A competent and experienced attorney, but communication was a challenge

I engaged Mr. Nassar to assist with a complex estate planning matter involving a family business and significant tax considerations. His deep expertise in trusts and estates, backed by his LLM in taxation and decades of experience, was immediately apparent. He provided sound, strategic advice that clearly leveraged his recognition in these fields. The final documents were meticulously prepared. However, the experience was not without its frustrations. Communication was often slow, with responses to emails taking several days, and it was sometimes difficult to get clarity on next steps without persistent follow-up on my part. While I never doubted his legal acumen, the administrative side of the engagement felt lacking. For straightforward, high-stakes planning, his knowledge is undeniable, but be prepared to manage the process actively if timelines are important to you.
