Living Trusts covering our entire family.

On three separate occasions, my wife & I have used Jane McNamara Law Firm for family member's living trusts, including our own. Each time we have had excellent communication and service. We thank Jane and the entire staff for their friendly, professional guidance. Randall & Peggy

Highly Recommended!

I needed to do my estate planning and reached out to Jane's office. Within hours I had received a reply and I was happy to find that everyone in her office is extremely professional, friendly and knowledgeable. Estate planning can be a heavy task and legal matters can be intimidating. I can't ...say enough about how easy and stress free Jane and her team made the entire process for me. I could not be happier about selecting them for my law firm. I had a good feeling when I found Jane on the internet and it definitely paid off. Highly, highly recommended!!!

A professional, knowledgeable, supportive and authentic ensemble team.legal team

I hired the McNamara Law Firm to create my trust as well as a supplemental needs trust for my son. I trusted the number of educator friends who referred me to Jane. Her professional ensemble team of Karen, Miriam and Gina walked me through the complicated process in a genuine, comprehensible and supp...ortive manner. This was a very difficult time for my family and myself after losing my wife and then the pandemic hit. Jane and her team educated me and gave me strength to pursue the establishment of both trusts with their knowledge, support and integrity. As a result I have personal peace knowing that my decisions I made with their advice and guidance will benefit my children and they will endure for generations. Jane and her team have my highest respect, esteem and recommendation. We now have an enduring lasting partnership.

Mrs.

I am forever grateful to Jane and her excellent staff. I hired the firm when I was in an extremely difficult situation with my husband's dementia care. Jane was calm and so knowledgeable guiding our family in decisions we needed to make. When contacting the firm, I received prompt, clear responses.... The firm's expertise in elder law and estate planning has lifted a heavy burden from me and given me peace in navigating the complexities of caring for my husband. This is a superb law firm.

The law firm's expertise is awesome

I retained the McNamara Law in November 2016. This firm has helped me tremendously in dealing with my husband's illnesses of Parkinson's disease and dementia. Jane and her staff have given me the peace of mind that I can actually have a good life even with Charles not living with me anymore. I hav...e and will continue to always thank them. I refer the firm to anyone that is in need of their expertise with these issues.
