Patient, professional, and responsive

Faiza and the entire team at O'Connell Law were fantastic to work with. They were patient and responsive during every step of the process, helping us understand how estate planning works, make hard decisions, organize documents, and plan for the future. Our family has worked with many lawyers and fir...ms in the past, and I can say with confidence that Faiza, Lia, and O'Connell Law are the absolute best!

Clear - Concise - Knowledgeable - Personable

We hired Faiza to walk us through the establishment of Living Trusts. Throughout the process of creating the Trusts she provided simple, clear descriptions of the documents needed and process. Faiza made herself available for follow up questions and was attentive to the details we needed to know. ...I found Faiza professional, approachable and very knowledgable. She connected with my wife and me on a personal level while still maintaining a professional relationship - this was a perfect balance and just what we needed to feel supported by and build trust with our lawyer. I would 100% recommend Faiza to anyone looking for an honest, straightforward yet compassionate and personable lawyer.

Exceptional estate planning attorney

We moved to Massachusetts from another state and needed to update and generate new estate planning documents. I searched for attorneys and felt comfortable reaching out to O’Connell Law firm. An appointment was scheduled for us with attorney Faiza Chaudhry. We met with Faiza a couple of times over... Zoom. She was amazing indeed with attention to details, answered all our questions and more questions with extraordinary patience. We worked through the documents we needed and she even pointed to what else we might need in an eventuality. My wife felt very comfortable with the process. Faiza is a very good attorney and we highly recommend her to anyone considering estate planning.

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.
