Thomas Joseph Marks

I was fortunate enough to hire Tom for some estate planning and after working with him, I always leave our meetings with a greater understanding of the legal process. Tom is very knowledgeable, informative and receptive, he always takes the time to patiently explain all the parameters of each topic.... Tom and his staff are very organized and a pleasure to work with. I have full confidence that all my estate planning needs will be properly handled and I would highly recommend Tom for this purpose.

I want to start by saying I do not often submit reviews, but I thought in this case my review of Attorney Marks might help somebody looking for an attorney to begin the estate planning process. I first met Attorney Marks when he consulted with my elderly parents a few years ago. Attorney Marks ...was also referred to me by my financial planner and a sibling who retained him for her estate planning needs. When my wife and I were ready, we retained Attorney Marks for our estate planning. Our first meeting included a discussion of our needs - wills, powers of attorney, health care proxy and an explanation of each document. Attorney Marks also provided “headache avoidance” advice. That included confirming and updating beneficiaries and ownership of financial and retirement accounts, safekeeping of passwords and steps to avoid probate. Attorney Marks also extended his services to our young adult children to draft incapacity documents. As for process, start to finish consisted of three meetings, with Attorney Marks available by phone and email to answer questions. Our retainer included one fee for all services, including the documents for our adult children. Estate Planning is a necessary, if not welcome, exercise. Attorney Marks made this easier for us through his knowledge of the law, advice, patience and professionalism. For these reasons, I wholeheartedly refer him to others for estate planning services.

My wife and I, needing to update our old outdated wills reached out to Thomas Marks for his professional expertise and we are so glad we did. Tom has a great friendly and warm personality. I see him as a man of impeccable character and his knowledge of estate planning is excellent. I’ve never fel...t more at ease dealing with anyone. He guided us step by step through each process, Health Proxies, Power of Attorney, Revocable Trusts, Wills, etc. In the end we came away with a better understanding of our own future and the future of our loved ones. I’ve dealt with a lot of attorneys over the years and Tom is in a league of his own. He goes above and beyond and gives 110%. I highly recommend Tom.

We recently completed our Estate Plan with Thomas Marks, Esq and highly recommend his services for your Estate Planning needs. With a carefully thought out timeline, attention to detail, expertise and friendly demeanor, he ensured that we understood each step of the way and that the process went smo...othly. We now have a complete Estate Plan and are reassured that our wishes as well as plans for our loved ones will be fulfilled. Thank you!
