Testimonials

My mother and I worked with Carol Nolan to write my mother's will. Carol did a great job of explaining everything to us, including recommending additional documents we needed. She took her time making sure she understood all of our needs. She provided drafts of all the documents, and was patient and thorough in answering our questions, and making changes as requested. It took us awhile to schedule our final appointment for signing the docs, and she was patient with us throughout that, as well.
Carol is knowledgeable and kind, and I highly recommend her services.

Worth every star! I first heard of Carol from my brother, who was Financial POA for my mother's rather complicated estate. He raved about how simple she made the process and what great advice she gave him. It served us well in the years Mom lived at a senior community and when she passed away. My brother had Carol do the same for he and his wife and recommended that I also use her services. My husband and I found her to be friendly, professional and her counsel easy to follow and understand. I would most highly recommend her services to anyone wanting to get their affairs in order, regardless of how simple or complex their matters may be!!

Best elder law and estate planning attorney. Kind, thoughtful and smart

Our family recently worked with Carol on an estate plan. This work included updating the estate plan for my 97-year-old father and putting a plan in place for my wife and me. Carol, through her knowledge, patience, and welcoming demeanor, made the entire process understandable and totally painless. She patiently answered all our questions, was available and responsive whenever we needed her, and truly seemed to care about us. And now that the work is done, I feel 100% confident that we have an estate plan that meets our needs and that our family will be taken care of in exactly the way we intended. If you need help, I would wholeheartedly recommend working with Carol Nolan.

My parents' had a trust created by Carol in 2015. After my father's sudden death; we needed to have a sort of family meeting with her to update the family trust. Carol explained everything to my mother, sisters and I, and answered all of our questions. Several years later I needed to contact Carol regarding POA's during covid-19, explore options for my failing mother, and finally execute my mom's estate. Carol's guidance during this time was invaluable.My parents trust resulted in two special needs trusts for two of my siblings. I continue to consult Carol about these trusts. Carol, over the years, has been a knowledgeable and reliable advisor to our family. In two instances she has recommended other attorneys to me for different issues involving the trusts.Carol explains “if/then” scenarios to help you make decisions for your family. She communicates in a way that anyone can understand. I am not disappointed, and I think my parents made a great decision.Mark O.

When my brother passes away last year I needed an Estate Attorney in DuPage County. I asked another attorney friend if they could take care of this matter, they told me No, but they referred me to Carol. What a blessing it was to work with her to take care of my brothers estate. She took care of everything. She provided me with the documents to get into his Storage Unit, the correct paperwork to sell his vehicle, and because of the way she set the Estate up it was easy to sell his home. She set up all of the documents that I needed for closing out his Retirement Funds, and the correct documents for closing out his Bank Accounts and setting up an Estate Bank Account, and even instructions on filing his State and Federal Taxes. If you have any type of Estate work you need done I would highly recommend Carol Nolan.

Carol has been my attorney for several years for both business and personal estate planning. She is thoughtful, kind, smart, and professional. I found her to be honest and helpful. I would highly recommend her.

Carol has been my attorney for at least twenty-five years. Needless to say, I have needed an attorney several times during that time (either for me or for a mber of my family). Carol has assisted me with trusts, wills, elder-care issues, pre-nuptial agreement, spousal Medicaid laws, and familial legal problems. In legal areas which Carol does not practice, she has recommended other attorneys multiple times. For example, a family member needed a family law attorney. Carol recommended an appropriate attorney. That attorney was able to consult with my family member and we loved her.Over the years, Carol's advice has been and continues to be invaluable to me; just a phone number away. Carol has many unique skills, such as the ability to speak 'in plain English' such that I could easily understand all the pros and cons of the specific issue leading to a well-informed decision. Not only does she point out the legal pros and cons, but she also points out potential outcomes. She explains all sides of the issues. Throughout the years, especially during difficult times, Carol treated me with respect, trust, empathy and honesty. Her knowledge of the law is unsurpassed! I can't imagine my life without her support, advice and consult.

Carol prepared and took time to explain each document. She answered all questions and I never felt rushed in the two consultations we had. I made a good decision to select Carol to draft my will, trust and POA.

Carol has been a fabulous advocate for my senior parents and helped us through the complex and emotional work to get their estates in order and establish their longer-term wishes and care.
