Client Testimonials

Diedre Braverman provided outstanding estate planning services to my family. Diedre maintains exceptional knowledge of estate tax law, explains the law in comprehensible terms, and composes efficient structures and planning documentation relevant to clients’ specific needs. She immediately distinguished herself, technically, during our early discussions. Diedre’s deep compassion for others, however, particularly differentiates her from many fine elder law attorneys I have known during my professional career. This is consistently evidenced in her communications with clients, treatment of staff, and focus of Braverman Law Firm volunteer and prof-bono activities. My wife and I thoroughly enjoy working with Diedre and her staff and highly recommend them for addressing your important, immediate and ongoing estate planning needs.

We live in Texas but have a summer cabin in Colorado. We needed to have our Colorado property warranty deed transferred to our Trust. Everything was conducted by email and went smoothly. I also like the fact that we were charged a flat rate and we weren’t charged extra for every question or email! Melanie was a joy to work with. She added a personal touch and I felt like I knew her. I wholeheartedly recommend Braverman!

In Looking Back, We Have No Idea Why It Took Us Three Years to Ask Bennett to Work with Us

Please allow this to serve as our unqualified recommendation on behalf of Bennett Braverman.

When our financial advisor moved out of the country and left us high and dry we weren’t sure what we were going to do. We attended a seminar back in the fall of 2004 hosted by a Boulder based financial advisor and Bennett Braverman. We are ecstatic with the job our financial advisor has done for us. We were losing a lot of money and now all of our accounts are making money and are protected.

At the time of the seminar we had our estate planning in place. Or at least we thought we did. We had worked with a local attorney back in the late 80s and pretty much figured we were taken care of. Boy were we mistaken.

We finally decided to start working with Bennett in the fall of 2007, three years after we first met him! After many, many conversations with our financial advisor, we were just starting to feel like maybe the estate plan we had was not the best plan we “could” have. While our planning needs are not terribly complicated, there are some very specific things we need to make sure will happen and happen the exact way we want.

Bennett has done an absolutely wonderful job for us. He takes the time to listen to us, asks all the important questions and unlike our previous attorney, we have no question in our minds that Bennett always wants what’s best for us. No question whatsoever. And this past spring when we welcomed a new granddaughter into our lives, we called Bennett and sat down with him to make a few changes and updates to our plan.

In looking back, we have no idea why it took us three years to ask Bennett to work with us. But, now that we have the estate plan we have, we know it’s one of the best decisions we’ve ever made.

The Plan Bennett Designed Met My Expectations Very Well. I Feel Secure

The plan Bennett designed met my expectations very well. I feel secure. One of the most valuable things for me, working with Bennett, is his handling of a lot of difficult issues, estate planning, death issues etc. But once it’s all completed you have the feeling that you have an advocate.

Bennett has a good sense of humor and he made the copious amounts of information understandable. I trust Bennett and I thought he was very thorough and respectful of the complexities of our particular family situation!

When you work with Bennett, it will be a positive experience…

Braverman Law Group took care of me. They helped me understand my options for planning for my son’s future, which has given me an invaluable sense of peace and assurance. Melanie, the office admin, was extremely professional and kind. She was flexible with me when I had to reschedule due to medical issues, and always treated me respectfully. I always received a prompt response to my queries. I would highly recommend Braverman.

It has been such an absolute gift working with Diedre, Bennett, Melanie and the Braverman Law Group. The level of knowledge and insight they all have, made the entire process of Estate Planning seamless for my entire family.

– Heidi J.

The attorney that prepared my mother’s living trust retired and passed her paperwork over to the Braverman Law Firm. After my mom passed I had a multitude of questions and gave them a call. Melanie was skilled at asking me the right questions so she could pass on what I wanted to the attorneys. Everyone was helpful and patient with my seemingly endless questions. They are top notch professionals!

– Linda R.

Diedre and her staff were professional, incredibly efficient and competent. I was able to get my advance directives and will done expeditiously. I can rest assured that should I need any legal assistance Diedre and her staff will respond. As a medical professional I would highly recommend Braverman Law Group.

