Very smooth and simple estate planning process

I consulted and hired Mr. Chazin for estate planning and wills for my parents - Mr. Chazin and his firm came highly recommended from another family member. I was very pleased with how quickly he responded and the process was simple and thorough, he was very patient with my parents, explained everyth...ing in very simple and easy to understand terminology, and the finished product of the wills, healthcare directives, and POAs were quickly drawn up. Overall a great experience!

Great experience - very pleased

We retained Mark to do estate work for our mother. It was the best possible experience. Mark was kind and patient with our elderly mom. He listened and advised at our consultation, was responsive to our questions, emails and revisions following the consultation. Mark was thorough and methodical i...n his explanations and presented them in simple to understand language. He made certain that we understood every aspect. We are confident that everything will be exactly as my mom would like.

Excellent Estate Planner

Mark is not only a very knowledgeable attorney, but an excellent communicator as well. In helping me with my estate planning, all inquiries were promptly responded to, all questions and concerns adequately answered and addressed, and the service performed exceeded expectations. I would happily ret...urn to him for any future needs, and would recommend him highly.

Obtaining a Will

My wife and I recently had our will updated. It gave us an opportunity to compare our previous experience writing a will and working with Mark. Mark was extremely organized (but not inflexible) about taking us through the process of building a will. His approach made us feel very assured that we woul...d not miss anything that was important to us. He was very attentive and responded to our questions and he encouraged our engagement in the process. After our first meeting with him, we had the draft of our will in a day or two. From then until we finally met to sign it, he responded to our phone inquires in a timely manner which made the whole process go very smoothly and quickly. In fact we had the draft if our will in one or two days. At the final review and signing of the will, he again went through every section to describe what it meant, even if it was a more boiler plate section. He wanted us to understand. A new experience for us was to be provided with a tabbed binder containing all the documentation necessary to execute our will. This will be most helpful for the executer who may not know exactly what to do. I must say there is no comparison between lawyer experiences. Mark is a professional who had our best interest in mind during the entire process. We highly recommend Mark. You will not be dissatisfied. You never feel like you are bothering him or that he doesn't have time. The process went very quickly. We had the will to review in a day or two. At the final review of the will, he again went through every section to describe what it meant, even if it was a more boiler plate section. He wanted us to understand. At the completion of our will, he provided us with an entire package of materials (A Tabbed binder for various sections of information that will be helpful for whomever is executing the will and may not know exactly what to do. All the documents are laid out for executor to make it as easy to navigate as possible. I must say there is no comparison between lawyer experiences. Mark is a professional who has your best interest in mind during the entire process. We highly recommend Mark. You will not be dissatisfied.
