About Tamara
Biography
Practicing in the areas of Estate and Longevity Planning, and Residential Real Estate, my professional goal is to help people. I want to be part of a solution for my clients, not part of their problem.
To achieve this goal, I work with my clients to develop an estate plan that ensures their assets will be simply and efficiently distributed according to their wishes when they die, and also will be effectively managed for them during their lifetime if necessary.
Whether you are planning for your own longevity, assisting your aging parents, or you have a child who just turned 18 and is leaving the nest, I can help you identify what steps you need to take to ensure the legal documents are in place for whatever life throws your way. If you are asking yourself questions like:
“Do I need a trust?”
“What is a living trust?”
“What is the difference between a trust and a will?”
“Who needs a power of attorney?”
"How do I stay out of probate?”
I will answer those questions about “estate planning” in a simple and understandable way. Whether you have just received a negative diagnosis, or you are proactively planning for the long term, I have the knowledge and experience to address your legal needs with the empathy and compassion of a friend.
Please reach out to me when you are ready to get your legal ducks in a row.

Thanks Tamara!
I'm glad I chose TM as my attorney in both my circumstances. First with an adoption from a deadbeat dad went very smoothly. Then a divorce for the record books (approx. 2 months), couldn't have been a wiser choice. TM is very well versed in family law which why she was recommended to me in the firs...
Tamara Anne Marshall's Lawyer Endorsements
"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."

Constantly successful in all aspects of her practice, I would recommend her to anyone seeking an attorney for family law and litigation matters."
