John W. Taylor

May 3, 2021

I, John W. Taylor, wholeheartedly endorse the professional legal services of Verleana D. Green, attorney at law.

I had a goal of securing a pathway to generational wealth. I needed the assistance of an attorney who understood the various protective, structural and legal guidelines for success.

As a community, African-American families have faced great losses in the event of a lost loved one. How often do we hear, “There was no will,” when families face bereavement, leaving property and assets in legal jeopardy, often resulting in the loss of said securities.

Rational, practical decision-making is what is needed. But illogical, emotional battles ensue based on the wrong opinions.

Gentrification is real and I refuse to allow my modest estate to fall victim to the practice.

The assistance Attorney Green gave came with an awareness- a need for a layman’s approach. Clear, thought-provoking information was given with proper considerations. Considerations concerning my health and wishes, children, grandchildren and siblings.

In black and white, my estate was protected from misunderstandings and emotional, family bickering.

I felt that Attorney Green listened with patience and focused on my questions. I felt my needs were met with an iron-clad clarity.

If estate planning is what you need, don’t put it off for later. The future can be promising but, indeed, is never promised. Take care of your affairs and protect your loved ones from the confusion of bereavement.

Again, I wholeheartedly endorse the legal services of attorney Verleana D. Green.

My name is Wornia “Dee Dee” Logan and my recent experience with the Law Offices of Verleana D. Green could not have come at a better time in my life.  I had recently lost my husband and best friend of 50 years, and Attorney Green and her staff supported my need to think and rethink my estate planning.  I was new to doing these types of things without my husband, and Attorney Green met me where I was, and how I was feeling with each encounter in her virtual office (due to COVID) with professional knowledge, care and compassion, and at no time did I feel my immediate or long-term goals were not her priority, as she helped to give definition and great meaning to my task.  What I liked about Attorney Green is the way she made me feel, like I was literally meeting with her face to face.  She answered my questions as though any confusion I might have had truly mattered to her.  We laughed at times, and the times I became emotional, she provided the space I needed to continue my estate planning journey. I left each encounter with her stronger and accepting of how mucmy choices regarding my estate and end-of-life decisions were what mattered.  My time with Attorney Green was life changing, at a time in my life I didn’t feel much like changing a thing, due to my recent, tremendous loss.  Attorney Green is my estate planning attorney, and I would recommend her services to anyone who needs to create or update their plans.

It has been a pleasure working with the Law Offices of Verleana D. Green for my estate planning needs. The estate planning with Ms. Green’s office and staff has been very efficient and informative. Stephné, her assistant, has communicated with me every step of the way. The information has been timely each step of the way. Changes have been easily handled without complications. I would highly recommend the Law Offices of Verleana D. Green for all your legal requirements.

March 4, 2014, Julianna was a client of Verleana D.’s

I worked with Verleana on a personal family matter concerning an estate issue that I’ve been dealing with for years. After speaking to many attorneys over the years, she was the first who reassured me that my concerns were valid and she expressed her confidence that we would realize a positive outcome. Verleana supported me and my family every step of the way and I was very pleased with the end result. I would recommend her without any reservations and will certainly call upon her again if I ever have a legal need. See less
