We recently updated our estate documents with Laury Macauley, Esq. We have had trusts for over four decades and have worked with a number of attorneys over the years. After moving to Reno Nevada, a community property state, we needed an update. We contacted a number of estate attorneys. Almost all had 60+ page boiler plate trust templates into which they inserted relevant individualized information but most of these bloated documents had information that does not and never will be relevant to us. Such large trusts are cumbersome and inefficient since during settlement, parties must read everything to be sure something important is not missed. We wanted a more personalized straightforward trust which eliminated all the bloat, unnecessary legal jargon, generation skipping wording, minor dependents, dependent trusts, etc. etc. Laury agreed to work with us to accomplish what we wanted…estate documents relevant to our situation written in a straightforward manner. In the end our very comprehensive trust is 22 pages long. We found her to be bright, helpful, knowledgeable and ethical. She was among a very few lawyers willing to help us create what WE wanted rather than something off the shelf. This took extra time so the process did extend over 2 months but we are extremely pleased. We would definitely recommend Ms. Macauley without reservation to others.

I have nothing but glowing results for using this law firm on multiple occasions. Not only is Gloria well qualified and insightful she is backed up by excepting support personnel. In my most recent experience, I received results because of her advice far better than I hoped to achieve.

Macauley law group is the best for estate planning . Laury Macauley set up our family trust . What a blessing to have peace of mind!!

Laury is amazing to work with! I needed a legal document created for the business. She made the process easy and addressed all my needs. We are looking forward to working with her again on a trust! I highly recommend Macauley Law Group!

Gloria helped me through a cantankerous and lengthy divorce never losing sight of my best interests. Then she helped me with estate planning as well. She is punctual, detail-oriented, and has a keen sense on how to work with the opposing attorney and their client. I felt, under the circumstances, that I chose an attorney that was an asset to have on my side. An addendum to the above is that the team in her office are professional and personable and working with them was also an excellent experience.

I went into this divorce as the sitting duck. I had a lot to lose. I was the woman that worked hard her entire life and had a man that wanted to take it all. Not only did Gloria minimize the damage, she got me through this ordeal a stronger woman. Not only an attorney but a mentor. I had an an attorney prior to her and had to let him go as I didn't feel he was fighting for me. Gloria was in my side and took on the lawyer that "fights for men." I couldn't thank her enough for helping me keep as much of my hard work and earnings as legally possible and being a rock through this difficult ordeal. Thank you, Gloria.

I always feel comfortable with everyone in the office and can trust that they will answer my questions with easy to understand explanations. Ms. Petroni is always personable and professional and I would definitely use her services again.

Gloria and her staff has been very helpful and informative with the professional services I have needed. I have always been able to know that they are working in my best interest to maintain the goals I have set with Gloria's assistance. I would highly recommend Gloria M. Petroni to anyone in the Reno Area.

Gloria Petroni is a marvelous, intuitive and hard working Attorney. Even though our case is not yet resolved, I have every confidence in both her knowledge and her energy to see this case through. Her approach is totally objective and at the same time looking to help my case as an individual. I would recommend her without hesitation.

Our initial meeting with Gloria was extremely useful since I had never been involved in settling an estate. She was professional, very informative, and gave me a great deal of confidence in going forward to resolve all of the many factors required in settling the estate. Gloria has a proficient staff that assisted me through the myriad of legal requirements.

Gloria Petroni represented me in a divorce case in which my then-husband was harassing and threatening me, as well as dragging the case out in court. I had been represented by a local non-profit legal center, but when they lost their grant funding, I sought out Gloria, since a decade earlier, I had hired her in a different matter. Gloria was not only extremely knowledgeable in all areas of divorce/custody and related matters, but she was able to make the transition to the ongoing case swiftly. Moreover, she wrote interrogatories that were to-the-point and, ultimately, were key in the judge's decision in my favor. In addition, her knowledge of judges and courtroom decorum is second to none, owing to her lengthy experience. I highly recommend her without hesitation.

Gloria represented me in a child custody case. She did an incredible job and I had do do basically nothing. I got everything I was looking for with her "aggresive" style. I would recommend her to anyone.
