Tiffany Anne O'Connell

We retained the services of O'Connell Law and Tiff, specifically, to assist us with our estate planning. We own a family business, so there were some significant tax implications that we needed to be sure were addressed properly. From start to finish we were extremely pleased with Tiff's exemplary ...service, attention to detail and knowledge of the law and applicable tax codes. We feel prepared and are comforted by the fact that we know our three children will be taken care of when the time comes.

When seeking a lawyer to tackle the daunting task of Estate Planning, the firm of O’Connell Law LLC was recommended by our financial advisor. Our first meeting coincided with the onset of the COVID19 pandemic and necessitated doing so “virtually”. In spite of the sudden transition from business-...as-usual, all of our interactions were handled with competence, compassion, and elegance. Tiffany A. O’Connell walked us through the initial phase, simplifying each step and answering all our questions with warmth and wisdom. The depth of her understanding of the law was evident as she deftly led us through the weeds of details. She shared the screen with Faiza Z. Chaudry who added to her comments. A meeting schedule was established, and we had the benefit of Faiza’s expertise at following sessions. Faiza was meticulous in her presentation and explanations, and she, too, answered all our questions professionally and with obvious eagerness to help us understand each detail. Every step was completed efficiently and on time. Even the “drive by” signing of all the final documents was safely planned, and easily accomplished. We were thrilled with the Estate Planning Portfolio that holds ALL our documents: Our Living Trust; Will: Funding Instructions; Power of Attorney; Trustee Affidavit; Health Care; Memorial Instructions; Personal Effects; and ”Other Documents” that include a “Schedule of Procedures” for hospital emergencies, along with suggestions for a “Go Bag” should we have to be hospitalized in times of COVID restrictions. We are so pleased to be able to recommend the O’Connell Law Group. We look forward to a lifetime connection with this team of lawyers: They have given us, and our children, the priceless gift of peace of mind.

For thirty years my husband managed our finances. My eyes crossed every time he tried to get me involved. I’m not proud of that but it came back to haunt me when he got ill and it all fell to me. Eventually I woke up to the fact that his illness meant that I needed to redo all my estate planning beca...use he could no longer be my backup trustee, health care proxy, etc. My neighbor recommended O’Connell Law to help me, and I am so grateful. I had so much trepidation about it but Tiff and her associate Faiza put me at ease immediately. They have the process down to a science; they are able to break estate planning into small understandable pieces. They are as much wonderful teachers as they are excellent attorneys. They take their time and made me feel like all my questions were good ones. They followed up with me to make sure I was able to carry out the steps of funding my Trust. I feel comfortable asking follow up questions. Working with O’Connell Law has been a great experience and I would highly recommend them to everyone.

Tiff immediately established an effective working relationship with my husband and me. She proactively shared her extensive knowledge and expertise regarding wills and trusts. All of this was achieved during the pandemic. Through Tiff’s leadership and delegation, our wills and trust were completed to... our complete satisfaction, when much of society came to a halt.
