Evelyn Weiss Zawatsky, Attorney at Law

I began working with Evelyn in August 2014 when my uncle passed away and left me trustee of his trust/estate. Evelyn was the attorney my uncle chose to write the legal documents required to aid me in my transition. What I found from working with Evelyn was a compassionate professional attorney, who made my life so easy to manage. I live out of state and Evelyn is extremely versed in Rhode Island law and assisted in every step of the way. My uncle chose an attorney I was not familiar with and following in his educated decisions, it was fate that he chose Evelyn Weiss Zawatsky to be his attorney of choice and my good fortune he did. I have used Evelyn many time since then to manage a guardianship petition, and advice as to how to manage my uncle’s trust. I would highly recommend this attorney if you are considering her for your legal needs.

Nine years ago my mother (then in her mid 80s) had the presence of mind to suggest we update her important legal documents (Will, Powers of Attorney and Healthcare, etc.). We met with Evelyn who made what can be a daunting process very simple and logical. She proposed a living trust and made some other excellent suggestions. Six years later my mother suffered a stroke that left her unable to sign things, and with some cognitive impairment. Having all of her documents up to date made it so much easier for me to manage m mother's affairs (medical, financial, legal) until her death at the end of last year. I thank Mom for that gift and for engaging Evelyn to assist us. Evelyn's guidance has again been invaluable, following Mom's passing and has saved me spending time on things that don't apply to my mother's estate. I highly recommend her for her professionalism and knowledge, as well as for her no-nonsense approach, ensuring that families spend on things of value.

Evelyn Zawatsky is a very well informed, rigorous, always helpful and good-humored lawyer whom we have used for years for our evolving estate-planning needs. She has done a very fine job in addressing our rather complicated needs. She has our highest recommendation.nn-- Robert B. Whitcomb, Providence
