I had a great experience working with McFarland, Gould, Lyons, Sullivan & Hogan, P.A. Mr Lyons was efficient, professional, and always took the time to answer my questions in a clear and understandable way. I really appreciated how well he kept me informed throughout the process, which made everything much less stressful. What stood out most was Mr.Lyons' willingness to collaborate with other professionals when an issue came up that wasn’t in his usual area. Instead of guessing or delaying, he worked with the right people to find the most efficient and effective solution. That level of dedication and transparency gave me a lot of confidence in his work. I would definitely recommend McFarland, Gould, Lyons, Sullivan & Hogan, P.A. to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, responsive, and trustworthy lawyer.

My father passed away and although my name was on his account as his agent, the bank was reluctant to release his funds. McFarland, Gould, Lyons, Sullivan & Hogan had written his will 10-years ago and I had notified them about his death. An executive from the firm stepped in giving me advice and contacted the bank on my behalf. After the situation was resolved, the firm contacted me again to make sure I was okay. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this agency. Not only do they understand the law, they care about their clients.

I have been a client of Gary Lyons for nearly seven years, and my experience has been outstanding from the start. When my wife and I first met Gary, we were unfamiliar with essential estate planning documents like wills, healthcare surrogates, and powers of attorney. Gary took the time to guide us through each step, making the process straightforward and stress-free. What truly stood out was the invaluable support we received during a medical emergency a few years ago when my wife fell ill and we needed our healthcare surrogate and power of attorney documents urgently, Gary’s assistant Lisa, quickly provided the needed paperwork via email, allowing us to navigate that stressful situation with ease. This experience truly highlighted how crucial these documents are and how responsive and supportive Gary Lyons and his team are. I am deeply grateful for the peace of mind and the excellent service we’ve received over the years. I highly recommend Gary Lyons to anyone in need of a dedicated and reliable family attorney.

C. A. Sullivan and his Paralegal Sheri Frogel are a great team. They were hired to help with a family issue. The process was explained thoroughly and every interaction was clear and professional. We would certainly reach out to them for future legal advise.

My experience with Gary Lyons and his team were nothing short of amazing! I enjoyed working with Gary and his team and I would highly recommend them. Gary is professional and an excellent attorney, he never rushed me and he actively listened to me. Gary is very knowledgeable; he provided clear and concise information and sound legal advice with my estate planning. Gary is highly dedicated and acted as my trusted advisor with the handling of my mother’s estate after her passing and ensured my best interests were protected. Gary’s legal assistants that I personally worked with (Brendon Strath and Aiyana Southard) and his paralegal (Lisa Shuman) are courteous and professional. They listened to me, answered my questions, drafted legal documents, possessed excellent verbal and written communication skills and provided fast and efficient legal services whether it was on the phone, text or email. Gary and is team explained everything in detail and made probate and my estate planning process a great learning experience.

Great communication. No surprises. Told me approximately how much it would cost and how long it would take. Spot on with both. I had to get a tenant evicted. Legal assistant, Sam, was great. I appreciate her patience with me.

I was interrupted and spoke over during my 50.00 half hour. Fine you didn’t want to take the case. But at least empathic and be respectful. Also if lying on a recording about a benefit from Optum Health Insurance is not a deceptive business practice . Maybe that’s why Luigi did what he did to the United Healthcare CEO.

Gary Lyons and Laura Shuman made rewriting my Will an easy process. Everything was handled remotely except for the execution of the Will. All of my concerns were addressed in a considerate manner and appropriate recommendations were made. The Will was also completed with a specific timeframe as requested. It is always a pleasure to do business with this law firm. l highly recommend it.

I cannot say enough about Gary Lyons Esq and Lisa Shuman paralegal. They are a superb team. During one of the most stressful and challenging times in my life in selling my home, they were there for me. I felt supported and valued every step of the way. Gary provided exceptional service and support. From my first phone call with him, I felt at ease. His professionalism, outstanding knowledge, kindness and respect was there in every interaction. I must say I was amazed that he knew so much about my case before I uttered a word in my first phone call with him. He clearly reviewed my case thoroughly before speaking to me. Thank you Lisa for always being wonderful at what you do. Gary explained everything to me and I knew I was in great hands. Gary truly was outstanding and I felt he went above and beyond guiding me through the process. He answered all my questions expeditiously and emailed and phoned me to keep everything flowing. He noticed things about my case as a foreign seller that I did not even know that I should be aware of. His attention to detail is superior. I also cannot thank Lisa for all her hard work on my behalf. I highly recommend Gary Lyons Esq and Lisa Shuman for your legal needs. You will be in exceptional hands. Gary Lyons is a class act!
