These are challenging times and people’s needs are changing constantly. To keep up with these changing times and needs, O’Connell Law firm spends extra time getting to know its clients better than most.

The firm focuses on Estate Planning (Wills & Trusts), Probate/Trust Administration, Elder Law, Alzheimer’s planning, and Veterans Benefits. Most of these areas are ones that people don’t want to think about when they’re young and healthy. But those who do — and their families – will be grateful they did the planning before something happens.

With the current pandemic, the firm is offering two special plans: The KeyThree Plan and the Frontliner Essentials Plan. 

The KeyThree plan allows people to get critical basic healthcare documents in place quickly and affordably during the pandemic. The three documents covered in this plan include: a Living Will, a Healthcare Proxy, and a HIPPA medical release form. This is the perfect plan for those who kept putting off filling out the forms, but are now concerned about getting them done on time and within their budget constraints.

The Frontline Essentials plan is pretty straightforward. O’Connell Law is grateful to the Frontline workers, first responders, educators, and essential workers who are required to put themselves and their families at risk by working outside their homes. Because of that, the firm has created a basic planning package that allows you to get a Massachusetts Will, Power of Attorney, and Healthcare documents in place efficiently and at a highly discounted rate.  

And speaking of COVID-19, O’Connell Law LLC has safety precautions at their forefront. In fact, even before the pandemic, the staff at O’Connell Law was offering remote options and other flexible terms so clients didn’t have to choose between their needs and their availability.

The firm, which includes Tiffany A. O’Connell (Tiff), Lynda Furash, Faiza Z. Chaudhry, Carol Nahass, Olga Klebanova, and Nicole Woodward, has strong ties to Natick. Tiff grew up in Natick and still lives there; Olga also lives in town.

According to Tiff, “We were set up prior to Covid to be able to work remotely. We are doing daily virtual meetings with clients and the feedback is very positive. We can still fully service clients remotely and then (unless they need to stay in their homes) do a ‘drive-through signing meeting’ with a client, where they come to the office, stay in the comfort of their car, and we assist with notarizing and witnessing their documents outside at their car. It works like a charm. We do have a beautiful office – we miss it, but we will be able to return to it one day,” she said.

Even if you’re not able to be in the office physically, you can see how easy it is to still work with staff at O’Connell Law. You’ll never have to worry about being intimidated by the prospect of meeting with a lawyer. No one will speak to you in a way that you can not understand or expect you to sign a pile of unexplained complicated papers, and then send you on your way.  

The more relaxed atmosphere/feeling is also a reflection of who they are. They believe estate planning and related practice areas are not just about properly filling out paperwork, but also about getting to know clients on a personal level, working closely with them to understand their concerns and goals, and taking the time to explain options in clear, easy to comprehend language.

In short, they believe that the essence of estate planning is establishing strong, personal relationships. They hope to serve as your counselors for life.

O’Connell Law LLC places family at the heart of everything they do. In their own families, their work family, and their client families, they endeavor to make all feel comfortable and understood. Their ongoing goal is to make a positive impact through personal touch and their warmth.
