Emily McNeil was recommended to us for developing our estate plan. We are very grateful for that. What we thought would be a grueling process turned out to be smooth and peaceful. Emily was easy to work with - skillfully and simply gathered all the necessary information needed for a comprehensive plan. Emily showed us her knowledge, vast experience, expertise and patience in her answers to our multitude of questions. We were so impressed by her strong work ethic, organization skills and responsiveness. Within a few short weeks we had our estate plan documents. What a relief to have that done and done by a very kind and pleasant person!

Each family is different and I got the feeling that Emily cared and payed attention and interpreted my intentions well -- in the legal language that is necessary without it being over off-putting for me. We worked remotely and it helps to be comfortable on computers although I'm certain that process isn't necessary to get the work done. Emily explained things well and seemed to understand what I needed to get clearer about.

Great with estate planning for my husband and I. She'd done my plan a few years ago, but it needed to be revised once I got married. She was kind, efficient, understanding, smart and prompt. Couldn't have asked for anything better. Definitely worth the drive to Framingham.

We were very impressed with Emily and her ability to simplify a complex process and help us understand the details of an estate plan. She was very flexible and accommodating to our scheduling and mobility needs. She was able to research, track down, and successfully address a few challenges with real estate titles. We found her to be very pleasant, professional, warm, and friendly. We recommend Emily very highly.

Emily made the process of completing a Will, Trust, and Health Care Proxy easy! Having just had our first child, it was important to get these important documents taken care of just in case. She had great expertise in this area and made the whole thing a breeze! I highly recommend her services.
