“Our experience with Tom Tuohy was five stars; from the moment we walked into his office, met his staff, and then talked to Tom, it felt like we were with friends. My wife and I have wanted our estate planning done for many years, and we were happy that we finally found Tuohy Law to have it completed. Thank You.” –George Zaccagnini
