Lucy Fehr Dowd

Lucy was the perfect person to serve as legal counsel as I served as the Executor of my parents' estate. She was caring, always timely with responding to my many questions and took the time to clearly explain all the legal things I needed to understand and know . She walked me through the probate pro...cess and helped me with complications that arose in the process of settling the estate. She was patient and offered valuable advice when asked.

Our estate planning was far from simple due to having an adult with a developmental disability in our family. Ensuring our estate was planned in a way that our son's needs would not be compromised after our passing is on the short list of our highest priorities. Lucy Dowd assisted us with estate pl...anning, as well as establishing our guardianship and disability trust for our adult son with special needs. As many families in similar situations can attest, our schedules are often difficult to work with, but Lucy Dowd's patient yet persistent approach ensured that the work was completed in a timely manner and at a very fair rate. She is certainly on my very short list of attorneys I have absolutely no reservations referring my friends to for a consultation. I have, in fact, done so and received sincere thanks from the friend I referred who echoed my experience with Lucy. If there was an "Absolutely without hesitation" choice under "Would you recommend this lawyer?", I would click it.

We were referred to Ms. Dowd for purposes of updating our wills, powers of attorney, and a special needs trust. Ms. Dowd met with us and explained several changes in the law since the time the special needs trust had been written by our original attorney. She assisted us with the wording of the nec...essary changes and completed everything within a very short turnaround time. We were extremely pleased and impressed with her professionalism and willingness to educate us while completing the work. We plan to continue to meet with Ms. Down periodically to ensure that all of our documents remain up-to-date in order to ensure that they are still written in compliance with current regulations so that our intentions are accomplished.
