One of the more uncomfortable things to face as we age is making sure, in the event of death, that our survivors aren’t faced with more challenges and costs than need be in carrying out our last wishes. And, for many of us, especially if complicated family relationships have developed over the years..., the idea of seeking out a lawyer to review/update our estate plan is something that’s a lot easier to just keep putting off until some vague future date. In the case of Sean Hagan and his staff, I would say do not wait. It is a tremendous relief knowing your attorney is not only knowledgeable in estate planning but is one who takes the time to actually understand your situation and to help you wade through the options available and their impact on your family. Sean is all of that and more … plus he and his staff are just really nice people! I felt very much a part of the entire process, very comfortable asking even the smallest of questions, and am very, very pleased with the result. Highly recommend!

My wife and I have been working with Sean Hagan from Long Hagan Huff-Harris on and off over the last few years. We started working together on a single project of limited scope and were so pleased with the experience we have expanded the scope of work with the firm to include personal estate planning... and legal work for several businesses my wife and I each own. It's been a pleasure working with Sean and we would highly recommend the firm to our friends, family and colleagues.

After putting it off for a long time, I’m breathing a sigh of relief at having finally finished and signed my will. I chose Sean Hagan - with Long Hagan Huff-Harris - to represent me. Sean had been highly recommended by a neighbor, and he did not disappoint. We met face-to-face and also spoke on ...the phone and emailed back and forth many times. The biggest issue for me revolved around how to allocate my assets. I’ve lost count of the number of times I revised my working sheet. Every time I told him, OK, go ahead and draft the papers, this time my decision is final, I’d find myself contacting him within a few days because I had changed my mind. This see-sawing back and forth resulted from the disparity between what I wanted to leave my loved ones and the limited size of my estate. And it took me many months to make what I consider to be the best possible decision. From the very beginning, I was impressed by Sean’s professionalism and depth of knowledge of estate law. At our first meeting, I had a sense of what I wanted to accomplish and therefore posed a wide range of questions to him. Likewise, he did a very thorough job of posing as many to me. He wanted to know what I wanted, so he could craft a document that would mirror my wishes while simultaneously being legally sound and airtight. One of the great advantages I had in working with Sean was his familiarity with co-ops. Co-ops are not common in Massachusetts and they therefore pose a number of challenges for lawyers that are very different than, for instance, those posed by condos. Thankfully, he understands co-op structures well, and was able to act accordingly. I’m happy to say that the nearly 200-page document he produced is one with which I am completely satisfied. Likewise, I’m equally satisfied with Sean and his team. His courteous and patient demeanor - coupled with his sage advise - helped me to see my concerns from different perspectives, and at the same time, provided me with the breathing room I needed to work things out for myself. I can’t recommend Sean Hagan highly enough; he is a true professional - knowledgeable, competent, and compassionate. And I think that anyone that chooses him as their attorney, will be very pleased indeed, with the results.

Sean helped my husband and me to prepare our estate planning portfolios after the birth of our daughter. He was very accommodating of our schedule - which initially was stretched out due to the unexpected early arrival of our baby, and then quite pressured to finish up signing before my maternity lea...ve finished. We really appreciated his insight into the whole process, including intricacies around potential international/non-citizen aspects of our plan, and he was very personable and easy to work with. Highly recommend!
