Mary Jo Broussard Speier

My mother and I, retained Mary Jo Broussard Speier to help us establish a relatively complicated trust fund. The service and counsel we received from Ms. Speier was exceptional. She looked into all aspects of our situation, and requirements, and determined the best course of action. In doing this ...she identified potential problems and went about taking steps to address them proactively. The work we had done was relatively complicated (at least I thought so) and could have been both confusing, and stressful, to my mother and myself. To her credit, Ms. Speiers made sure she explained the process in advance, as well as provided us with detailed updates along the way. Further, whenever we had a question, she came back with the answer in less that 24 hours, in most instances within just one or two hours. When the trust was completed she took the time to sit down with us and explain it in detail before it was signed. Then, a week or so later when I had few follow-up questions, she addressed them right away. In sum we were very pleased with Ms. Speier's professionalism and responsiveness throughout the project. We would certainly recommend her to friends and family.

I found a recommendation for Mary Jo Broussard Speier on our neighborhood listerv. My husband and I needed a revocable trust, a will, and a power of attorney. I'm not sure how complicated our situation was, but, nonetheless, it was fraught with familial issues that we wanted handled delicately but ...expediously. Mary Jo was beyond patient with our hesitations, our lack of experience, and our overall wishes to cover as many, if not all, contingencies. We were accorded the kind of respect and understanding I'd want from any professional. She set the bar much higher than any other lawyer I've dealt with. I trust her skill and legal wherewithall and absolutely appreciate her gentle interactive style.

Mary Jo is obviously highly knowledgeable in the elder care field. I sought advice on a Medicaid related issue, and she handled my inquiry promptly, efficiently and with sensitivity and candor. I happen to be an out-of-state practicing attorney, with no knowledge of elder care law. I couldn't have... been more satisfied with the service she rendered to me, and plan to retain her.
