Two primary methods of disposing of one's estate are by a will or by a revocable living trust. Many people today choose the revocable living trust. There are several advantages to having a trust. One is that a trust avoids the time and expense of a court supervised probate proceeding. Many people find this.

I found attorney Pavlakos a couple years ago via google reviews. Her office is in my city and close to work and home so I decided to consult with her on a very stressful matter I was dealing with. She was so calming and assured me that she would do the best she could to handle my case and that’s exactly what she did. At the close of the case she wrote me the most warm and personal letter thanking me for trusting her with my case and wishing me the best going forward. It wasn’t the regular form letter, it was personal, from her heart. Months later I ran into her at a restaurant and told her

I give Attorney Pavlakos the highest recommendation a person can give.
Attorney Pavlakos continues to be the best attorney that any client can expect to have. She is at the pinnacle amongst her peers in the field of law.
The staff at this law firm of Nina & Ely are also a powerhouse. Their compassion and empathy for your case is untouchable. Every day that they are working on my case, they exceed my expectations.
Attorney Pavlakos's strongest trait is her ability to anticipate challenges in the case. Those challenges were then turned into strategies to win or get the best possible result.
Thank

Mandy Pavlakos was a beacon of hope to my family at a time when we were told by another Attorney our options appeared limited and the likelihood of a satisfactory resolution seemed nigh on impossible. Not only was she able to defend us from an unjust accusation, her calm and empathetic demeanor offered emotional succor to myself and those I care about most. My children and I are eternally grateful for her and her amazing team service and I hereby recommend Ms.Mandy without reservation.

Mandy and her team were recommended to me by a real estate investor friend who has been working with her on multiple cases for many years and he wouldn't stop bragging about her and her team. So I decided to go with her. One of the best decisions I've ever made!!
I am giving Mandy and all her associates five stars only because they won't let me give them 10!! I rarely write reviews but I really had to for Mandy and her amazing team. Because of so many sides being involved and complicated procedures, real estate matters can be quite frustrating and confusing even for real estate professionals.
