Top Notch

To Whom It May Concern, We were referred to Thomas Marks by a good friend who found out we were looking to put our long delayed legal affairs in order. He provided us with an Irrevocable Trust, along with Wills, Power-of-Attorney, and Health Care documents, all for a reasonable fee. Tom is ea...sy to talk to, like chatting with a friend actually, but he takes his job seriously, asking all the right questions to get the raw data needed to complete his finished products. He listened attentively to our simplest questions, answering them directly and thoroughly (which hopefully wasn’t too painful for him as I’m sure he’s heard them numerous times). More importantly, his balanced sense of humor makes a dry experience more enjoyable. He was willing to meet with us in person or virtually. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for professional estate planning documentation and advice. Sincerely, Mike Dakota Cindy Cornwall

Estate Planning with Attorney Tom Marks

Just recently we met with Atty. Marks to update our wills and other estate planning documents. We were extremely fortunate to have someone we know, who had worked with Atty. Marks, recommend him to us. If you are like us and have just a basic understanding of what is needed for your estate plannin...g, then I couldn't recommend a more knowledgeable and professional attorney. Tom answers questions in a manner easy to understand, so you are able to make the best decision for your situation. We definitely felt at easy working with him and left feeling confident that we put together the best plan for our family needs.

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My wife and I, needing to update our old outdated wills reached out to Thomas Marks for his professional expertise and we are so glad we did.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

A true professional

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

Estate Planning

My wife Theresa and I hired Tom to re-do our entire Estate Package. Way above the cost ( which was very reasonable) was the manner by which Tom works. We had the following completed for both of us: Wills Personal Trusts Real Estate Trust Health Care Proxies Power of Attorneys Tom made ...it his mission to ensure we understood every aspect of each document. Extremely organized and direct but the comfort-level we felt during the entire process was the most important. We would highly recommend Tom if you are considering options for Estate Planning.

"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."
