Explore All Practice AreasEmily Toland made the intimidating process of creating a will so easy! She genuinely cares about making sure people have their ducks in a row to avoid challenges down the road. She also connects with her clients on a deeply personal level and makes it easy to trust her to handle your affairs. Each step was clearly explained as many times as I needed with no impatience on her end. I really cannot recommend Emily enough. The peace of mind I have now in settling this is immeasurable and I’m so grateful Emily offers this service. Thanks Emily!

Emily is awesome. She explained everything and helped us to understand it.
By chance, we selected Emily Toland from a list of attorneys covered by the legal insurance provided by my employer. We found her to be very knowledgeable, exceptionally personable, and uber organized in helping us with end of life documents (will, POA, etc). Every question we had was answered in a way we could understand. The front desk personnel were warm and friendly, and there was ample parking just steps from the front door. Next time we need legal services, needless to say, we will intentionally choose her again.
I finished my estate planning today with Emily. She was very easy to work with from the initial meeting to the finalization of the paperwork. She was clear and concise, and I recommend her without reservation for any estate planning needs!
We went to Emily Toland for estate planning, and she was amazing to work with. She was very professional, compassionate, and a joy to work with making the process very easy.
Emily Toland helped my wife and I with estate planning. She is very nice and inviting, a great communicator and offered friendly service. It was a pleasure to work with her and other folks at Adams, Rizzi & Sween.

I recently met with Emily Toland of Adams, Rizzi, Sween and Toland, P.A. to update my Will, Health Care Directive, Transfer of Death Deed and Power of Attorney. She was absolutely wonderful! Her knowledge of every issue we discussed, her professionalism and efficiency were impressive! She put me at ease right away and addressed my questions and concerns before I could even voice them! I no longer have to worry about an important chunk of my life for I now have an attorney if I should ever need one.. one whom I trust completely! Thank you Emily Toland very sincerely! Sue Warwick
