SERVICE AREA
Estate Planning and Business Attorney Serving Northwest Bergen County
Wills, trusts and business legal work for individuals, families, owners and small businesses in Allendale, Ramsey, Ridgewood and the surrounding towns.
One lawyer for the family and the business
Many people in this part of Bergen County own a business, or a share of one, alongside a home, retirement accounts and a family to plan for. Those pieces are usually handled by different advisers who rarely talk to each other. Liva Law handles the estate plan and the business documents together, so the will, the trust and the operating agreement point in the same direction.
Liva Law LLC has one office, at 50 Tice Blvd., Suite 340 in Woodcliff Lake. Clients elsewhere in Northwest Bergen County meet there by appointment, or by phone and video. Most ongoing work is handled remotely.
Edward Liva is admitted in New Jersey and New York and brings 20 years of experience across law, compliance, risk management and business operations, including general counsel roles at financial services and technology companies. Read more about Edward Liva.
