Faiza Z. Chaudhry

My wife and I worked with Faiza and her team earlier this year to plan a will/trust. Coming into this without any legal background, we did not know what to expect. However, after our first meeting we felt incredibly comfortable in our decision to work with her. Faiza took the time to explain all of t...he different options available and answered any questions we had. She was always up front and direct, while also being caring and compassionate. She took the time to get to know us as a family and understand what was important for us in preparing for the future. There is a lot to consider when going through this process, but my wife and left each of our meetings with Faiza knowing that we were in good hands.

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.

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!

For thirty years my husband managed our finances. My eyes crossed every time he tried to get me involved. I’m not proud of that but it came back to haunt me when he got ill and it all fell to me. Eventually I woke up to the fact that his illness meant that I needed to redo all my estate planning beca...use he could no longer be my backup trustee, health care proxy, etc. My neighbor recommended O’Connell Law to help me, and I am so grateful. I had so much trepidation about it but Faiza put me at ease immediately. She has the process down to a science; she is able to break estate planning into small understandable pieces. Faiza is as much a wonderful teacher as an excellent attorney. She takes her time and made me feel like all my questions were good ones. She then followed up with me to make sure I was able to carry out the steps of funding my Trust. I feel comfortable asking follow up questions. Working with O’Connell Law has been a great experience and I would highly recommend them to everyone.
