My experience with Steven Brumer was excellent. Though I'm not personally in bankruptcy, I'm connected to one, and the situation is quite complicated. I was referred to Steven, thinking I'd need an advocate. He gave me a very good "education" on how the system works, and ideas on how to navigate it. It was that advice that empowered me to begin the process myself - something I would have been afraid to do before - and as it turned out, I was successful on my own. Thank you so much, Steven! If you need an attorney who is expert at his craft as well as an excellent communicator, and undoubtedly an excellent advocate, I can't recommend Steven Brumer highly enough.

I have consulted Steven Brumer on several occasions, concerning sensitive legal family issues. If I could give Steven 10 stars, I would. He is intelligent, kind, experienced and knowledgeable.

Frequently Asked Questions

Still have questions?

Ask An Attorney

If your goal is to leave property and assets for your loved ones when you pass away, then you need to draft an estate plan that includes wills and trusts. Your estate plan will specify which of your family members will inherit your belongings, and can also reduce the amount of taxes your beneficiaries have to pay. Without a comprehensive estate plan in place, your family might encounter major obstacles that will prevent them from obtaining their inheritance and maintaining your legacy.

If you’re worried your family will get into a major argument over your estate after you pass away, then you need to speak to a lawyer about the various estate planning tools you can use to make sure your family members get everything they are entitled to.

Whether you need help planning for retirement or setting aside funds for your children, a seasoned estate planning lawyer can guide you through each step of the legal process. From drafting wills to creating trusts, you want a knowledgeable legal professional on your side who will provide you with top-notch counsel for all estate planning matters.

A will is a legal document that specifies who you want your property to be distributed to when you die.

Your estate will have to go through probate if you don’t have a valid will when you pass away. During the probate process, the state will review all of your assets and property in order to determine how it should be distributed. If you don’t draft a will that covers all of your assets and valuables, then your wishes will not be considered by the state when it’s time to distribute your estate.

A trust allows you to transfer your property to a trustee who holds it and later distributes it to your beneficiaries under the terms of the trust.
