Christine R. O'Neil

Putting an estate plan together is one of those things that we all tend to procrastinate. My late wife and I often talked about it, went to a few seminars attorneys put on, but never got around to actually doing it. When my wife died suddenly I realized very quickly that I needed an estate plan as th...e last thing you want is to die intestate and have the courts determine who gets what. Everyone's circumstances are different but having control over what you want is paramount. But where do you find a competent attorney to do this? Generally I prefer personal referrals but no one I knew was any help. Fortunately I was lucky. I did an internet search, if they had a website I checked what information was provided and checked out their credentials. This is how I found Christine O'Neil. Not only are her credentials impeccable but she is blessed with an abundance of patience and compassion. She offers a free consultation and answered questions I didn't even know I had, plus she swiftly answered lots and lots of e-mails as I would think of something else. Basically I was still in shock from my wife passing but she made everything easy for me. She put together a last will and testament, a living will, a durable power of attorney, a designation of health care surrogate and completed and filed an enhanced life estate deed that is a huge bonus of living in Florida. Some websites and software that will not be named will tell you that this is easy and you can do them yourself. One tiny mistake and your plan can go up in smoke. That's why you want a professional with the experience not to make mistakes that you wouldn't know about until it's too late. Especially if you're the surviving spouse you want everything air tight.

We came to Christine for an Estate Plan and Hippa form for our son who is going to college. Christine explained everything in great detail and answered all our questions (some more than once) Her knowledge, patience, and demeanor made us feel like more of a family member than client. We would highly... recommend Christine. She is "our lawyer"

We were treated very well by this law office. They explained everything to us prior to signing. Helped us through the process which can be very arduous when you are planning who will take your children and who will tend to your children after you're gone. Christine O'Neill was very professional and e...asy to work with. All the rest of the staff were very courteous and polite.

Christine O'Neil handled our legal needs with great knowledge and professionalism. She took time to explain things fully, sometimes more than once as we are not well-versed in legal terminology. We feel blessed to have a caring, personable professional in Christine to work with and advocate for us. ...
