I hired Mr. Rivlin to assist with updating my will and establishing a living trust after a significant life event. His knowledge of New York trusts and estates law is evident, and his 13 years of experience provided a solid foundation for the work. The documents he drafted were thorough and professionally executed. However, the process felt somewhat impersonal. Response times to emails were occasionally slower than expected, sometimes taking several business days, which added a bit of anxiety during time-sensitive decisions. While his recognition in the field is well-deserved for the technical legal work, I felt the client communication aspect was merely adequate. For straightforward estate planning where you are not in a rush, his expertise from Hofstra University and his practice at McDermott Will & Schulte is reliable, but be prepared to follow up proactively.
