While not naturally as beautiful as a vase of flowers, art, or music, given a single focus in a field of law and strong concern for Plain English, so too can wills and trusts can be made (almost) beautiful.

"You seem to know something about law. I like that in an attorney." CONSULTING AND DEVELOPING OF
YOUR NEEDS CONSIDERED
WHAT WE MEAN BY PLAIN ENGLISH I want you, and your beneficiaries, to fully understand the estate planning choices you make. While the legal documents that articulate those wishes are technical (read tax) documents with much required precise language, they can also be written so people without a law degree can understand. That is my aim--with you in mind, I use simple explanations, eliminate needless words, and use a readable design to provide documents YOU can understand and feel comfortable with. |
What We Aim to Do
|
We focus on one area, do it well, and enjoy it. Clients like the focus we give this topic and our approach. Our approach differs from more general law firms where estate planning is just one of many things the firm does (and likely just a minor area for that firm).
With a sole focus, we're deeply committed to both skillful delivery of services and 'plain English.' Making documents easier to read, and thus understand, is important to us. Many people agree that our firm's work is innovative, direct, and a pleasure to deal with. We work hard to provide a high quality estate plan in Lexington, MA, providing last wills, living trusts, and related documents, as well as post death services. |

The experience you can expect
FROM your initial call to us when we pencil in a date and time for a meeting, having a welcoming, educational, and focused discussion (Our Meeting: What to expect), followed in a week by our telephone call to again confirm precise spelling of names and details, and then you signing legal documents in about 3-4 weeks. CONTINUING by us mailing to you at no charge --- after the documents are signed --- twice annual detailed reminders of life events that you may want to keep in mind about your estate planning. Simply put, things happen. We strive to provide a plain English and thoughtful experience. |
