Rory is thoughtful, thorough, and efficient in his work. His ability to simply and clearly explain the perspective benefits and challenges of the many estate planning options made choosing what was right for us a straight forward process. Being relatively young parents we have not had prior estate planning experience, and we appreciated Rory's patience and clarity in answering our many questions.

Rory was a huge help for us. A recent and tragic family event prompted us to search out guidance and assistance regarding our estate and trust. Rory was prompt and thorough explaining "legalize" to us and putting our plans into action.

Rory was prompt, respectful, and comprehensive in his legal assistance. His explanations and advice were clear and spot on. All manner of interactions - telephone, online video, in-person - were efficient and to the point. Logistics for setting these up were simple and easy.

I have properties in 3 states and was overwhelmed by what I should do with regard to my estate plan. After interviewing 3 other attorney's Rory Morse stood out as the one to do the job. He patiently listened to my concerns and situation and in short order we drew up a Trust and the related documents that put everything in place. I will definitely use him again and highly recommend this firm.

After losing a close relative to COVID-19 a probate issue surfaced which would have been very difficult to traverse without the appropriate knowledge and understanding of the relevant personal situation, greatly exacerbated by restrictive pandemic based logistical restraints. Rory took the time to fully understand the family situation and was able to quickly and efficiently put the process into motion. Calls and emails were always returned quickly. I was impressed enough with his handling of the probate situation that I hired him to help update my personal estate planning as well. I have no reservations about recommending his services to both family and friends.

Rory crafted an estate plan for my wife and I, and the experience went well beyond my expectations. Rory and team made every step in the process simple and we are walking away grateful that we found him! I would definitely recommend Rory to anyone who needs estate planning legal work done.

Mr. Morse represented me with the administration of my late brother's trust. Mr. Morse has the uncanny ability to be the consummate professional and at the same time be warm, understanding, patient, and compassionate. He went above and beyond many times to help me and answer all of my incessant questions. He was totally approachable and available whenever I needed him. Throughout the entire time of his representation, he always made me feel appreciated as a client. My husband and I will definitely be hiring Mr. Morse to do our trust and I am honored to enthusiastically recommend him.

Rory helped us amend our trust. He explained what we could legally change and made the appropriate changes where indicated. he was timely in sending us drafts of his work so that we could prove the changes before finalizing the document

After meeting and consulting with Rory Morse, I hired Rory to help me administer the trust when the trustor died and I became the trustee. Rory's expertise in estate law, his competence and responsiveness, his calmness and compassion made him an excellent guide and partner to navigate the complex steps of administering a trust and communicating with beneficiaries. Rory's legal assistant shares the same responsiveness and commitment to excellent work. In my case there were two trusts, eleven beneficiaries, and the need for very good legal and financial direction. With Rory's help, we are fulfilling the requirements of the trusts in record time and look forward to completing the administration of the trusts in the near future.
