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, 2023 We 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, 2023 The 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, 2023 I 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, 2023 A pleasure to work with The Village Law Firm on estate planning and drawing up my will. Thoughtful staff and easy process.Romy OttOctober 7, 2023 I 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, 2023 Shannon 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.
