Painless Estate Planning

I spoke to several attorneys about creating an estate plan for my special circumstances. Faiza Chaudhry greatly exceeded my expectations during our initial consultation with a very thorough and easy to understand whiteboard presentation. Although I had a good idea of what I wanted to achieve, Faiza... provided great insight into unforeseen circumstances for blended families. I thought this would be so complicated, but she made it seem quite simple. The drafting of my estate plan was an iterative process and the changes made were always accurately updated and quickly returned for my review. I felt I always received prompt responses to my questions. Even modifying the deeds to my properties and updating our financial account registrations was a simple process. I would highly recommend Faiza and use her again for future estate issues.

A pleasure to work with

As the former Vice President of six hospitals in the Boston area I always search out a person I can work with and use as a point person, Faiza is that person. It has always been a pleasure working with her, she satisfied my expectations on my estate planning, did a great job.

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.
