Tamara Marshall

Tamara was recommended to assist us with our Estate Planning. She stepped us through all of our options with thorough explanations. She made this difficult process easy for us. Tamara was very knowledgeable and pleasant to work with. She was always available for additional questions. I would ...highly recommend her for any estate planning needs.

Review for Tamara Marshall

I was referred to Tamara to update my revocable trust, estate plan and documents, and to assist in placing my assets into trust. Working with her was a sincere pleasure in an area where I needed expertise and guidance. Immediately, she understood the details of my concerns, discussed alternative es...tate planning options, and soon furnished a comprehensive set of documents for review. The process went very smoothly and I am grateful to have had the opportunity to meet and work with Tamara. With her broad range of legal experience, I would certainly call on her in the future.

Really Great Experience

Tamara was an excellent resource for establishing an irrevocable trust. She was well organized, communicated exactly what she would do, exactly what we needed to provide and exactly what we needed to do. As a result the trust was created and funded quickly. What I thought would be a long drawn out... and complex process was quite the opposite.

Divorce Attorney

Tamara was a an incredible lawyer and most of a all, a great person who acted on my behalf during my difficult divorce. She really understood what I was going thru and helped me every step of the way. She was very responsive, and I never felt like I was put on the back burner or forgotten about. I wo...uld highly recommend her, and she definitely was a pleasure to work with.

Tamara Marshall

Tamara not only was very professional, but she was very compassionate about my situation. She found and made necessary changes to my agreement that may have otherwise gone unnoticed. Thank you Tamara. I would definately refer you to a friend.

"I highly recommend Tamara. I have had numerous cases with her over the year and find her to be great to work with. She is a fantastic advocate for her clients but does so in a way that does not cause needless fees or extra work that delays the case. She is knowledgeable and I refer her cases in elder law as well."

  • 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.
