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.

Simply the Best!

Let me start by saying, having found Jane & her team has been an absolute blessing to my Mom & our family. This time in life can be very stressful and confusing to navigate. With Jane's compassion and knowledge as an Elder Rights Attorney, she was able to provide our Mother with a safe & secure Tru...st & Life Plan for her future. Her team is extremely dedicated to following through with every detail. Throughout one of the most difficult times of our lives, Jane and her team have been there every step of the way. We are so grateful for the wonderful care and respect our Mom has been shown.

If you are looking for an Estate Planner here is one I highly recommend.

My husband and I used the McNamara Law Firm years ago to do our Living Trust. When he passed away they were very kind and understanding as they helped me take care of the things that were needed. Since then I have had a few questions and every time I've called I was treated very professionally and re...ceived answers. I have attended a few of her seminar's also and am impressed with how she keeps up on ALL of the changing laws for the elderly. I would recommend her to anyone that needs an Estate Planning attorney.

An excellent Law Firm

My husband and I set up an irrevocable trust for my mother with the McNamara Law Firm after my father passed away in 2009. Since then, Jane McNamara and her team have been invaluable to us and have helped us through several difficult legal situations. Everyone at the firm is knowledgeable and profe...ssional but, at the same time, very personable and caring. Jane and her staff are always available to answer questions or give advice when any issues arise. I have a business relationship with the firm but I also have a friendship with Jane and her wonderful team. I can give the McNamara Law Firm the highest recommendation.
