Benefits of working with an Estate Planning Attorney

You may have thought about planning your estate for some time, or only recently had a life change that merits consideration of your arrangements.

In either case, Maureen will meet with you to learn your objectives, and together you will form a plan that accomplishes your goals.  

A well-designed estate plan reflects your final wishes, protects your assets, and provides for ease of settlement in probate.

“I listen hard to what my clients want, and communicate in realistic terms what I can do in furtherance of the clients’ goals.” 

“At the signing ceremony to finalize the work, everyone generally feels so good.  I genuinely enjoy the work, and my reviews attest that my clients enjoy the experience of working with me.”
