About
I've been passionate about helping seniors and their families create estate plans that work for their unique situations since 1992. I sold my firm in 2016 and in October 2020 opened a small virtual office and am enjoying being able to spend more one-on-one time with clients albeit via Zoom. I've combined my practice with my newfound love of painting (see me on Instagram @margaretmadison.phelan.com. As a solo, all calls are generally returned on Thursdays and appointments scheduled for Tuesdays.. Cancel

We were recommended to Margaret by another attorney. We were a little nervous, since we are new in town and had several issues, including a blended family and future health concerns. We have been so blessed by Margaret and her team. She has patiently answered questions (sometimes several times), discussed options, provided excellent education on difficult topics (e.g. long term care insurance, Medicaid, Medicare, special needs trusts, elder care planning, durable medical power of attorney, etc, etc). This puts our minds at ease that plans are laid out and specified in case one or when both of us gets very ill, injured or dies. Margaret has a very laid back, patient style, which puts us at ease and is very approachable, empathetic and caring. Difficult blended family issues are raised and discussed, she facilitates the difficult discussions and navigates the process so that we understand the options and "can think it over." She is very concerned about quality of life issues and family relationships, which we really appreciate.
Margaret has been my trusted lawyer for over 20 years. I have called on her help often during this time, occasionally when I have been a state of crisis and confusion. She has always been available to offer me well reasoned, prudent and thoughtful advice. She has helped me with the winding up of an estate and she continues to advise me regarding ongoing, complex Special Needs Trust matters. She is knowledgeable, experienced, creative and caring. I feel very fortunate to have had Margaret 's help and advice over these many years.
Attorney Phelan and her entire office were professional, friendly and flexible. She did a remarkably good job of educating me regarding wills, trusts and power of attorney. I completed the process of creating a trust feeling confident that my affairs are in order and my family and I can rely Attorney Phelan's firm when we need them.
Excellent attorney as well as very knowledgeable. She is a joy to work with. I feel her services and information are very well explained. I also find her very personable as well as professional.
Although our estate was small, it was confusing to us. Margaret made the process simple, taking time to answer our questions so everything went smoothly.
Having had both parents and an uncle receive assistance from Phelan & Webber, it was time for us to prepare our estate needs. Every meeting with this firm was professional and we were cared for very well. Every aspect of our needs was explained thoroughly and expertly.
Margaret oversaw a fairly complex life issue and supporting documents for my parents. She was just what you want in counsel. She knew her field, listened well, and provided thoughtful guidance to protect them and suppose their needs. And pricing was fair and transparent. We had met another attorney in this field who was awful so we were delighted with Margarets help.
My family contacted Margaret Phelan for information on power of attorney and estate planning. She carefully explained all available options, tradeoffs, and costs. She even brought preliminary documents to my parent’s house for signing when my mother was ill. The firm handled probate after my mother’s death and then drafted a revocable living trust, will, power of attorney, and other documents for my father. All documents were written clearly, which left no room for misinterpretation. She provided detailed information on how to correctly implement the trust. Everything that she told us about the execution and performance of the trust was accurate. I would highly recommend this professional, competent firm to anyone.
Ms. Phelan and her staff are kind, knowledge- able and professional people who help you make sound judgements on important mat- ters. We also love the fact they are dog lovers and have wonderful senses of humor.
We hired Margaret after a consultation, very thorough, walked us thru the process of qualifying our Mother for Medicad, answered all of our questions. Her office made it so easy with timely updates on when we should move assets, etc. I would hire her again in a heartbeat. I have recommended several friends to her.

Difficult blended family issues are raised and discussed, she facilitates the difficult discussions and navigates the process so that we understand the options and "can think it over." She is very concerned about quality of life issues and family relationships, which we really appreciate.
Margaret has been my trusted lawyer for over 20 years. I have called on her help often during this time, occasionally when I have been a state of crisis and confusion. She has always been available to offer me well reasoned, prudent and thoughtful advice. She has helped me with the winding up of an estate and she continues to advise me regarding ongoing, complex Special Needs Trust matters. She is knowledgeable, experienced, creative and caring. I feel very fortunate to have had Margaret 's help and advice over these many years.
Attorney Phelan and her entire office were professional, friendly and flexible. She did a remarkably good job of educating me regarding wills, trusts and power of attorney. I completed the process of creating a trust feeling confident that my affairs are in order and my family and I can rely Attorney Phelan's firm when we need them.
Excellent attorney as well as very knowledgeable. She is a joy to work with. I feel her services and information are very well explained. I also find her very personable as well as professional.
Although our estate was small, it was confusing to us. Margaret made the process simple, taking time to answer our questions so everything went smoothly.
Having had both parents and an uncle receive assistance from Phelan & Webber, it was time for us to prepare our estate needs. Every meeting with this firm was professional and we were cared for very well. Every aspect of our needs was explained thoroughly and expertly.
Margaret oversaw a fairly complex life issue and supporting documents for my parents. She was just what you want in counsel. She knew her field, listened well, and provided thoughtful guidance to protect them and suppose their needs. And pricing was fair and transparent. We had met another attorney in this field who was awful so we were delighted with Margarets help.
My family contacted Margaret Phelan for information on power of attorney and estate planning. She carefully explained all available options, tradeoffs, and costs. She even brought preliminary documents to my parent’s house for signing when my mother was ill. The firm handled probate after my mother’s death and then drafted a revocable living trust, will, power of attorney, and other documents for my father. All documents were written clearly, which left no room for misinterpretation. She provided detailed information on how to correctly implement the trust. Everything that she told us about the execution and performance of the trust was accurate. I would highly recommend this professional, competent firm to anyone.
Ms. Phelan and her staff are kind, knowledge- able and professional people who help you make sound judgements on important mat- ters. We also love the fact they are dog lovers and have wonderful senses of humor.
We hired Margaret after a consultation, very thorough, walked us thru the process of qualifying our Mother for Medicad, answered all of our questions. Her office made it so easy with timely updates on when we should move assets, etc. I would hire her again in a heartbeat. I have recommended several friends to her.
We were recommended to Margaret by another attorney. We were a little nervous, since we are new in town and had several issues, including a blended family and future health concerns. We have been so blessed by Margaret and her team. She has patiently answered questions (sometimes several times), discussed options, provided excellent education on difficult topics (e.g. long term care insurance, Medicaid, Medicare, special needs trusts, elder care planning, durable medical power of attorney, etc, etc). This puts our minds at ease that plans are laid out and specified in case one or when both of us gets very ill, injured or dies. Margaret has a very laid back, patient style, which puts us at ease and is very approachable, empathetic and caring.
