David Okrent is smart, patient, compassionate and trustworthy. My family is lucky to have found him to help with my mom's estate planning. He understands our family's needs and honestly cares that we are okay. I would recommend David to anyone and everyone.
I didn't know anything about eldercare planning and felt very intimidated by it. I took my mother to meet with David for a consultation. He was truly kind, caring, and extremely knowledgeable. He went through everything and made sure we understood what options would best fit our needs. I couldn't ask for a better experience!
"Dave was a tremendous help in navigating the challenges associated with my family's trust and estate planning. Besides his clear tax/law expertise, highly regarded reputation and credentials, it was his professional, yet diplomatic demeanor that was a critical component of helping us solve the challenges we had to work through. What a huge relief to know we have everything in order now and I recommend Dave and his team wholeheartedly!"
