Elder Law 50%

We plan to go on vacation. We plan to have dinner with friends. But when it comes to planning for how we will be taken care of as we advance in age, many of us prefer not to think about it, believing it will somehow all work out. We hope we never need long term care; we hope our family will always be there to take care of us. Hope is not a plan, however, and unfortunately, when when it comes to long term care planning, those who fail to plan are clearly the ones who risk losing the most.

Wills and Living Wills 50%

Every adult should have a will to specify what should happen to his/her property at death. A properly drafted will can spare your loved ones uncertainty and stress in a time of grief.

Dad's documents

We were very satisfied with the work and advice we were provided. We also appreciated the patience that was demonstrated and understanding of issues that may arise while working with a more senior clientele.

Posted by Linda | May 26, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Wills & Living Wills

Will and other events

Mr. O'Brien was extremely thorough when going over the requests and questions I had concerning my will. I am divorced, no living children, lots of nieces and nephews some of whom have indicated they expected to receive my estate. This needed to be handled delicately and Mr. O'Brien worded my will so ...no one can expect but what I chose to leave to specific relatives. I truly appreciate him making certain all of my requests meet legal requirements .

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
