Detailed and Knowledgeable

My husband and I worked with Faiza before and during the pandemic. Even though many aspects of life came to a halt, Faiza’s guidance on our wills and trust continued through her effective use of technology. She listened to our needs, and provided detailed/comprehensible information for our considerat...ion. We are very pleased with the work done by O’Connell Law.

Wonderful Experience

Faiza has been extremely helpful and patient through the work that we just recently did which included wills, health care proxies and other health care information, working out beneficiary information for all of our assets and placing these into a trust. Not only did she make all of these complicate...d pieces easy to understand, she answered all of our followup questions (even explaining a second time when we didn't get it the first time), laid out a detailed plan for us and gave us guidance about future pieces we could think about. The signing process was professional and well done with today's standards (everything done from your car, sterilized pen for signing which you can keep, everyone had masks on). Thank you to Faiza and your entire team!

A law firm that treats you like family!

This was our first time going to a lawyer and that word alone was scary enough for us. From the first moment we walked in to the office everyone made us feel comfortable and at ease. Faiza took the time to explain everything to us without making us feel inadequate. There were some confusing aspect...s to our estate plan that needed to be done especially with 5 kids and we felt as though there were no stupid questions that we could ask. Faiza took the time to ensure our estate plan was done to our exact specifications. We would highly recommend Faiza and the O'Connell Law team to anyone who is looking for a law firm that truly has your best interests at heart!
