Over 20 years ago I coordinated the estate planning for my parents (and myself), using different counsel (not Ettinger). We have since revisited and updated the plans a number of times... wills, trusts, health care proxy, living will, power of attorney, QPRT, LTC insurance, etc... Over the years, many other firms tried to 'win our business'... some I met with. In those cases, it generally became apparent that 'I am buttoned-up' - super smart - got it all covered. Really what that meant was that I was not 'low hanging fruit' to the attorney that was trying to pitch me. So they shook my hand, said good job, and we all moved on... then a few months ago my parents (now 75) met Michael Ettinger at a seminar and they liked him. The suggested I meet him. I thought, "Ok, here we go again..." So we walk in and sit down... and in minutes Michael is pointing out multiple valid points that others had not made and which I had not considered... I won't go into the specifics here, but I then went back and did some homework (because I didn't want to just assume what I was being told was accurate). Net Net is that Michael's points held up. I looked at some tax code, googled around a bit, spoke to my CPA... Michael's recommendations made sense... so not only did I redo my parents estate documents with Ettinger, I also redid my own... and I recommended them to others. It was also refreshing that they use a pretty clear rate card with fixed fees per document. The fees were fair and not having to be nickel and dimed for an extra phone call or to be billed back for photocopies or USPS mailing costs... priceless... This is the first online review I've written because I normally just don't have the time... so why did I write this one? Because Michael and team did a great job. Exceeded my expectations. Saved us a ton of $$ in the long run... so what are you waiting for? Give them a call!

My life had changed and became difficult after my accidents. Yet Jonathan with all the staff haso helped and continue to do so to make my quality of life better and to ensure that I am correctly compensated. He cares not only as an attorney but also from one human being to another. I give Jonathan a high recommendation and the team!

Mr. Gold is really knowledge in his field and maintained professionalism with me @ all times. HE always takes the time to keep me informed about all developments in my case and always had my best interest @ heart from the beginning to end, and made sure that all settlements were favorable in which he consulted prior to agreement.
