Excellence in Estate Planning

Kudos to Thomas Marks for the the step by step process of updating and redoing my trust. He was exact and precise in explaining the process in layman's terms. He was very accessible in answering any questions; either by phone or email. I feel Thomas Marks went above and beyond in helping me navigate... through the whole process.

A true professional

Tom navigated us through the will and trust waves swimmingly. Responsive, knowledgeable and accessible. A true credit to his profession.

Estate and trust formulation

Tom has been my personal attorney for almost five years. He helped my wife and I with our wills, powers of attorney, and setting up multiple trusts to prepare our estate for our children. When my wife passed away this year he helped me with the process of settling her financial affairs, re-writing ...the trusts, and just being a compassionate human being to me. I am fortunate to have retained his services and recommend him to anyone.

Excellent service

My husband and I hired Tom for estate planning. He was very thorough and professional. After our first consult we knew how much the process cost and what would be covered. Every step of the process was explained and any questions were answered. The process was personalized to our specific needs ev...ery step of the way. Everything was explained so we would understand our options. We are very confident we made the right decision in hiring Tom and highly recommend him.

Estate planning

My wife and I consulted with Tom Marks in order to establish our wills, and we were provided with much deeper and more thorough service than we expected. As a result of working with Tom, we now have wills, power of attorney statements, health care proxy statements, and trusts for our estate. Tom pr...ovided great advice on tax planning and organizing our estate. He answered questions quickly, provided us with up-to-date documentation throughout the process, and was very easy to work with during our meetings. Tom is knowledgeable, thorough, patient, and personable. I recommend him to anyone pursuing an estate plan.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"Tom and I met when we represented adverse parties in a very sensitive and difficult matter. After a contentious beginning, we were able to resolve the matter in a reasonable and equitable fashion. Tom demonstrated that he could show compassion and understanding for my client while obtaining a great result for his client. Tom is very smart, he knows the law, and he is able to exercise mature judgment and creative problem solving. I am very comfortable referring matters to Tom; I know his clients are in good hands."
