DO NOT HIRE THIS FIRM FOR YOUR ESTATE PLANNING…read more Tina Annis is the reason people do not trust lawyers - just about the money; NO real interest in assisting or listening to the client. Tina's office sent a 5-page questionnaire to be completed prior to conducting a consultation call. A call that Tina insisted no one else could be present as she spoke w/ my 86 year old aunt - despite my aunt requesting I listen in to help her capture details/information provided. Assuming a professional consultation would be presented, we abided by Tina's demands. In hindsight, we should have ended the call then, since Tina showed no interest in the client's wishes. We never anticipated the unethical behavior that happened next. Note: We completely understand the concern for family members not coercing the person creating or changing their Trust. However, who protects the person creating the Trust from unethical lawyers like Tina Annis? On the call, Tina never referred to any information my aunt completed in Tina's 5-page questionnaire; nor did she listen to what my aunt said or wanted. Instead Tina used the hour and a half call to badger my aunt with questions (verbatim): Why don't you split your house three ways like you're doing with your other assets, that would be easier (asked 3 times); What if the people you're leaving your house to can't pay the taxes; What if the people you're leaving your house to adopt children & give some portion of your house to these adopted children; And other similar BS questions. All above BS questions, if necessary to ask at all, should have been asked in the questionnaire paperwork sent. They were used to "eat the clock" & add time to Tina's billing goal. Tina never referred to any of the completed, pertinent questionnaire information which was more expected during a "consult call" to assist in the Trust changes my aunt was hoping to achieve. Instead it was a series of badgering, ridiculous questions to keep my aunt on the phone to rack up the billing charges. My aunt asked several times if the call was done but Tina kept on. When the call was finally complete per Tina's billing goal, my aunt stated to us that she felt she was "senior waterboarded" - that says it all. My aunt called the firm the next day to say she was extremely uncomfortable with Tina's phone call and would not be pursuing her services further. Of course, no apology, concerns or questions were expressed/asked. And, of course, Tina immediately sent a bill for $570 - the cost of Tina's professional senior waterboarding - SHAMEFUL. This is a prime example of bad lawyering. DO NOT HIRE THIS FIRM.

As Executor it is her responsibility to stay in touch with the Heirs. She has utterly neglected this duty for 10 of 11 years causing me to lose 3 funerals as other Heirs died over the last decade. As my legal representation John Ransmeier has blockaded me from interacting with my Aunt Mary the Executor. He does not pass my communications to her and refuses a three-way video or conference call with Mary Mr Ransmeier and myself. Mr Ransmeier has had my uptodate contact information for the last decade. And he has sat idly by as Mary Caldwell the Executor first filed a missing person report on me. Then later had me memorialized on Facebook. At any time Mary Caldwell the Executor could have asked Mr Attorney John Ransmeier for my contact info, which is actually her duty and responsibility---to Stay In Communication With the Heirs. In May of 2024 John Ransmeier promised me an interest payment on the 11 year inheritance of $39,000. Then has refused all contact with me since. i have taken the liberty of filing a Formal Complaint with the NH Bar Association, but, at first pass search, John C Ransmeier of Concord NH is no longer a member of the NH Bar. I assume because he is deceased. More recently I was able to reclaim my Facebook from the land of the Deceased and Memorialized. I contacted RansSpell Attorneys at Law on their Facebook with a video intro explaining I am the firstborn Heir. John C Ransmeier and Mary Sylvia Caldwell (Executor) have failed to give me the September Accounting from Probate Court and requested a three-way video or conference call with Mary Caldwell and John Ransmeier to settle all disputes. Instead of arrange this for me, a reasonable request, they blocked me on their Facebook and absconded with my father Matthew Caldwell's Estate and inheritance currently holding $350,000 dollars at Merrimack County Savings Bank. This case has involved Identity Theft of my person by my Aunt Mary the Executor and should have been turned over to Law Enforcement a long time ago. Specifically, The FBI Identity Theft and Financial Crimes Division, Chelsea, Mass.
