This was easily the strangest initial call that I have ever had with an attorney - so much so, that it prompted my first ever review.

I called to try to establish a relationship with a Florida attorney to help settle the estate of my brother, who owned some land there. I tried to ask some initial questions like "where do I begin...". I was quickly shut down and told that they do not offer free legal advice and that I would need to pay $385 per hour if I wanted to discuss anything with them.

I can tell you that I am definitely NOT looking for free legal advice. I am, however, looking to establish a relationship with an attorney during a difficult time. I just wanted to learn what my first steps should be with the full expectation of hiring a competent attorney to help lead the way.

I have never come across an attorney that wanted to charge me to simply have an initial conversation. I cannot speak to much to the overall competency of Ms. Pizzolato. But, I can say this... bring your wallet.

When you work with Barbara M. Pizzolotto, you are treated as family. You are just not another client. You'll spend a little more, but you'll be well looked after. We're thankful to have her firm in our corner. God bless people like her.

Learned a lot about Florida estate law that we didn't know coming from Indiana.Very satisfied with the experience.Great value for the service.

My wife, Kim, and I were completely satisfied with Barbara Pizzolato's re-write of our Living Trust document that was originated under Maryland law and moved with us to Florida law upon our retirement. Barbara Pizzolato's dual state experience and attention to detail in preparing all our needed Estate Documents was very reassuring to us. We also appreciate the continuing support provided by her Estate Plan Maintenance Program.

Barbara has been very helpful and professional establishing our Financial Trusts and Wills upon establishing residency in Florida and providing biannual reviews. Her breadth of knowledge and experience is impressive and we feel we are in good hands!

Barbara M. Pizzolato, P.A. provides greatly appreciated advise concerning our estate planing over the course of the last few years.
Keep on doing the super good job.
Thanks A & M

Excellent advice from Barbara Pizzolato, I recommend Barbara to all my friends. Her continued contact to insure my well being and passing on new information is paramount. I wouldn’t continue to use her firm if I wasn't sureI was getting the best outcome for me.

A totally outstanding experience for us. Barbara and her staff is committed to excellence in every possible way. Their expertise and professionalism...coupled with their warm manner of communicating, made our legal work together very pleasant.
We would highly recommend Barbara Pizzolato ... and are looking forward to a long and successful relationship.

Barbara is knowledgeable and thorough. She works to understand how you want your estate and trust managed and then ensures that you will receive the desired outcome. Follow up and ongoing help are outstanding. We had previously worked with another attorney and now know that we did not have the estate plans and documents that we needed.

My spouse and I found both Barbara and her staff to be very professional and knowledgeable about matters relating to our account. On numerous instances, I have recommended her to friends and acquaintances.

We first attended Barbara’s group presentation and realized that we needed to set up a trust in order to protect our assets and know that we were ready for future changes.
Our next step was to meet with Barbara to review our next steps. This meeting was packed with information essential to our assembling of needed documents. Barbara was very focused and guided us through this with patience and understanding
This meeting gave us direction and guidance in making major decisions as we moved forward with our family trust. We felt well informed, understood and prepared for assembling all elements of our trust. Now we have our trust, our assets are protected, and all of our important documents are organized. We also appreciate knowing that as we make changes with our assets we can meet with Barbara as well as members of her staff as needed. We recommend this service for all who want to protect their hard earned assets.

Barbara is very professional . Barbara and her staff are very professional and friendly. I would recommend them to my friends and family.

Personable, professional legal services.

Barbara Pizzolato has been our primary attorney for the past five years. She has provided excellent services pertaining to wills and trusts. I highly recommend her to you.

Barbara is extremely knowledgeable and informative. She is my idol, I would not hesitate to trust her with my retirement planning.

My husband and I were looking for help in starting the daunting process of estate planning. After having gone to neumerous meetings and not finding the answers to some of our questions we happened to attend one of Barbara's seminars and within ten minutes of her presentation I told my husband that I felt I could work with her. She just presented her message so straight forward and clearly that we left the meeting with an appointment with her to start the "the journey" and it is a journey that she guides you through so that you are never left wondering if all the bases were covered.

I highly recommend her to anyone that is sitting on the fence knowing that you should start doing something about what you would like to happen after you are gone. The peace of mind alone is worth checking her out.

She made our estate planning as easy as something like that can be. None of us likes to think about our passing so it is easier to just not do anything and hope it will all work out. Sorry to say, it doesn't work that way.

As you can tell, I like her and her staff is top notch, but more than anything I trust her and that is something you want and need in an attorney.

Barbara Pizzolato is a consummate professional and has handled many issues for me and my family. Her office staff is terrific and they really care for their clients. I highly recommend them!

Barbara is able to answer all of my questions regarding trusts. I really appreciate all of her help.

Barbara M. Pizzolato, P.A. is very professional, competent, and caring. She is able to deal with complex family matters in a professional manner. It has been a pleasure to work with Barbara and her team.

Very fast and efficient process to update your legal papers for Florida domicile as well as a complete review of your wealth estate options on establishing the right trust documents for your family.

Pleasure to deal with Barbara & her staff. Very approachable & respectful to us as clients. Her Naples office also convenient.

Barbara was Great... we trusted her guidance and advice... she made sure all we wanted to have in wills and the family trust was included... respected our opinions and took our family situations in hand... gave us many alternatives to consider... heir and tax issues were handled to give the best possible outcomes... she cares and will definitely be our consigliare.
