solicit the hopefully intelligent and comprehensive answers. Further, she is never arrogant or condescending even though she embraces the intricacies of the law while knowing exactly how to convey and translate the theoretically complex into practical implementation. She makes you know you are part of the decision-making process and thus creates economy of effort in the team and solution-building endeavor.

Joseph represented my nephew Ronnie recently and was extremely dedicated and professional. His presented the case with such care and precision, the jury only needed 30 mins to find my nephew not guilty and this was after a hung jury in a previous trial. I would recommend him to represent anyone seeking justice and truth.

My sister and I recently had the pleasure of consulting with Mr. Steven Fleischer regarding Medicaid planning for my mother. Our situation has been difficult, omplex, and at times contentious. Speaking with Mr. Fleischer brought much-needed insight, reassurance and knowledge to a tough situation. Although we ultimately decided to go with an attorney who we know through a family acquaintance, I felt compelled to share my exceptional experience with Mr. Fleischer.
From the moment we spoke on the phone, it was clear that Mr. Fleischer was not only highly knowledgeable but also incredibly kind and compassionate. He took the time to thoroughly understand our situation, review our documents and circumstances in detail, and provided us with comprehensive, easy-to-understand advice that made a daunting process feel manageable.
What truly stood out was Mr. Fleischer's genuine concern for our best interests and the best interests of our mother. He patiently answered all of our questions, ensuring we felt comfortable and informed every step of the way. His thorough knowledge and extensive expertise in elder law was evident, and his guidance was invaluable.
Even though we chose to go with someone we knew personally, I have no doubt that Mr. Fleischer would have been an outstanding advocate for us. He embodies everything you could hope for in an elder attorney: professionalism, empathy, and a dedication to his clients' well-being.
I would highly recommend Mr. Fleischer to anyone in need of elder law services. Thank you Mr. Fleischer for your time and exceptional help.

We’ve known Pinni and have been his clients since 2016, and he has never, ever, not once, disappointed us,
We wanted to put our Mother's house on the market for sale, so we chose, Pinni Bohm, he handled the roles of Real Estate Broker, Trust Administrator, Closing Attorney,
Extremely knowledgeable, he knows the law, and how the courts work, and ultimately what could have been a very difficult experience was a success due to Pinni Bohm's professionalism, knowledge, expertise and perseverance,
Thank you, Pinni, for making it happen, and for always steering us toward the goal and always reminding us of the big picture.
Pinni Bohm’s contribution to our family’s interests was massive, I couldn’t think of anyone we’d rather have representing us, he is that effective and more,

Mr. Hamilton and Mr. Clarke represented my daughter here in Little Rock, Arkansas.
As if coming from New York to Little Rock,Arkansas wasn’t pure dedication, so was their dedication to my daughter’s Federal case and our family. Their passion and dedication in defending my daughter’s rights was way more than I imagined or expected because they were committed to her case. They picked apart every detail of her case and examined it as if she was their family member being represented.
Their communication with us was amazing. My daughter and my family were kept abreast at every turn of this case. My daughter is now home with her daughter. She was released after court on the same day.
Exceptional workmanship by Mr. Hamilton and Mr. Clarke. We will never forget how they made us feel. We were treated with respect. We will be forever grateful!!

JulieAnn has done two things for us (so far). First, she helped decipher some trust documents that had us baffled when we needed to make a quick decision. She was patient and thorough and a big help there. Second, she helped us prepare our estate planning docs, a task which we had been putting off for years. Those were relatively straightforward, but she did a nice job making sure we understood our choices and helping us finally get that done.

Putting together one's estate planning documents has potential to be stressful. It requires one to make important, sometimes difficult, decisions and to think about "what ifs" you don't want to think about. It is hard to overstate how important it is to have sound professional advice - clearly stated, and how a friendly, supportive atmosphere can ease the anxiety and facilitate the process. Julie and her staff provided all that and more. We were able to complete the forms efficiently which kept the cost reasonable as well. I am very pleased.

I first met Julianne at a workshop where she was talking to the group about estate planning and how to help your loved ones handle their finances, etc., in their elder years. When it came time to settle my father's estate, years later, she was the first one I thought of and she made the difficult process as seamless as it could have been. So, of course, when it was time to get all of my affairs in order, she is the first person I thought of. I highly recommend her.

