Jessica and her team did a fantastic job. They were extremely helpful in walking me through the process and describing how the documents work together to ensure my wishes are carried out.
My experience of Jessica Marchegiano is that she is experienced, knowledgeable, thorough, professional, and pleasant. What more could you ask for?
I met Jessica after Cassaday & Company hired her to consult with their clients so investment strategies could be streamlined. I had an outdated estate packet from my military service days that had been prepared by a fellow veteran. Jessica and her team brought everything up to date, included more relevant documents, and made it all simple to review and update when needed. Jessica listened intently, and remembered details from an appointment months prior. I strongly recommend using her services. She's definitely worth it!
I am fortunate that JM Law is associated with my financial planning firm, Cassaday. Although my Living Trust was fairly simple, Jessica worked closely with me to cover all aspects needed for a thorough document. Since we were working together at the beginning of the pandemic, she was able to complete our work remotely, which was wonderful. I continue our working relationship in keeping all of my documents current. I would highly recommend Jessica and her firm for all of your estate-planning needs!
Working with JM Law was an excellent experience. Jessica Marchegiano was able to take a confusing exercise (reworking trust documents) and made it simple and easy to understand. She was always responsive to our calls. She listened to our questions and provided good advice. She organized our trust documents into a binder that is easy to read and locate specific information. Definitely an excellent resource that we will continue to use.
Jessica and her team were a great resource for our estate planning needs and helped us build a plan that gives us the comfort that all our wishes and family needs will be met should anything happen to my husband and I, or one of us for that matter. The team was extremely responsive and very professional. Jessica is very knowledgeable and made it easy for us to understand her recommendations. Legal language can be quite confusing, but she took the time to walk us through all pages of our plans and explain clearly how everything would work. She also recommended professionals to help us implement our estate plan, which made the process even more seamless.
Ms. Marchegiano redid all of my estate documents and pointed out important facts I had not considered regarding my estate and implications for my heirs. She set up my trust and my estate documents are the most organized of any lawyer I’ve used in the past. She is very responsive and extremely knowledgeable. Highly recommended.
About a year ago JM Law provided us with a complete set of Trust and related documents. The process was very well organized and designed to ensure complete professionalism, excellent feedback, exceptional service and detailed attention to our needs and particular concerns. It was, in short, a first class experience and one that ended in complete confidence in the product. I’d recommend these people to friends and family in a New York minute.
After serving as executor for my mother's estate and having to 1) find a lawyer in NY to assist with this, 2) find all of her various accounts as there wasn't any consolidated information (in fact, I found one account a year after the estate closed!) and 3) having to go through probate, I decided that I should make it easier on my kids to handle my estate in the future. My financial advisor provided a reference for Jessica Marchegiano, ESQ. I had a brief introductory meeting with her and several other estate attorneys and decided she would be a great fit. Luckily for me, she was hired by my financial advisor's firm before I finalized my decision. She professionally handled all aspects of my trust providing advice as necessary with specific questions, she assisted with the transfer of my house title to the trust as well with all the necessary accounts within my advisor's firm, and provided me with a complete document, including the pourover will and medical power of attorney, within a few weeks. It was well organized and easy to follow. She was very easy to work with and even offered to meet with my kids (the beneficiaries) should they come to town. I will periodically review it and contact her for updates should they be necessary. I would not hesitate to contact Ms. Marchegiano for at least an introductory meeting if you are considering whether a trust is the right choice for you.
Ms. Marchegiano helped us update our estate planning documents in December 2019. The last time they were updated was December 2005. This finished product was very timely, thorough, and complete. We were (and remain) very satisfied with her work. She is a great asset to Cassaday and Company and we look forward to working with her in the future. We have piece of mind--a wonderful gift.
