Wills, Trusts and Estate Planning

Hi, I’m Barbara M. Pizzolato, and I’m happy you’re here! I first began helping clients with their planning when I opened my own solo practice in New York in 1994, practicing there until relocating the main office to Florida in 2002. Today, our focus is on assisting clients with Trusts and Estate Planning, business succession planning, probate, and trust administration.
I’ve helped families all over Southwest Florida.

I've received an AV® PreeminentTM rating from Martindale-Hubbell® Lawyer Ratings from 2014 to present, indicating the highest level of professional excellence.

Our work with families and business owners is focused on collaboration rather than conflict. It is our goal to help you meet your lifelong goals and most pressing concerns. We look forward to the chance to get to know you.

Business Planning

Taking the time to plan your business carefully prevents expensive mistakes.

Hear From Our Clients

John Masters

Have been with her office since our retirement to Florida. Helped us review and revise our old estate plan based on our current needs. Extremely knowledgeable about estate laws and advising on how to best manage your estate. Had to do things earlier than expected and Barbara was there to assist and support. I would recommend meeting with her to assess your needs and see if her office is a good fit for your needs.

Harvey Schein

We have been clients of Barbara's firm for over 5 years and the experience throughout has been exemplary. From the beginning she has been informative, communicative and totally pleasant when we meet once a year for updates. Most important is her knowledge base, which is second to none. We highly recommend her. You will not be disappointed.

Roy Royvb

Barb is always responsive, informed, and professional. She is a a convincing expert in her field and willing to spend the time necessary to make sure you "get" the issue and understand new and/or evolving requirements of the law and available and appropriate options. She and her staff are responsive to emailed questions and the bi-yearly meetings keep both sides up to date on legal and personal changes..
