After undergraduate school, Tara began working as an estate planning paralegal in Albany. She quickly realized that she enjoyed the connection with families that position provided her and wanted to develop further those skill sets. She graduated from Albany Law School in 2002 with honors in the estate planning concentration and was fortunate to begin her legal career already with six years of meaningful hands-on experience behind her.. “I began working with Ed in 2004, which offered me an introduction to special needs law. However, my passion for this area of the law was solidified when my son was diagnosed with Asperger’s syndrome (an autism spectrum disorder) several years ago.”. I feel very fortunate to have a practice that allows me to be a better mother to and advocate for my son. While no two family’s experiences will be identical, there are shared concerns. Understanding those concerns as a mother makes me a better lawyer.”. You may see her around town taking a local Pilates class with friends or running a 5K with her husband Andy. Tara and her family roam the Adirondacks every chance they get. They hike and ski and are hoping to have two “46ers” before her son and daughter graduate from high school. (For those unfamiliar, those are some pretty hard hikes up our highest mountains!). “About three years ago a friend gave me a book that she authored about the history of the women’s movement in Saratoga, Warren, and Washington counties. Her insignia to me read: ‘Remember, you’re a mother, a daughter, a wife, a sister, and a friend—and at the end of the day what we all really have and can rely on are our family, our friends, and our faith.’. That has stayed with me and in someone else’s words, sums up entirely what's most important to me.”

We offer professional excellence and the highest level of personal service available when it comes to estate planning, probate, asset protection and a variety of business matters. Our lead attorney, Susan G. Parker, has many years of experience counseling clients of all ages and economic levels, on these deeply personal and family matters, with compassion and wisdom that makes her an invaluable trusted advisor.  Susan and her assistant Karen are the firm's frontline in making clients know their needs will be met.. In addition to the core practice areas, the firm handles many related areas of law including tax planning, Medicaid asset protection, employment agreements, real estate transfers, house closings and trust administration. We also help people start businesses, sign leases, create partnership and business agreements, write and review employment contracts, handle employment law matters and undertax personal and business tax planning.. We work with  people  from all over the country and world, who need to probate the estate of a loved one in the NY metro area.   A good deal of our practice is also devoted to planning for people who have family roots in country's around the globe.  The key difference between this law firm and many others with similar specialties, is  we care about our clients - each and every one - no one is just a number.  Personal service is the key differentiator.  At the law firm of Susan G. Parker Law Associates, we deliver on our word - integrity remains in vogue at our firm. It has never gone out of style.. When it comes to elder law, Susan shares the experience that many of her clients face: shepherding  parents through their golden years - often with an unforeseen snafu - and the economic and emotional toll this can take on all involved.. Althought we live in a DIY "do it yourself" world, this can be unrealistic when it comes to your own plans and needs, and the needs of your loved ones.  As many of us know, DIY isn't as easy as it sounds.  Although many web services, offer online estate planning or agreements you can print and sign,often it's not that simple. All states have laws about how a will has to be signed, to be valid.  Did you know that by having a will signing overseen by a lawyer, there is a presumption that things were done properly - if the will is ever challenged?. We are avid pet lovers, and volunteer our legal talents on behalf of the SPCA of Briarcliff Manor - to help those who want to leave a bequest to the SPCA, and also to help the SCPA collect legacies left to them.  We afford those interested in making this type of gift special treatment.  And at the office, be sure to say hi to Susan's golden retriever - Kurbis!. Thanks for stopping by!

I seem to be the kind of person that people either really like or really don't like as you can see from the reviews. I am not a therapist nor a best friend. I will not tell you what you want to hear to make you happy, nor will I keep you case going by telling you what you want to hear as I bill by the hour. I do my best to be honest about your likely outcome and bring about a resolution in a reasonable time. Sometimes people insist on litigating a losing case. I will do it, my clients are the boss, but it is always a good idea to take the legal advice you are paying for. I take my responsibilities very, very seriously. One of them is to tell you the truth about your situation.
