Since this was our first experience with such a project, it was important for us to work with a firm that both understood the legal complexities of the planning and had regularly worked with same-sex couples. Our first consultation with Mr. Antonopolis was a valuable and informative one that made us feel confident about the undertaking. And we very much appreciated his straightforward personal style. We always felt fully supported, understood, and respected. Over the course of gathering the needed information to create our documents, staff members, particularly paralegal Daria Brovenko, were always ready to guide us through the process and provide answers to questions. And at the final signing, we were happy to meet other staff, all of whom made the closing step of our legal journey one that went smoothly and was filled with their warm congratulations. Having these legal protections in place was important for us, and our very positive experience with Antonoplos & Associates played a significant role in providing that peace of mind. We highly recommend their work.

UPDATE: Minutes after posting my review, I received a call from Peter Anotonoplos and he said my…read moreappointment was declined because it was Juneteenth. I reminded him that it was his staff that scheduled the appointment for that day and that I had called 2 days prior inquiring about the status of the appointment and no one once mentioned Juneteenth. I have updated my review from 1 to 3 stars because he offered to have a conversation about my situation and gave me some feedback. As requested, I considered removing my review but since I can see from Yelp reviews that this is not an uncommon type of incident, I am leaving it here for anyone else - like myself - may not have time to wait for the day of the appointment to find out if they can get legal counsel about a potentially urgent matter. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BEWARE of the tentative/pending appointment!! I have a legal plan through work and this firm was provided for me. I called to make an appointment and was told my appointment, for the following week, was tentative and that I would get an email to let me know if the appointment was accepted or not. I asked when I would find out and was told it would likely be in the next 24 hours. I asked what would determine if it was accepted and was told it was usually just a scheduling decision. So when it was just 2 days away from the appointment, I still had not received any response. I called and was told by reception that they would let the attorney know I called. ON THE MORNING OF THE APPOINTMENT, I received an email that my appointment was declined. This is an unacceptable way to do business. My issue was becoming urgent and I didn't expect this kind of treatment.

Misha and team were great! Estate planning can be a delicate topic and working with Misha was a far…read moremore pleasant experience than I've had in the past with other firms. We met three times remotely (initial consult, intake, and document review) and once in person (document signing). Misha was pleasant, knowledgeable, quick to respond, offered ready solutions for our specific needs, and was patient with our questions. At the signing, all of the paperwork was well organized and we were able to knock it out quickly even with 5 of us (me, my husband, two witnesses, and the notary) working through all the pages. Highly recommended!

The personalized service and professionalism made a potentially overwhelming task feel manageable. I highly recommend Misha to anyone in need of trust services! WELL WORTH the reasonable rate.

He's intelligent, hard-working, available when I need him, no-nonsense, and completely capable. I feel fortunate to have found him, as I wouldn't have been able to get through the process without him. His rates are reasonable, and he was a strong negotiator with the landlord. He's thoughtful and hardworking but always made me feel like I was talking to a brilliant friend. We were on the same page, and I valued his advice at every turn. Highly recommend!!! Hopefully, you don't need an attorney to deal with your landlord, but if you do, use Matt Hertz.

I'm very pleased with the services I received from Kith and Kin! From my very first contact, I was…read moreso pleased with the estate planning services they provided. The entire process, which I initially thought would be daunting, was made incredibly smooth and understandable. What truly set them apart was the consistent friendliness and knowledge.

I felt completely confident that I was receiving the most up-to-date and comprehensive advice. If you're looking for an estate planning firm that combines top-tier legal knowledge with incredibly friendly and personalized service, look no further!

I needed a family property deed cleared and was promised by Nakia in early 2019 that it would take somewhere between 3-6 months to complete. It's taken almost 2 full years and countless dollars with explanations as to where it's all going. Her and everyone who works for her lacks, empathy, understanding of law and anything legal, will lie to you and then avoid you like a plague. It took weeks and sometimes months to get a simple answer or response on status. I'm not only disgusted by her and her team but want to ensure no one hires her ever again. Incompetent is an understatement and not even close to describing their work ethic. CON ARTIST LEGAL GROUP!!!!!

He is readily available to provide legal advice and personal insight. What I like best about David, is that he offers a relationship. Like a thoughtful friend, David follows up and checks in keep my estate plan up to date. I could have gone to another attorney but I can't imagine them caring about my situation as much as David and his dedicated team does.  His assistant Maria is also AMAZINGLY sweet.   If you are looking for estate planning in DC and more importantly an attorney who cares, you should definitely have David do your estate plan and take care of you and your family.

After retiring from the federal…read moregovernment, I now have more time to think and focus on estate and financial planning along with long-term care insurance. I felt overwhelmed and was afraid to act on some things, realizing there was so much I didn't know or understand. At the same time, I knew I needed to do something. One day, I saw an offer to attend a free seminar on financial planning hosted by Right Size Law, PLLC. One of my best decisions was to attend the seminar. I quickly realized yes, there was a lot I did not know or understand completely, concerning financial planning, protecting estates and long-term care insurance, but the Right Size, PLLC free seminars helped clarify the key points. David explains the differences between wills, trusts, considerations of planning for (and after) retirement, and alternate methods of funding long term health care. During the seminars, David points out differences between the jurisdictions of DC, Maryland, and Virginia. His information is clear, concise and easily understood. David clarifies his point by using everyday examples and scenarios. These seminars helped me to realize I needed to work on my planning sooner than later. Friends suggested I use an online legal tool such as Will and trust or Legal Zoom but I'm glad I did not. As a client of Right Size, PLLC, I still have questions. David is responsive, patient and enlightening. David and I developed a plan unique to me and my needs. I look forward to working with David and Right Size, PLLC for many years to come. As a matter of fact, I have been so impressed with the services offered by Right Size Law, I refer friends to David.
