What Clients Say
“Ellen was readily available, precise, responsive, and focused on creating an estate plan that was a personal fit for us. She was complete, thorough and showed respect for our budget and time. Ellen cares very much about her clients and doing what is best for them, and she has a strong sense of integrity and ethics. We feel safe and secure in Ellen’s hands.”“Ellen is very warm and friendly and most importantly can be on the wavelength of the ordinary person. She’s very clear and good at explaining things. She’s very thorough. You feel very ‘taken care of’.”
“It was such a great pleasure working with you. You made us feel very comfortable and helped us feel good about protecting our future and assets. Thank you.”
“I was especially grateful for the prompt reply to any concerns and questions we had, and to your sensitivity to our personal feelings and kind response to them.”
“This is the estate planning lawyer to go with. We worked with Ellen for our estate plan and were thoroughly pleased. She was very patient and answered many questions, explaining complicated details until we were satisfied. She makes the process easy with to-do checklists, her communication is excellent with direct phone and email access, and when it comes to signing she is a notary and brings in witnesses for you. I consulted with three other estate planning attorneys during my initial search in the Sudbury/Wayland/Framingham area, and am happy we chose Ellen. Her fees are in line with the others but her customer service, attention to detail, and follow-up puts her ahead of the rest.”
“I am most appreciative of the speed in which the process was completed. I know that I should have done all of this months ago.”
“We appreciated the interest Ellen took in our lives and the way we structure them. It took away that ‘ticking clock’ feeling, even though the fees were in line with other lawyers. We’re glad we found you and intend to recommend you to others.”
“From the moment I first arrived in the office, I felt that I had a personal friend who wanted what was best for me. I thought I was having ‘a will done’, but I was given so much more.”
“It was an easy process because it was so organized. There were easy to follow forms and easy to use checklists.”
“You answer questions with infinite patience. You make us feel looked after-a great feeling.”
