Cary Cucinelli and Valerie Geiger have provided excellent help to my brother, who was in very poor health and under nursing care. A local friend was acting as my brother's healthcare and financial power of attorney, and the burden of those duties was becoming too much for her. Cucinelli-Geiger efficiently unloaded the friend from a multitude of administrative duties, while keeping her fully informed. As it happens, my brother passed away within one month, and C-G is now assisting us with processing his estate, including selling his house. We have been very happy with their skills, their communication, their support staff, and their compassion. I recommend C-G to anyone who needs assistance for an elder in Virginia - these folks know their stuff.

They usually responded within an hour, and never did a question go unanswered for longer than one business day. When the worst happens, and you have to use the estate documents that you have so carefully drawn up, you'll want to be able to reach out to a professional, proficient estate law law with excellent customer service - where someone is readily available to help you. Manning and Murray was first recommended to me by an attorney working for a Maryland estate law firm that regularly provides estate planning basics to retiring government workers. Then a friend also mentioned that they had used them - and encouraged me to use them too. Finally, someone employed in the trust department of a bank stated that Manning & Murray had done all of the estate planning for their family. Another friend recommended using an online estate law software package, but the estate had complex needs, and we decided that approach wasn't a good fit. I'm looking forward to sleeping better at night, knowing that the important estate matters are settled. I recommend Manning & Murray wholeheartedly for all who need estate planning work done.

I felt overwhelmed and was afraid to act on some things, realizing there was so much I didn't know or understand. At the same time, I knew I needed to do something. One day, I saw an offer to attend a free seminar on financial planning hosted by Right Size Law, PLLC. One of my best decisions was to attend the seminar. I quickly realized yes, there was a lot I did not know or understand completely, concerning financial planning, protecting estates and long-term care insurance, but the Right Size, PLLC free seminars helped clarify the key points. David explains the differences between wills, trusts, considerations of planning for (and after) retirement, and alternate methods of funding long term health care. During the seminars, David points out differences between the jurisdictions of DC, Maryland, and Virginia. His information is clear, concise and easily understood. David clarifies his point by using everyday examples and scenarios. These seminars helped me to realize I needed to work on my planning sooner than later. Friends suggested I use an online legal tool such as Will and trust or Legal Zoom but I'm glad I did not. As a client of Right Size, PLLC, I still have questions.
