Knowledgeable and Professional

Brianna Marquis was a tremendous asset in navigating my estate planning needs. Her deep expertise in trusts and estates, combined with her advanced LL.M. in Taxation, gave me confidence that my complex assets were being handled with precision. She explained every step of the process clearly, ensuring I understood the legal and tax implications. The final documents were thorough and tailored to my specific situation, making the entire experience seamless. While her responsiveness was excellent, there were a few delays in getting finalized documents due to firm-wide backlog, which was understandable given her high demand. Overall, Brianna’s competence and professionalism made her a standout choice, and I’d absolutely recommend her for estate planning or general practice needs.

Solid but could improve communication

I worked with Brianna Marquis on a complex estate planning matter, and while she clearly has strong expertise in trusts and estates—backed by her recognition as a Rising Star—I found her communication style a bit rigid. She provided thorough legal advice, leveraging her LL.M. in Taxation, but follow-ups felt slow, and I had to chase for updates. The final documents were well-crafted, but the experience left me wishing for more responsiveness. Overall, competent but not the most client-focused.

Experienced but communicative gaps

I worked with Brianna L. Marquis for estate planning needs, and her expertise was clear—especially given her tax law background and Super Lawyers recognition. She handled the legal nuances well, particularly around trust structures, which was my main concern. However, while her knowledge was solid, I found her availability a bit inconsistent. Responses to my follow-up questions took longer than expected, and the back-and-forth felt slightly drawn out. The final documents were thorough, but I wish there had been more proactive check-ins to align on priorities. A stronger commitment to communication would have elevated this experience. Still, I have no doubts about her competence in trusts and estates.

Exceptional Estate Planning Expertise

I had the pleasure of working with Brianna Marquis on a complex estate planning matter, and I couldn’t be more impressed. From the outset, her deep knowledge of trusts and estates—backed by her LL.M. in Taxation from Villanova—was evident in every interaction. She took the time to understand my unique family situation and crafted a tailored solution that addressed my concerns about probate and tax efficiency. What truly sets Brianna apart is her ability to break down complicated legal concepts into clear, actionable steps. Her recognition as a Rising Star by Super Lawyers is well-deserved, and her expertise was evident in the seamless execution of my trust. Brianna’s professionalism, responsiveness, and genuine care made an often-stressful process manageable. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing guidance in trusts, estates, or related tax matters.

Exceptional Guidance for Estate Planning

Brianna Marquis at Cummings & Lockwood was an outstanding advocate during a complex estate planning matter. Her expertise in trusts and estates, reinforced by her recognition as a Rising Star by Super Lawyers, gave me confidence in her abilities. She meticulously reviewed our family's assets and crafted a tailored plan that addressed our long-term goals while minimizing tax implications—something she excels at, given her LL.M. in Taxation. The process was smooth, though I wish she had been more responsive to emails in the early stages. Her fees were fair, especially considering the high level of service and the peace of mind she provided. I’d highly recommend her for anyone needing trust and estate guidance.

Detailed, Knowledgable, and Client-Focused

Brianna Marquis was exceptionally thorough in handling my estate planning needs, particularly in structuring trusts and tax-efficient inheritances. Her expertise in taxation, evidenced by her LL.M. from Villanova, was invaluable in navigating complex scenarios. She meticulously explained every step, ensuring I understood the implications of my decisions. While her responsiveness was generally excellent, there were occasional delays in returning calls, which could be improved. The final documents were meticulously prepared, and her attention to detail is evident. Recognized as a Rising Star in Trusts & Estates, her reputation is well-deserved. The only minor downside was the higher-than-expected costs for some consultations, but the quality of her work justified it. Highly recommend her for comprehensive estate and tax planning.

Knowledgeable but Room to Improve

Brianna handled my estate planning needs with a solid understanding of trusts and taxation, reflecting her advanced degrees from Villanova. She was able to navigate the complexities of my case, particularly in structuring trusts to minimize tax liabilities, which was critical for my family's long-term goals. Her recognition as a Rising Star in Trusts and Estates by Super Lawyers is well-earned. However, the communication could have been more proactive—there were a few delays in responses to my questions, and follow-ups sometimes took longer than expected. While she was professional and competent, I would have appreciated a more personalized approach to managing my concerns. The overall experience was satisfactory, but not exceptional, given the high standards of her firm.

Her expertise in trusts and estates, combined with her LL.M. in Taxation, ensured that my complex family situation was handled with precision and care. She explained legal concepts clearly and tailored solutions to my specific needs, demonstrating both skill and empathy. Brianna's recognition as a Rising Star by Super Lawyers reflects her dedication and competence.
