MaryClare Lawrence:
“As a single person going through a transition and needing to create a new estate plan, I found MaryClare Lawrence’s work to be invaluable. She guided me through a legal process that might otherwise have seemed complicated and overwhelming, with ease and humor. Because of her years of experience working with individuals and families, she was skilled at helping me think through future scenarios and constructing my wishes in such a way that all possible variables were covered. MaryClare often thought of things I couldn’t, and I especially appreciated how she wrote key parts of the documents to read with a combination of clarity and power, and also sensitivity and compassion. After working with MaryClare Lawrence, I experienced the peace of mind that comes from being well prepared for the future, and I would recommend her highly.”
