About

Practicing estate planning and probate really suits my personality style - I love to help people "figure things out" and balance the pros and cons of a particular situation to make the best decision possible. I also strive to be a source of comfort to friends and family, and am greatly satisfied to be able to do that in my professional life as well, helping people get estate planning off their "mental list" and giving them the peace of mind that comes from having the proper estate planning documents in place; and helping families deal with the loss of a loved one by assisting them in navigating the technical and legal details that come up at that time. When I'm not working, I enjoy music - listening, playing and writing. I am a singer/songwriter/pianist and love sharing songs with friends and family. I live in Brookline and love the Boston area.

I contacted Robin Gorenberg in the midst of the pandemic to update my will, trust, healthcare proxy and power of attorney. She responded in a timely manner to all questions, and thoroughly researched prior documentation, discovering an important prior omission, (my real estate attorney had not filed the homestead exemption at closing). She provided detailed information on trust issues, and also provided helpful referrals for in-person signing.

I am so glad that I hired Attorney Gorenberg to do my Will. She made the entire process as fast and easy as possible. She explained everything in detail, answered all my questions and advised me so that I could make the right decisions. She is very competent, professional and personable. Her office is in a convenient location and her prices are well worth it. I highly recommend hiring her for your estate planning needs. You’ll be glad you did! Thanks for everything Attorney Gorenberg.

My sister and I worked with Robin Gorenberg on our respective wills, trusts, powers of attorney, and health care proxies. Robin was extremely helpful and happy to assist with our multiple questions. It can be a very intimidating process of getting these documents in place and we felt so comfortable working with Robin. I appreciate that she took the time to educate us on what each document meant and the importance of the language. We had Robin look at our parent's documents (prepared by another law firm) and Robin was able to assist in making us understand the documents. My parents were so appreciative. I feel comfortable and confident knowing that all our documents are in order. I could not be prouder to recommend Robin, she is outstanding!

We hired Robin Gorenberg to complete our estate planning work in early 2019. We had received the recommendation from my company’s General Counsel. While he had not used Robin personally, he did have a number of colleagues that provided very good reviews related to her work. We found the process to be very easy with Robin as she guided us through all of the various options citing pro’s and con’s of taking certain steps along the way. She was very good at explaining technical concepts in layman’s terms and providing recommendations, but not coming across as overly pushy in terms of her recommendations. Her final work product was very timely and fully complete and her fees were fair for the high quality work. My wife and I would highly recommend her for Estate Planning counsel and will continue to utilize her services as the need arises in the future.

Robin Gorenberg has been resourceful, flexible and intelligent, helping us create our respective Wills, Health Care Proxies and Powers of Attorney. Our requirements were not straightforward, having married late in life with different sets of children and grandchildren. She gave us advice remotely, was patient with our questions, and emailed and mailed us the final documents that we needed, in good time and at reasonable cost. If you’re looking for a good lawyer, for wills or anything, we’d happily recommend Robin.

I first procured the legal services of Robin Gorenberg several years ago, when both my parents were still living. I don't know what we would have done without her expertise in Estate Planning. Her knowledge and compassion helped us through a very confusing time. I called upon Robin again when my mother was being admitted into Nursing Home Care. Robin referred me to an Elder Law Attorney immediately. Thankfully, I did not need his formal services in the end, but he was just as kind and experienced as she is. And, by the way, he is a very well-known attorney in his field, so needless to say, Robin has a fantastic network of trusted colleagues in the top of their fields, as she is. I just worked with her a few months ago for Estate Planning for me and my husband. I was under a deadline, and despite how busy Robin is, she turned around the documents in record time, just because that is the kind of person she is. She does not hesitate to help people, and she is always accessible. Lastly, let me reassure anyone who is worried about breaking the bank to hire an attorney. Robin is very fair and honest. She will explain and itemize all fees and alert you of any changes. This is not do-it-yourself work - you need a legal professional, and I strongly recommend Robin Gorenberg for anyone needing Estate Planning Services. Thank you!!

I highly recommend engaging the services of Robin Gorenberg. She is an excellent estate planning attorney. Robin made the whole process straightforward and explained each step. She was patient with me and crafted exactly what I had in mind. Her fees are reasonable and she handled all the paperwork with ease. I would recommend her without hesitation to anyone thinking of starting the estate planning process.

When my mother passed away suddenly in 2015, Robin helped me settle the estate. She was very professional and stayed right on top of everything, which gave me peace of mind because I no longer live in the local area. Her advice and referrals to other service providers was invaluable.

Robin Gorenberg expertly guided my husband and me through the complex process of estate planning from start to finish. She suggested documents for us to consider based on our situation, answered our questions in language we could understand and made thoughtful suggestions if she thought we were overlooking anything. Her work was thorough and completed in a timely manner. Her fees, which were based on the documents we choose, were provided at the outset and this was very helpful as we could anticipate the cost of estate planning. It was a pleasure to work with Robin, and we will be recommending her to our friends and family.

For years, my husband and I had been putting off preparing our estate plan (EP) partly out of concerns over our unfamiliarity with the legal procedure, amount of time it would take to pull together the requirements and the challenges of finding the right lawyer. We finally decided to bite the bullet and picked out Robin's name from the internet after reading a couple of reviews. All my earlier fears about selecting a lawyer off the net instead of through personal referrals was put totally to rest at our first meeting with Robin. She was a thorough professional and yet very approachable. We had an initial phone meeting followed by a face to face with her. During both those meetings, she provided a clear overview of the estate planning process and spelt out our various options and the pros and cons of each. At the same time, she was careful to never steer us towards one option over the other but gave us the time to mull over the information provided and make our decision based on our circumstance and need. Following the two meetings, all our communications were through emails. Her responses were very prompt and thorough. She answered all of our questions patiently and worked closely with us and in a timely fashion through several rounds of reviews and updates to the various EP documents till they were finalized. She was extremely knowledgeable about the laws (both federal and state) governing trusts, wills, Power of Attorney, probate and demystified the legalese for us. Her fees were reasonable and there were no hidden costs. The full fee structure was explained very clearly prior to signing up with her. Robin was very personable and easy to interact with. I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending her to others who require similar services. I know where to go if/when I need to update my EP or for any other related service.
