Jason Flaherty provided outstanding guidance as we navigated the complexities of updating our estate plan after a significant life event. His dual background in accounting and law, particularly his recognized expertise in tax and trusts, was immediately evident. He didn't just draft documents; he took the time to understand our family dynamics and long-term goals for our children's inheritance. The plan he built is sophisticated yet clear, incorporating strategies to minimize future tax burdens effectively. His 23 years of experience in this specific niche provided immense confidence. While his response time to non-urgent emails could occasionally be a day or two slower than expected, the quality of his work and his thoughtful, personalized approach more than compensate. We feel thoroughly protected and highly recommend his services.
