5 stars

My wife and I met with Tom for estate planning and hired him. He is informative and provided us with the information we needed to make the right decisions. Tom prepared our wills, health care proxy's, family trust, power of atty, and guided us through what we needed to get done on our end. It is cl...ear that he has only your best interest in mind. Working with Tom was a pleasant experience and we would highly recommend him.

Estate Planning

My wife and I, needing to update our old outdated wills reached out to Thomas Marks for his professional expertise and we are so glad we did.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.

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.

Very comfortable to work with.

My wife and I hired Atty. Marks after a reference from an associate of ours. We wanted Wills, Healthcare proxies, Power of Atty., trust for each of us, and an irrevocable trust for our home. We met with Tom for an hour to explain what we want to accomplish. We had laid out how trust payments would be... handled and by whom. It was very simple ( I thought). He took all the time we needed to explain the laws and why we could not do what we wanted, but showed us how to accomplish our goals with the best financial results possible. We will pass wealth to our families with the bare minimum of taxes. Attorney Marks made our four meetings very pleasant. Although he knew more about this than we did he made us fell very knowledgeable about the process. Our trust , the way we wanted it, was more involved than what I've heard about beforehand. This was not a problem for Atty. Marks. He explains, he answers phone calls, he responds to e-mail, and he answers every question. The entire process of planning after my passing was comfortable. Our estate planning has been complete for 4 months now and Tom is still available to answer any questions we come up with. The cost of his service was low compared to the effort and service we received. I would hire him again.

Estate Planning Lawyer

Tom helped my husband and me with our estate planning needs which included wills, health care proxy, HIPPA, power of attorney, and trust. He was very helpful and knowledgeable. Everything was done in 4 meetings over 2 months. He was also available by e-mail and phone whenever we had questions while... preparing the information for the documents. I highly recommend Tom for your estate planning needs.

"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."
