What Our Clients Say
Kelle CruzDecember 30, 2023We had an excellent experience with the Village Law Firm. Everyone we interacted with was knowledgeable, helpful, and patient. They walked us through scenarios which we had never considered and gave us plenty of time and just enough advice to make difficult decisions.anne christensenDecember 19, 2023We were dreading (who isn’t?) making our will. The Village Law Firm made it easy (although I’m not going to lie, there’s a lot of paper work involved but that’s not their fault!) for us. They are very professional and knowledgeable and walked us through every step. I’m so glad we worked with them!Paget WalkerDecember 14, 2023The Village Law Firm was incredibly efficient and professional throughout the process of creating my LLC, and Will and Trust,, beginning with consultation to execution of the documents. Although they conduct most of their meetings remotely, and move quickly through each step, I appreciated their gracious manner throughout.Jeeyoung ChoiNovember 21, 2023I would highly recommend Shannon and her team for your estate planning needs. They were so organized and simplified the process for us. Shannon gave sound advice and pointed us to key areas to protect our interests. We are so very grateful!Katherine DegnOctober 17, 2023A pleasure to work with The Village Law Firm on estate planning and drawing up my will. Thoughtful staff and easy process.Romy OttOctober 7, 2023I think Shannon and her team are the most talented estate lawyers on the East Coast! I am married to a lawyer and I was referred to them with high praise by my sister-in-law who is herself married to a lawyer. We sought a referral when we realized we needed help with estate planning. All of us still talk about how Shannon and her Village Law Firm provided incredible service, acumen, and also incredible empathy and enthusiasm for what they do so well. Shannon did our consultation and she is so warm and personable while remaining extremely thorough and detailed. They have a very reasonably priced package to set up the whole gamut that parents of three young kids need: living trust, power of attorney, health care proxy, etc., personalized to our situation and cultural considerations. Also pleasantly surprising during this process was the support we received to put these new legal documents into action, namely, how to move different types of assets and bank accounts into these trusts, when to do it, how to do it etc. As a team to get you to your end point, they work very well together. Estate planning is such an important thing to do and they took what could be anxiety provoking and simply gave us peace of mind. I can't say enough good things about them.Erin ArdleighSeptember 7, 2023Shannon and her firm have helped many of my clients with their estate planning needs. They are experienced, compassionate, efficient and reasonably priced. I highly recommend The Village Law Firm.Dillon KimAugust 11, 2023The Village Law Firm is the place to go for all of your legal estate planning needs. Shannon and her team are fantastic. They provide top tier estate planning advice with even the most complicated estate situations and do so with such personal care and attention. If you look into Shannon’s background, you will see a standout legal education and career prior to starting TVLF with her team. It takes only one meeting to feel completely comfortable that your estate plan will be done correctly and efficiently. 5 stars!Gloria SacchiJuly 27, 2023We were referred to Shannon McNulty of The Village Law Firm by our accountant for our estate planning needs. What a great referral! Shannon walked us through the process, explained to us the reasons for having Trusts vs Wills, how our properties should be in Title, etc. She was very knowledgeable and professional. We highly recommend Shannon for any and all of your estate planning needs. Gloria SacchiJudith CowleyJuly 26, 2023As a widow, I was not at all looking forward to updating my will and other legal documents. The law firms that I had worked with previously were stuffy and impersonal, so I was expecting a similar experience this time. My experience with The Village Law Firm could not have been more different. From the first phone call, everyone was friendly and empathetic. Talking to the lawyer was almost like talking to a good friend, but one who was an expert in all estate planning matters! One of the reasons I chose The Village Law Firm is that they focus only on estate planning, so I was comfortable that they would have the necessary expertise in this particular area of law – and I wasn’t disappointed. Not only did they help put the right documents in place, but they went the extra mile to make sure everything would work if needed. They even dealt directly with my bank (which had put me on hold forever) to retitle my accounts. The firm also has a great service to store my documents and other important information, so that if something happens to me, all my family would have to do is call the law firm, and their team will provide everything that’s needed. I could not be happier with my experience with The Village Law Firm. Thanks to their help, I have peace of mind, knowing that I have a solid plan in place to make things as easy as possible for my family.
