Great experience

I really enjoyed working with Faiza to update my estate plan. She was friendly, organized, competent, and flexible with scheduling. Faiza was very responsive to emails, and easy to work with.

Estate planning

Faiza skillfully guided us through the process of creating a will and living trust. Via quarantine-friendly Zoom meetings and videos, she clearly explained all the steps in the complex process and was open to our many follow-up questions. She also kept us moving forward on our tasks when we tried ...to procrastinate.

O'Connell law review

My wife and I solicited the O’Connell firm to execute our Estate Planning that we have been procrastinating for some time. Our research into estate planning firm favored well with O’Connell law based on Tiffanies (their principal) background, her experience and the portfolio of practice areas the fi...rm offers. From our initial engagement, with Faiza, to our sign-off meeting the O’Connell team were professional, attentive and thorough in guiding us through the legalize and process for establishing our estate plan. Their instruction and case specific feedback were invaluable for us to mitigate fundamental pitfalls we had overlook. We found them very adaptive to us personally as well the CODIV conditions we all face at this time. O’Connell’s multi-phase/meeting process with Faiza and Tiffancy to very effective for preliminary planning and our design meeting. It afforded opportunity to reflect, gather pertinent information and make informed decisions. We greatly appreciated what O’Connell law has done for us to date and plan on a long term relationship with the firm.
