"Our longtime family lawyer stopped practicing and we needed to find a replacement quickly. David was recommended to us by a family member, so we took a chance and just went with him without doing any "shopping". During our first meeting, David immediately made us feel comfortable and cared for. His personalized approach makes a very sad and confusing process a lot more manageable.  When it came time to execute the estate Gabby provided thorough, by the book guidance on my father's estate. Not only did I find both David and Gabby to be confident, knowledgeable, organized and punctual, they were also personable and supportive. I highly recommend David Birnbaum for estate planning with a personal touch."
