Competence, Compassion, and Elegance

When seeking a lawyer to tackle the daunting task of Estate Planning, the firm of O’Connell Law LLC was recommended by our financial advisor. Our first meeting coincided with the onset of the COVID19 pandemic and necessitated doing so “virtually”. In spite of the sudden transition from business-...as-usual, all of our interactions were handled with competence, compassion, and elegance. Tiffany A. O’Connell walked us through the initial phase, simplifying each step and answering all our questions with warmth and wisdom. The depth of her understanding of the law was evident as she deftly led us through the weeds of details. She shared the screen with Faiza Z. Chaudry who added to her comments. A meeting schedule was established, and we had the benefit of Faiza’s expertise at following sessions. Faiza was meticulous in her presentation and explanations, and she, too, answered all our questions professionally and with obvious eagerness to help us understand each detail. Every step was completed efficiently and on time. Even the “drive by” signing of all the final documents was safely planned, and easily accomplished. We were thrilled with the Estate Planning Portfolio that holds ALL our documents: Our Living Trust; Will; Funding Instructions; Power of Attorney; Trustee Affidavit; Health Care; Memorial Instructions; Personal Effects; and “”Other Documents” that include a “Schedule of Procedures” for hospital emergencies, along with suggestions for a “Go Bag” should we have to be hospitalized in times of COVID restrictions. We are so pleased to be able to recommend the O’Connell Law Group. We look forward to a lifetime connection with this team of lawyers: They have given us, and our children, the priceless gift of peace of mind.

Smart, Thorough and Caring

O'Connell Law is all about keeping the client front and center. Faiza met us on a Saturday because of our availability. She gave us a one-on-one estate planning seminar addressing our goals and questions laying out the law and our options clearly and concisely. We left this initial meeting with our n...ext appointment on the calendar to finalize our plan. I highly recommend Faiza and the O'Connell firm.

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!
