Profession, Responsive, & Good Communication
We hired Carolyn for the settlement of our Dad's Estate. Carolyn and the team were very professional and responsive regarding the settlement. We felt that we were in good hands. They did a very good job of communicating the process and next steps.

Experienced, Trustworthy, and Compassionate with Wills and POAs
We’ve had the pleasure to work with Carolyn on a couple occasions to update our wills and POAs. Carolyn has been made the process very easy and convenient. She made the effort to work around our schedules and meet us close to our home so we did not have to travel. She listened with a compassionate ear and gave us knowledgeable and trustworthy advice. I would highly recommend Carolyn and use her for our needs in the future.

Estate-Executor
Carolyn did a great job working with me on my father's estate after he passed. She guided me through al the required steps in to complete the filings/returns and she is very knowledgeable on the process. She made this difficult situation easy and I knew I could trust that she had all the bases covered. I valued her opinion and the process went exactly as she told me. I was very happy with the work she did for us and I would hire her again.

Probate Process
I worked with Carolyn when my father died very unexpectedly last year. We ended up having to take his assets through probate due to not having a will in place. Carolyn and her team were very compassionate and walked me through the estate settlement process. They made an already difficult time a lot easier because I knew I could trust her throughout the process.

Carolyn Marchesani Review
I reached out to Carolyn Marchesani within days after my brother's unexpected death in Reading, Pa in April, 2020. As one of his 4 siblings who live out of state, I realized that we would need professional legal assistance to navigate the various tasks that needed to be addressed (especially since there was no will). As the administrator of the estate, Carolyn directed me step by step as we dealt with bills, bank accounts, taxes, forms, receipts, etc, and all with patience and compassion. She was communicative and clear, particularly considering that the restrictions of the pandemic added to the already complicated and often frustrating aspects of settling an estate. I found her to be professional, yet warm and empathic, and actually miss our communications now that everything has been settled.

Thorough and detail oriented
Attorney Carolyn Marchesani was contacted to assist with an update to my will. She handled the matter professionally and thoughtfully and when she learned I also have an adult child with disabilities, she made sure that our plans would be in the best interest of all parties.
