Hartford, CT
We came to this law firm to revise our wills and trusts. The amount of expertise is beyond description. The detail and simple explanations made this process easy from the initial meeting with attorney Horowitz to the signing of all the documents with paralegal Anne Johnson. Anne was very knowledgeable and professional. She explained everything and made signing easy. She is a gem!!

I selected Nirenstein Horowitz because of their focus on estate planning and well documented expertise in trusts. They lived up to every expectation. Attorney Brian Karpe and Paralegal Anne Johnson made the process straightforward in a color-by-numbers manner. They were thorough in reviewing all materials with me and answering all my questions, and provided an easy to follow binder with all the final documents. I couldn’t be more pleased- highly recommend.

Today I met with Anne Louise Johnson, a paralegal at Nirenstein & Horowitz. The law firm created my Revocable Trust in 2007 and I was there a few weeks ago to update after several laws changed. The backbone of law firms are the paralegals…unsung heroes, in my world. Anne made a cadre of legal paperwork understandable in layman’s terms. She was so kind and patient….reorganized by paperwork so I, and my children, can access necessary documents when the time comes. Kudos to the staff at Nirenstein &Horowitz, and especially a warm thank you to Anne for her wonderful assistance.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share this thoughtful review! We’re truly grateful for your kind words and for the trust you’ve placed in our firm over the years. Anne will be especially touched to hear how her patience, clarity, and dedication helped make the process feel manageable and organized for you and your family. Our paralegals truly are the backbone of our firm, and we’re so glad Anne was able to provide the guidance and support you deserved during your trust update. It’s always a pleasure working with clients like you, and if you or your children ever need anything in the future, please know we’re always here to help.
Mailed an advertisement addressed to my mother and father after my father has been dead for five and a half years. When I called the number listed, I got a recording saying I was out of their calling area. We live in Putnam, an hour away from Hartford and still in state. Worthless vampires
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are truly sorry for the distress this mailing caused and understand how upsetting it can be to receive mail addressed to a loved one who has passed. Our firm uses third-party mailing services that rely on publicly available records, and while we work to keep our outreach accurate, errors can unfortunately occur. We also apologize for the difficulty you experienced when attempting to call our office, as that is not the experience we strive to provide. If you would be willing, please contact us directly at 860-548-1000 or email info@nhalaw.net so we can promptly remove the address from future mailings and address any phone concerns. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and wish you and your family all the best.
I recommend Nirenstein, Horowitz without reservation for their probate services. After my father's death, as executor I chose to work with the firm because of my father's positive experience with them closing my mother's estate. Their team made the 10-month process as seamless as possible, considering that I live outside the US and was only once able to meet them in person. Numerous times, the attorney and paralegal working with me went to unusual lengths to solve problems caused by my inability to be in the US. Questions were always promptly and clearly answered, and sympathy and sense of humor were deployed as appropriate during the process. The amount of time and effort Nirenstein, Horowitz saved me was well worth the legal fees. And peace of mind is priceless.
Thank you so much for sharing this thoughtful and detailed review. We’re truly honored that you chose Nirenstein, Horowitz & Associates once again during such a meaningful and difficult time, and we’re grateful for the trust your family has placed in our firm over the years.<br><br>We’re glad to hear that our attorney and paralegal were able to make the probate process as seamless as possible despite the challenges of distance, and that clear communication, compassion, and even a bit of humor helped along the way. Providing peace of mind to our clients is always our goal, and it means so much to know that our efforts made a difference for you.<br><br>Thank you again for your kind words and recommendation. Please know that if you ever need assistance in the future, our team is always here to help.
My wife and I went to a seminar given by Barry Horowitz. It was a very comprehensive discussion about the A-B Living Trust. We then decided to schedule a one hour free consultation with Barry. We chose this firm because of their tax knowledge. After discussing our needs we had a Living Trust with two Sub Trusts along with a continuous Sub Trust, a Medicaid Deed and an Irrevocable Trust created. A large thanks goes to Sasha Henderson who, with much patience, explained multiple aspects of the various Trusts. If she did not know an answer, which was rare, she called in another member of the firm to clarify a couple tax questions pertinent to the Irrevocable Trust. Without Barry's and Sasha's knowledge we would not have been aware of the benefit of the Sub Trusts. Thanks again to all.

We were very impressed with the thoroughness of the work that Brian Karpe and Anne Louise Johnson did to explain our trust options, prepare documents and then walk us through the execution process. Implementing the trust after its execution proved daunting for us when we first did a revocable trust 20 years ago. This firm has a very methodical approach and left us with clear instructions and pre-filled documents to share with partners holding our assets. They have been generous with their time in answering our questions. Happy to serve as a reference or to answer questions.

I am a real person and I am not a competitor who is attempting to 'damage' this firms reputation by leaving multiple one-star reviews under different accounts nor were negative reviews left for many law firms in the area on the same day. This firm will do anything to expose anyone who speaks the truth about their experience with them if it was not a good one. While others may have had a great experience with this firm, I am one of few who did not. This firm does not even deserve a one star because of certain employees that I have dealt with starting with Sonya who is the 'team lead'. She was very pushy and rude at times. I was not comfortable speaking to her after my first conversation with her over the phone. I also dealt with Sasha Henderson who was able to appropriately answer all of my questions in a respectful manner unlike Sonya. They always say, "We’re proud of the excellent service we provide our clients, which is reflected in the 100+ genuine five-star reviews we’ve received. We encourage you to read those reviews to see what real clients have to say about working with us" when a negative review is left by someone.
We’re sorry to hear about your experience. We take feedback seriously and have reviewed our records carefully. We have not been able to locate any recent client matter matching this situation.<br>Our team works hard to provide compassionate, professional service, and we’re proud that so many clients share positive experiences about working with us.<br>We’d like to learn more so we can better understand and address your concerns directly. Please contact Veronica at 860-548-1000 and we'll be happy to assist you.
I went to one of their seminars at the Point in Old Saybrook, CT last month and made an appointment in their Glastonbury office. I meet with one of their attorneys to discuss a Irrevocable Trust for my home and cash funds. I asked the attorney how does the Trust pay for the property taxes and 1099 interest. He said that was an accounting ? and he didn't have an answer. He said their company had no one to answer the tax questions. I told him I will check with an accountant and can I call to get any more questions answered. He said no and just go to another seminar. Very rude of him because I didn't give him a deposit. So he blew me off. Very disappointed with Nite stein, Horowitz & Associates. They sold teach their attorneys some etiquette. I found a firm in Old Saybrook that does Trust and knows tax laws. Ed Lowe Law.
