For more than three decades, we have helped New York and New Jersey families and business owners preserve and protect their homes, businesses and other hard-earned assets. We help our clients transfer those assets to their loved ones when the time is right. We have earned a reputation for a deep and sincere commitment and dedication to our clients.

Personal Service
O'Connell & Riley will work closely with you and with any members of your family who you wish to involve in your estate, business, and elder law planning. We strive to understand your personal goals and objectives, your family relationships, and the issues that concern you. We respond to you with clear and easily understandable advice. Most importantly, we provide you with choices that you can consider about how you might proceed in any particular situation. At our offices, you will never be pushed to use any particular legal device or approach. Instead, we encourage our clients to give the various options which we may recommend careful thought. We always suggest that you should sleep on it; you should never be rushed as you make these most important legal decisions.