What a Trusts Lawyer Can Do for You
A trusts lawyer specializes in creating and managing trusts, which are legal entities that allow individuals to transfer assets to beneficiaries while maintaining control over how and when those assets are distributed. Trusts are used for estate planning, asset protection, tax planning, and ensuring the financial security of loved ones. Trusts lawyers help clients choose the right type of trust for their needs, draft trust documents, and advise on the administration and management of trusts.
Whether you're planning to pass on your assets to your heirs, protect your wealth from creditors, or provide for a disabled family member, a trusts lawyer can help you establish a trust that meets your financial and personal goals.
When Should I Hire a Trusts Lawyer?
You should consider hiring a trusts lawyer in various situations, particularly when you're planning for the future distribution of your assets or protecting your wealth. Common reasons to hire a trusts lawyer include:
- Estate planning: If you want to ensure that your assets are distributed according to your wishes, a lawyer can help you create a revocable or irrevocable trust to avoid probate and provide for your heirs.
- Asset protection: If you want to protect your assets from creditors, lawsuits, or potential future liabilities, a lawyer can help you establish a trust to shield your wealth.
- Special needs planning: If you have a disabled family member, a lawyer can create a special needs trust to provide for their care without affecting their eligibility for government benefits.
- Tax planning: If you're looking to minimize estate taxes or manage tax liabilities, a lawyer can help you create tax-advantageous trusts, such as a credit shelter trust or charitable remainder trust.
- Charitable giving: If you want to leave a legacy through charitable donations, a lawyer can help you set up a charitable trust to ensure your donations are managed according to your wishes.
- Business succession planning: If you own a business and want to ensure a smooth transition of ownership, a lawyer can help you establish a trust to pass the business on to your heirs or chosen successors.
Hiring a trusts lawyer early in the estate planning process ensures that your assets are protected and your wishes are clearly documented, reducing the chances of disputes after your death.
What Does a Trusts Lawyer Do?
A trusts lawyer provides a variety of legal services to help individuals create, manage, and administer trusts. Their responsibilities often include:
- Drafting trust documents: Preparing the legal documents needed to create the trust, ensuring it is tailored to your specific goals and complies with state and federal laws.
- Choosing the right type of trust: Assisting clients in selecting the most appropriate type of trust for their needs, whether it's a revocable trust, irrevocable trust, living trust, or special needs trust.
- Trust administration: Guiding trustees through their legal responsibilities, including managing assets, making distributions to beneficiaries, and filing tax returns.
- Modifying or terminating trusts: Helping modify or terminate trusts if circumstances change, such as changes in tax laws, family situations, or personal preferences.
- Protecting beneficiaries' interests: Structuring trusts to protect the interests of beneficiaries, especially if there are concerns about financial management, disability, or dependency issues.
- Minimizing estate taxes: Assisting clients in structuring their trusts to minimize or avoid estate taxes, ensuring more of the estate passes to beneficiaries.
- Handling disputes: Mediating or representing clients in court if disputes arise among beneficiaries or between trustees and beneficiaries.
How Are Trusts Lawyers Paid?
Trusts lawyers typically charge for their services based on the complexity of the trust and the type of legal work involved. Common payment methods include:
- Flat fee: For drafting basic trusts, such as revocable living trusts or special needs trusts, many lawyers charge a flat fee. This can range from $1,000 to $5,000 or more, depending on the complexity of the trust.
- Hourly rate: For more complex trust planning, ongoing trust administration, or resolving disputes, some lawyers charge by the hour. Hourly rates typically range from $150 to $500 or more, depending on the lawyer’s experience and location.
- Retainer: For long-term trust administration or complex estate planning cases, some lawyers may require a retainer, an upfront payment that covers ongoing services.
- Contingency fee (rare): In rare cases, particularly in disputes involving the administration of a trust, lawyers may work on a contingency fee basis, getting paid only if they successfully recover funds or resolve a legal dispute in your favor.
Always discuss the fee structure with your lawyer during the initial consultation to understand the total cost of services.
How Much Does a Trusts Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring a trusts lawyer depends on the complexity of the trust, the lawyer’s experience, and the fee structure. General cost estimates include:
- Basic trust creation: For simple trusts, such as revocable living trusts, fees may range from $1,000 to $3,000.
- Complex trust creation: For sophisticated estate plans involving multiple trusts, tax planning strategies, or special needs considerations, legal fees may range from $5,000 to $10,000 or more.
- Trust administration: If you are serving as a trustee and need ongoing legal advice, hourly rates for trust administration can range from $150 to $500 or more.
- Dispute resolution: Costs for litigation or mediation in trust disputes may range from $5,000 to $50,000 or more, depending on the complexity of the case.
Be sure to get a detailed cost estimate from your lawyer during the consultation to ensure the services fit within your budget.

If ongoing management is required, inquire whether the lawyer will assist with trust administration or if you'll need a separate trustee. -

- Check for certifications: Look for certifications such as Certified Estate Planning Law Specialist (EPLS) or memberships in organizations like the American Academy of Estate Planning Attorneys (AAEPA).
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To make the most of your first consultation with a trusts lawyer, bring the following:
- List of assets: Prepare a list of all your assets, including real estate, bank accounts, investments, retirement accounts, and personal property.
- List of beneficiaries: Provide names and contact information of individuals or organizations you want to name as beneficiaries.
- Existing estate planning documents: Bring copies of any existing wills, trusts, or other estate planning documents.
- Financial information: Bring financial statements, tax returns, and other relevant financial documentation.
- Questions for the lawyer: Prepare a list of questions about the trust creation process, fees, and how the trust will protect your assets and beneficiaries.
- Goals for the trust: Clearly outline your objectives, such as asset protection, tax minimization, or provisions for beneficiaries, so the lawyer can tailor the trust to your needs.
By preparing thoroughly for your consultation, you can help the lawyer assess your situation effectively and receive the best possible legal advice for creating and managing your trust.
