We put off estate planning for too long – for various reasons, including “we don’t have enough assets”, “it’s uncomfortable to talk about”, “our blended family is too complicated”. Working with McCreary Law Office helped us move forward with confidence. Jana McCreary is organized, thoughtful and attentive. She listened to our concerns and explained how a solid estate plan, including powers of attorneys, medical directives, and other components can protect our wishes, assets, and legacy. I know her thoroughness caught things we would have never even thought of and will protect our heirs when the time comes. It was a pleasure working with her and is a great feeling to know this is taken care of. I highly recommend McCreary Law Office.

I highly recommend McCreary Law Office. Jana McCreary’s professionalism, organization, and overall demeanor, made the process of making my end of life plans, including the distribution of my assets, a straightforward and empowering experience. Jana’s work is thorough and thoughtful. She answered all my questions, helped me navigate through different scenarios, and explained different outcomes under the law. Jana listens and then provides guidance, as any good legal counsel should. I am confident that whenever it is time for me to depart this earth, the process of distributing my estate will be clear, easy, and straight forward, all because of Jana and the excellent work of McCreary Law Office.

Jana was a great choice for our estate planning needs. She was very knowledgeable, was easily able to explain things in simple terms, and talked a lot with us to make sure she knew exactly what we wanted/didn't want when it came to our plans. She was very thorough and easy to work with. We would highly recommend her!

Ms. McCreary set up a Revocable Living Trust to ensure my beloved pets would be cared for when the time comes for me to shuffle off this mortal coil. During the initial consult, she listened carefully to my concerns and indicated a clear understanding of what my goals for the trust were. Through a series of question/answer sessions and her own written questionnaires, she presented trust language that was almost exactly what I wanted (and needed). It was explained to me in "real people language" and questions I had were answered in the same manner (I never learned to speak "legal", so this was immensely helpful). At no time did she ever make assumptions as to what I wanted to accomplish... if it wasn't crystal clear, she contacted me to insure that my wishes were completely clear, so that they could be properly documented in the trust papers. This allowed us to take the language in the trust from "almost perfect" to "absolutely perfect" in a short period of time. While I obviously hope that the terms of the trust aren't going to come into play for some time, I sleep better knowing that if I get run over by a bus tomorrow, my beloved pets will be properly cared for afterwards.

Ms. McCreary prepared my Estate Plan in Spring of 2015. During the entire process I had total confidence in her abilities and was grateful for her guidance. She made me feel very comfortable talking about something that is very personal as well as sometimes emotional. Throughout the whole process I felt well informed and she was wonderful at explaining anything that I had questions about. I highly recommend her!!

Atty McCreary has a friendly and calming personality (rare among the trade), and has a way of making it easier to think about what needs to be assembled and planned for something most of us really don't want to think about (our own demise). She brings the various options - with pro's and con's - and listens to what her clients 'want' and helps them get it into the process in a binding format. She made what could have been an unnerving and unpleasant process less so.
