Reviews

We retained the services of O'Connell Law and Tiff, specifically, to assist us with our estate planning. We own a family business, so there were some significant tax implications that we needed to be sure were addressed properly. From start to finish we were extremely pleased with Tiff's exemplary service, attention to detail and knowledge of the law and applicable tax codes. We feel prepared and are comforted by the fact that we know our three children will be taken care of when the time comes.

When seeking a lawyer to tackle the daunting task of Estate Planning, the firm of O’Connell Law LLC was recommended by our financial advisor. Our first meeting coincided with the onset of the COVID19 pandemic and necessitated doing so “virtually”. In spite of the sudden transition from business-as-usual, all of our interactions were handled with competence, compassion, and elegance. Tiffany A. O’Connell walked us through the initial phase, simplifying each step and answering all our questions with warmth and wisdom. The depth of her understanding of the law was evident as she deftly led us through the weeds of details. She shared the screen with Faiza Z. Chaudry who added to her comments. A meeting schedule was established, and we had the benefit of Faiza’s expertise at following sessions. Faiza was meticulous in her presentation and explanations, and she, too, answered all our questions professionally and with obvious eagerness to help us understand each detail. Every step was completed efficiently and on time. Even the “drive by” signing of all the final documents was safely planned, and easily accomplished. We were thrilled with the Estate Planning Portfolio that holds ALL our documents: Our Living Trust; Will: Funding Instructions; Power of Attorney; Trustee Affidavit; Health Care; Memorial Instructions; Personal Effects; and ”Other Documents” that include a “Schedule of Procedures” for hospital emergencies, along with suggestions for a “Go Bag” should we have to be hospitalized in times of COVID restrictions. We are so pleased to be able to recommend the O’Connell Law Group. We look forward to a lifetime connection with this team of lawyers: They have given us, and our children, the priceless gift of peace of mind.

For thirty years my husband managed our finances. My eyes crossed every time he tried to get me involved. I’m not proud of that but it came back to haunt me when he got ill and it all fell to me. Eventually I woke up to the fact that his illness meant that I needed to redo all my estate planning because he could no longer be my backup trustee, health care proxy, etc. My neighbor recommended O’Connell Law to help me, and I am so grateful. I had so much trepidation about it but Tiff and her associate Faiza put me at ease immediately. They have the process down to a science; they are able to break estate planning into small understandable pieces. They are as much wonderful teachers as they are excellent attorneys. They take their time and made me feel like all my questions were good ones. They followed up with me to make sure I was able to carry out the steps of funding my Trust. I feel comfortable asking follow up questions. Working with O’Connell Law has been a great experience and I would highly recommend them to everyone.

Tiff immediately established an effective working relationship with my husband and me. She proactively shared her extensive knowledge and expertise regarding wills and trusts. All of this was achieved during the pandemic. Through Tiff’s leadership and delegation, our wills and trust were completed to our complete satisfaction, when much of society came to a halt.

Tif did a fabulous job of educating us on all of the ins and outs of wills, trusts and health care proxy's. She put everything in terms we could understand and gave us options to work with. I would highly recommend Tif and her staff!

Gold standard of law firms! Tiffany and her legal team are intelligent, kind, caring, efficient and wonderful! It is a pleasure to find this level of competence and understanding in the world today. It is always a joy to interact with this fine professional team.

I was impressed by the professionalism and personal touch of Tiff and everyone at the firm! I gladly recommend their services to all those needing legal assistance.

I needed to settle an estate case where my father had passed away overseas where he had retired. My mother had passed away a few years prior and my father had a checking account in Massachusetts that had no beneficiaries listed, so my siblings and I needed to go through the probate process to gain access to the account. I live in the Midwest, but the case needed to be settled in a Massachusetts court, so I went on line and randomly picked Tiffany O'Connell and her team based on clients' reviews. I didn't know what I was getting myself into, but I was lucky to have picked her firm. I never had the pleasure of meeting Tiffany in person, because all paperwork was handled through emails. It was a complex process due to the nature of the case, but the firm worked very efficiently to get the case settled as expeditiously as possible. If there was ever a question about paperwork, I would get an answer almost immediately from Tiffany herself or one of her paralegals. It goes without saying that Tiffany O'Connell Law LLC is a team of true professionals who work tirelessly for their clients. They're also a very friendly bunch whom I give my highest recommendation for future clients who need representation. Thank you Tiffany!

My wife and I are in our mid-30s and went to see Tiff to create an estate plan. Tiff made the process stress-free and actually pretty enjoyable. (As enjoyable as planning for your own death can be.) Her office is gorgeous, her staff friendly, and Tiff herself is extremely professional, but also upbeat and friendly. I would recommend her without hesitation.

My wife and I had not updated our estate plans in quite some time and we were referred to see Tiffany. Tiffany takes the time to ask great questions, she covers all the bases, and then uses a method to lay it all out in front of you that helps you clearly understand what your plan is, how it works and who is or will be involved. We no longer felt lost in documents! We found her team welcoming and helpful as well.

Attorney O'Connell Is an extraordinary person. She knows the system, the law, and how to best minimize both emotional and financial impact to her client! She kept me informed and educated every step of the way! I know I was 'guided' to this person for help and closure of my mother's estate. No other lawyer would even bother to show 'genuine' compassion and understanding for his/her client. With no referrals because we live thousands of miles away, and sight unseen, my daughter and I met up with Ms. O'Connell for an initial consultation. We were guided step by step even at that first consult! Because of her down to earth and extreme patience, I knew what needed to be done and how it would be done, before we even signed anything! I was so relieved about the strange process and Massachusetts laws. What a relief and Godsend Ms. O'Connell has been for us. You may go to a big law firm and get one of their specialized staff attorneys and be lost in their system, especially if you aren't a 'high roller' client. This is Not so with Ms. O'Connell. She is 'professionally personal'! Even at her own sacrifice of time and (with me) extreme patience. I don't know ANYONE who could truly say that their lawyer was as genuinely concerned with the emotional AND financial impact of estate/probate planning is to their clients! I know Ms. O'Connell sacrificed her own personal time and energies, above and beyond all that fine print in a contract! I will forever be grateful.

My wife and I wanted to create an estate plan to protect our young family in the event of an emergency and after a little searching online came upon Tiffany. We had an initial complimentary face-to-face meeting to discuss our situation and afterwards decided to continue working with Tiffany and trusting her to take care of us. Simply put she was amazing. Thorough, gregarious, and extremely informative, Tiffany far exceeded our expectations and made the entire estate planning process an enjoyable one. Each meeting we had with Tiffany not only further solidified our estate plan but it also educated us on the nuances of wills, trusts, and powers of attorney without ever feeling takled down to. It never felt like Tiffany was trying to sell us anything, rather she wanted to ensure that our priorities were met for as little money as possible. Furthermore each meeting ran over time which wasn't a problem for Tiffany or us because we were eager to learn, and just goes to show her commitment to her clients and taking care of their needs. I would absolutley recommend Tiffany to anyone looking to secure their family's future, particularly young couples that aren't sure exactly what to do but know that they should do something. She will educate you without preaching and then ensure that everything makes sense before going forward. We had a great experience with her and will most certainly continue to work with her in the future.
