Excellent Estate Planning

Jane and her team did a wonderful job with our family trust. We had several properties and a blended family where we would eventually have to disperse our assets. They made the process easy and efficient. The final trust package was thorough and made us feel we covered all the bases.

Family Trust & Special Needs Trust

The McNamara Law Firm is a great firm for estate planning. Jane did a wonderful job setting up a family trust and a special needs trust. Estate planning can seem like a big task. They break it down into bite size pieces that are easy to understand.

Excellent from start to finish

Jane took time to get to know us, our needs and our concerns as we set up our family trust. She answered all of our questions and made the process clear and uncomplicated. Her staff is friendly and professional and we were amazed how quickly our trust was completed without a glitch.

5 star review for Jane McNamara

I sought Jane's expertise to create a trust 6 years ago and then just recently had to amend it. Jane and her staff are excellent, caring, and conscientious. Jane never made me feel rushed. Her staff was excellent in communicating instructions for me, setting up a couple of zoom appointments, etc. She... is very knowledgeable in the areas of trust and estate law and I highly recommend her!

The BEST for Estate Planning

McNamara Law Firm is THE top of the line firm for trusts, estate planning and Elder Care. I was in a fix after my mom passed and her usual law firm had no interest in helping me navigate the convoluted world of family trusts. Jane's firm swept in and took care of everything. Not only does Jane make i...t easy to understand, her Paralegal Miriam is the hands on "fixer." Between the two of them they were an exemplary team. They were so good when my wife and I needed to set up our own living trust, we went straight to them, and they once again proved they were the platinum standard. Yet their rates are competitive. I could not recommend a law firm more.
