I have nothing but good things to say about my attorney, Mary Schinke. Not only is she an
excellent lawyer who covers all bases in an accurate and comprehensive manner, but is also a
compassionate and kind person. I heartily recommend her.

Mary Schinke provided excellent guidance to me and my co-executor as we navigated the probate process, resolving an estate with many loose ends. It would have been impossible for us executors to navigate the issues without Mary—she patiently explained every legal obligation to us, and carefully led us in resolving debt issues and distributions. In preparing the paperwork for the court, Mary ensured that the most accurate information would be conveyed. Mary carefully prepared for every meeting, and had all the time in the world for us when we met with her. Her cheerful “can do” attitude went a long way in getting us past the knotty issues. We are grateful to have worked with Mary!
L. Pistell, Summit, New Jersey & S. Beard, Blandford, Massachusetts
I wasn’t looking forward to making my will, but working with Mary made the process easy and comfortable. She is calm, thoughtful, and easy to understand. Mary also helped me through the process of serving as an Executor. She demystified the process and was a delight to work with. Mary will remain my cherished counsel and confidant, not only in law but also in my life.
M. Richardson, Southbury, Connecticut
Mary is a lawyer's lawyer. Incredible knowledge, completely trustworthy with a particular expertise in trust and estate work. As a partner in a same sex relationship, Mary's time and advice in helping us properly plan for the inevitable was priceless. And did I mention her comforting, humorous and loving manner? Simply the best.
