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.

Tamara not only was very professional, but she was very compassionate about my situation. She found and made necessary changes to my agreement that may have otherwise gone unnoticed. Thank you Tamara. I would definately refer you to a friend.

My father referred me to this firm and Tamara took my case. I could not have been happier with the service she provided. Tamara made sure that I (not knowing anything about the law in this area) was not taken advantage of. If my ex-spouses lawyer had half the knowledge/integrity Tamara does, it woul...
"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."
"I endorse this lawyer. Ms. Marshall has an unparalleled reputation among her colleagues for being a zealous advocate for her clients, while still maintaining the most professional of relationships with opposing counsel."
"Tamara is a top-notch attorney in not only the area of family law, but in all aspects of litigation. She is intelligent and a fierce advocate for her clients. Constantly successful in all aspects of her practice, I would recommend her to anyone seeking an attorney for family law and litigation matters."
"Tamara routinely combines her knowledge of the law and ability to connect with others to provide outstanding representation to her clients. She works diligently and professionally on every case she handles, allowing clients who may be in difficult and emotional positions the opportunity to have their voices be heard."
"Attorney Marshall is an incredibly hardworking, smart attorney who is dedicated to her clients, respected by her fellow lawyers and judges and is involved in her community. I have full faith that anyone I refer to her will be well represented. In fact, several clients I have referred to Ms. Marshall report a high degree of satisfaction. I fully endorse Ms. Marshall."
