As you may be aware, Congress is working on a reconciliation bill (the "Bill") which has tax components that could affect your current estate plan. Click for full article. As estate-planning professionals, we help clients plan in the event of incapacity, not just death. While clients may come into our offices worried about death and taxes, we educate them that equally worrisome, and sometimes far more legally complicated, is incapacity.

My wife and I had Moira develop a Living Trust/Will and we can't say enough about her knowledge, professionalism and compassion about all aspects of the experience. She listens to your questions and provides immediate feedback for a very comfortable experience. We continue to recommend Moira to members of our family and very close friends and everyone has had the same reaction. I also know Moira's staff and they reflect the same qualities of professionalism and compassion.

I have used this law firm many times personally and also have referred numerous clients to them. I have found them to be one of the most knowledgeable and responsive law firms I have ever dealt with. For example, Moira helped my wife and I with our wills and estate plans and also handled the estate of my Mom after she passed. She is truly caring and professional. In addition, I have referred them to many clients who have provided extremely positive feedback of their experiences with Moira and her firm!

Moira was instrumental in reworking our Will and setting up our estate planning. She took the time to have in-depth conversations with us and answered all of our questions. She added incredible value by looking at multiple scenarios that could have an unforeseen consequences on my business and our family if we had not known them. Her firm did a thorough job on preparing all the proper documents and we feel absolutely secure now. It was probably one of the best things we have ever done for our future. I highly recommend Moira and her team for Trust and Estate counsel and I recommend them to all

My family and associates have Moira and team for many years. She and all team members are diligent at listening and find new ways as state laws and family finances and needs have changed.
We recommend her professionalism for those just looking to start any financial family planning process for the no cost initial consult. They have also referred us to other professionals whom are better suited to assist.

We used Moira and her firm to prepare our Mom’s will and develop her estate planning. Our Mom was relieved when she first met Moira who was very considerate and listened to all of her wishes for her estate. Moira showed genuine concern and put our Mom at ease in dealing with a difficult life situation. We are all grateful for her service and professionalism and recommend Ms. Laidlaw without reservation.

ZERO STARS!
I called this firm and asked to schedule a 5-10 minute consultation with Moria S. Laidlaw for my mother who has Alzheimer's and Pulmanary disease. To my surprise, when Moria called me back today, she was extremely un-compassionate, rude and constantly spoke over me.
I wanted to explain to her my mom's situation, mental and financially. Instead, she kept cutting me off and insisted that I come in for an in office one hour consultation ($). After continually trying to speak to her, she spoke over me again and said that we are not a good match. I never go on-line and give reviews. But

My wife and my experience updating all of our estate planning was so pleasant and educational. We had a free consultation for over an hour learning and discussing all of the changes with the laws. Moira and her team were so knowledgable and courteous. We left feeling we were in the right place and with the right team to update all of our documents. The phone follow up and delivery of documents went seamlessly. I wholly endorse working with Hollis, Laidlaw and Simon.
