This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Estate Closing Made Easy

My family hired Carol Nolan to work through our father's estate after his passing earlier this year. Since we knew absolutely nothing about the complicated process we were thrilled to have someone as patient as Carol explain each step and walk us through to the end. The process was painless, the es...tate closed in the time she's predicted and for the price she had quoted. I would definitely recommend Carol Nolan's services to anyone, she's a true professional.

I refer Carol to clients and family

As a professional care manager I strive to provide the best for the individuals and families I serve. I know that in referring to Carol I am referring to the best. I understand that my referrals are a reflection of me and my company. I have every confidence that Carol's work bolsters my credibilit...y with clients.

Honest, Professional, Knowledgeable- Expert in Elder Care!!

Seeking an elder care attorney to handle rather unusual business for a relative of mine, I found Carol. Within the first 20 minutes of meeting her, I knew I found the right person to deal with the "mess" I had to clear up for my aunt. Carol helped me to organize aunt's affairs, clean up/clear up ou...tstanding issues, and be able to move forward to getting my aunt the best options available and decide how/where to go, i.e. next step. Carol was honest enough to tell me when there things I could do things myself and save money instead of having her do them. It turns out there were many things I could do myself. I found this quality amazing! An attorney who didn't want every dime I had? I have known many attorneys over the past 30 years having personally dealt with 5 of them and known many, many more having been formerly married to the son an attorney on the bar association. I found Carol to be VERY different from most, not all, of the attorneys I have come to know. It is refreshing to know that we do have some good, honest, caring people in this world like Carol who care about the people she represents. I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone seeking council or advise in Estate planning or Elder care. She is truly an expert in the field!

Great attorney

Carol worked with us to find a nursing home for our mother and to apply for Medicaid; there were no problems or issues and my mother was approved for Medicaid. She helped us with protecting her assets that was lawful. She was very honest and up front with us and seems to really care about her clie...nts. We have recommended her to our friends and neighbors

Excellent, Trustworthy Attorney

Carol will get the job done and you can trust her. I talked to many attorneys before I chose Carol and I am glad I took my time and made the right decision.

"I endorse this lawyer's work. I have known Carol Nolan for 17 years both personally and professionally. She has assisted me with legal matters. I have also spent time in her office to witness her professionalism. She is proficient and very knowledgable in estate planning and probate law. She provides excellent client services. The highest recommendation I can give is to say, if I had an estate issue I could not handle, she would be the attorney I would retain to assist me."
