Madeline J. Rivlin

Expert guidance on a complex family trust matter

I engaged Madeline Rivlin at Greenberg Traurig to assist with restructuring a family trust that had become outdated and administratively cumbersome. While her official recognition in Trusts and Estates is recent, her deep knowledge was immediately apparent. She drew upon her decades of legal experience, clearly explaining the nuances of New York law and presenting us with several strategic options we hadn't considered. Her approach was both meticulous and compassionate, understanding the personal nature of these decisions. The final documents were flawlessly prepared, giving our family significant peace of mind. The only slight drawback was that during the initial engagement phase, there were a couple of days where email responses took longer than expected, likely due to her caseload. Overall, Ms. Rivlin provided exceptional, senior-level counsel. I would confidently recommend her for sophisticated estate planning needs.
