Thomas Joseph Marks

My wife and I had Tom Marks referred to us by a friend who is a financial planner. After our initial meeting with Tom, it was very clear to us that Tom was exactly the type of attorney we were looking for with regards to estate planning and other related matters. Tom was incredibly attentive to our... needs, prompt by always following thru on his commitments, extremely thorough in all his service ad took time to patiently explain all matters to us and answer any questions we had without making us feel like idiots. He met with us 3 times as part of our estate planning and always made himself available via phone calls or emails to answer any follow up questions we had. In fact, he provided a number of consultation and advice for services well beyond what we hired him to do without any additional costs. His cost structure was extremely reasonable and more than fair when compared to other estate planning attorneys referred to us by friends (of who some were themselves attorneys). If we could rate Tom higher than 5 stars (on a 5 star scale) we would for sure. I have already referred Tom to family and friends and have done so without hesitation. In fact, we have already reached out to Tom to assist with other matters related to our parent’s estate planning and other related matters.

A review should be written when everything is fresh in mind but here it is, still on my mind to do, even a few years later. I've reread all of the reviews and agree with so many of them, I'm finding it difficult not to repeat. A good friend recommended Tom when we had quite a lot of things going o...n requiring us to update our wills, health care proxy's, POA's and understand how trusts work. My wife and I met Tom on a "get to know each other" consult and found Tom to be a good listener, easy to understand, honest and caring. Most importantly, Tom was up to speed with the ever-changing rules of estate planning needs which including trusts, wills, health care proxy and power of attorney. We took care of everything painlessly in 2-3 meetings. As a side note, we asked Tom to review our elderly mother's recently updated trust and discovered that the recent updates did not protect her assets as expected. Tom's knowledge in this field is current and extremely important, especially with the ever-changing laws. We feel very good about recommending Tom Marks as your attorney. He has your best interests in mind.

My husband and I finally decided to get our estate and will in order after my retirement this year. Tom Marks was incredibly helpful- professional, thorough, and very personable. He listened carefully to what we wanted and needed, and then he laid out all of our options clearly. It is a great sense o...f relief to have all of our legal documents in place. I highly recommend Tom.

When Kathy and retired this year, it was time to establish our estate plan for our future and for our children. Over several meetings at our home, Tom Marks did an outstanding job in giving us a "list" of items to produce, an evaluation of who we are as age, health, investments, family dynamics, and ...future goals. We feel Tom has created a personal estate plan for Kathryn and me, that will allow our children to handle our passing with limited issues and few delays in money matters whenever that time occurs. He was very professional, very personable and friendly, and had excellent knowledge for legal and taxable issues we potentially will face down the road. We highly recommend this professional lawyer for your estate planning.
