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.

My experience with O’Connell Law

My Estate Plan had been prepared by another company but wanted to have it checked. It turns out that it was not complete and mistakes had been made. From the time I handed the documents over to O’Connell Law a felt that I was in good hands. The meetings had to be on Zoom which I had never done bef...ore. However, the knowledge and patience of Faiza made the task possible. Everything was done on time and with perfection. I highly recommend this company for their knowledge and the care I received.

Help with Estate planning

My wife and I went to O'Connell Law to help us create a will and discuss estate plans. It's never a conversation you "want" to have and we were long overdue in getting it done. Faiza was outstanding in listening to our situation, what we were looking to do, and very clearly laying out the options and... how all of the processes around wills and estate plans work. Using the whiteboard, she listed out the different options to give us a much better understanding of what we could do. She did not pressure us into one option over another, just made them very clear and was there to answer any questions. I was really impressed with how quickly she understood our current situation and my wife and I felt very comfortable with her input and guidance. She gave us all the questions we needed to answer and that made the process really smooth and painless. We feel much better now knowing that we have some piece of mind should something happen to one or both of us. Faiza was great to work with and we would recommend her and her firm to anyone for their needs around estate planning.

Worry-free estate planning

Faiza made it very easy to do our estate planning while preparing for the birth of our first child. She was a great teacher who helped us understand the documents, and she was very approachable and open to questions. The documents came out exactly as we asked, with great attention to detail. We felt ...confident because she and several colleagues had all reviewed the documents, and then we reviewed them together with Faiza.