Bennett Braverman truly redeems the reputation lawyers have. Bennett Braverman gives lawyers a good name. Professionally, is excellent, kind, efficient, knowledgable, and has beautiful values as a man. He is truly a brilliant and decent human being.

– Linda L.

I can’t say enough good about Braverman. As I was working through the many issues with my moms estate, before and after she passed, as well as my step fathers estate, I truly appreciated their great counsel and help that gave confidence in managing my parents wishes. Even during the pandemic, Melanie and Dylan were right there helping me navigate through the many issues. As I was out-of-state, having their local knowledge and understanding of Colorado law was fantastic. Braverman is my go to team!

Bennett Has Such a Pleasant, Warm, Eager to Please Personality, and is Sincerely One of the Nicest People I’ve Met

Bennett has such a pleasant, warm, eager to please personality, and is sincerely one of the nicest people I’ve met. He’s intelligent and seems to know his business. I consider him a friend now.

I felt very confident that I made the right selection in choosing Bennett. He’s very knowledgeable and he takes the time to discuss and describe items in the plan which was very helpful.

Bennett is so considerate and really gave me the feeling that he wanted to do what was best for my estate situation. He tries very hard to help one through the legal process of estate planning.

I trust Bennett and would more than willingly refer him to anyone I know who might need his services.

I loved working with Diedre and Melanie! They are extremely professional and kind. They took the time to help me understand every step of the way! They are so smart in figuring out ways to customize my Living Trust and personalize it just for my needs. Highly recommended!

– Abbey V.

Diedre Braverman was a pleasure to work with. She took all the legal mumbo-jumbo of a trust and will and explained what I did not understand. The office run by Melanie, is always ready with whatever your expecting to see or pick up and they are really organized. It was a pleasure to work with both of them!

– Pete N.

When my husband died, I felt I needed to honor him for his children and friends. Working through the plans was healthy because I’ve been a planner professionally. My daughter is not a planner and I know she would not find those endless tasks therapeutic like I did. So I’ve created a very specific estate plan with Diedre Braverman’s counsel, detailed guidance, and support. Now I feel relief knowing that my death will not derail my daughter’s life.

– Barbara Joan Martin

The time and energy Bennett spent briefing the beneficiaries of our plan – helping them to know what to expect and what their duties and responsibilities would be – was invaluable. I trust Bennett and feel his depth of knowledge will allow him to serve a wide range of client needs. The ramifications of each decision were fully explained and his adaptation to our family’s needs was exceptional.

We Considered Several Other Attorneys but We Chose Bennett

We considered several other attorneys but we chose Bennett because a friend gave us a great referral and said she highly recommended Bennett. We now understand why.

Bennett was very thorough & easy to understand. He explained Wills vs. Living Revocable Trust, etc. and made it simple & easy to follow and make decisions. (I like the pictures he drew to make it easier to understand).

The entire process worked perfectly for us. It’s fairly quick and painless and the one, all-inclusive price is simpler than an hourly price (even though it may have been more) – I feel like it was worth it.

We trust Bennett and feel confident that he knows the law inside & out and knows what he is doing. We enjoyed working with Bennett and highly recommend him to others.

Bennett and his associates have helped us with our estate planning. They have done an excellent job, especially in responding when we needed to make changes.

Thank You for Your Professionalism

We spoke a couple of months ago when I referred you a client that I had been working with. My friend just called me last week to let me know that his Mom ended up working with you as you made such an impression on them. It really made me feel great to get that call and know that you have taken care of some wonderful people.

I will be in Boulder next week and if you have time I would very much like to meet you in person. Thank you for your professionalism, caring and expertise.

She Exceeded Our Timing Expectations

You Will Find That Bennett is Sincere in Wanting to Work in His Client’s Best Interest

You will find that Bennett is sincere in wanting to work in his client’s best interest and he will work untiringly to meet his client’s expectations.

In our case, the time spent educating us rather than delivering a rote presentation of this is the way it is going to be was much appreciated.

I trust Bennett and feel his depth of knowledge will allow him to serve a wide range of client needs. The ramifications of each decision were fully explained and his adaptation to our family’s needs was exceptional.
