Outstanding estate planning attorney

Jessica is an outstanding estate planning attorney. She has extensive knowledge in laws and regulations and I appreciate all the recommendations she provided to me and my mom as we created and finalized our trusts. She is a great listener with exceptional organization skills. I highly recommend Jessi...ca and her team.

Estate Planning: Highly Recommend JM Law

My wife and I have worked with Jessica Marchegiano and JM Law for our Estate Planning needs. Until we met Jessica we knew very little about Revocable Living Trusts. Jessica explained to us in minute detail all there is to know about Living Trusts and walked us step by step what we needed to do in o...rder to create our trust and the decisions that we had to make in order to finalize the trust documents. Jessica was very professional, to the point, extremely easy to work with, very accommodating and on top of all that very knowledgeable in her field. We couldn’t have been happier that we were able to work with Jessica for this rather complex and ever changing field. Jessica is well aware of the constant changes in law and she wastes no time in adapting the new laws to her clients needs and ensures that her past clients are up to date on those recent changes that would require maintenance in their revocable trusts. We would highly recommend Jessica and JM Law for all your Estate Planning needs.

Best decision ever!

I am fortunate that JM Law is associated with my financial planning firm, Cassaday. Although my Living Trust was fairly simple, Jessica worked closely with me to cover all aspects needed for a thorough document. Since we were working together at the beginning of the pandemic, she was able to comple...te our work remotely, which was wonderful. I continue our working relationship in keeping all of my documents current. I would highly recommend Jessica and her firm for all of your estate-planning needs!

Excellent estate attorney

After serving as executor for my mother's estate and having to 1) find a lawyer in NY to assist with this, 2) find all of her various accounts as there wasn't any consolidated information (in fact, I found one account a year after the estate closed!) and 3) having to go through probate, I decided tha...t I should make it easier on my kids to handle my estate in the future. My financial advisor provided a reference for Jessica Marchegiano, ESQ. I had a brief introductory meeting with her and several other estate attorneys and decided she would be a great fit. Luckily for me, she was hired by my financial advisor's firm before I finalized my decision. She professionally handled all aspects of my trust providing advice as necessary with specific questions, she assisted with the transfer of my house title to the trust as well with all the necessary accounts within my advisor's firm, and provided me with a complete document, including the pourover will and medical power of attorney, within a few weeks. It was well organized and easy to follow. She was very easy to work with and even offered to meet with my kids (the beneficiaries) should they come to town. I will periodically review it and contact her for updates should they be necessary. I would not hesitate to contact Ms. Marchegiano for at least an introductory meeting if you are considering whether a trust is the right choice for you.

Excellent estate planning attorney

Ms. Marchegiano redid all of my estate documents and pointed out important facts I had not considered regarding my estate and implications for my heirs. She set up my trust and my estate documents are the most organized of any lawyer I’ve used in the past. She is very responsive and extremely knowl...edgeable. Highly recommended.
