What Our Clients are Saying

As our original Wills and Trust were developed about 15 years ago my wife and I decided it was time to update several items plus obtain advice relative to any changes in succession protocol.  Our former attorney had retired some time ago so we checked around with several resources for referrals and decided to engage with Tim O'Connor.  The bottom line is that we are 100% satisfied with every aspect of our experience with Tim and his staff.  We found Tim to be very personable, easy to communicate with and committed to listening to and providing advice on even our smallest concerns and questions.  Every communication be it by telephone, email or in person was crisp and timely.
