Estate planning

Some of my family members felt it was too late to do any estate planning for my mother as she had not properly planned her will or trust. Paul helped guide my family through excellent planning for not only her home, but for her funeral expenses via pre-paying these costs ahead of time and in managin...g the remainder of her estate. His guidance helped us to defray some of the Assisted Living costs that were mounting up.

POSITIVE REVIEW FOR ATTY. PAUL F. FORTUNATO

We needed guidance and documents prepared for our father/father-in-law who was ill. We were given all the information necessary to be able to complete this in a timely fashion, and if we had any questions, Atty. Paul Fortunato quickly got back to us. We also needed documents for ourselves prepared..., Power of Atty., HIPAA Release and Healthcare Proxy. Again, they were done in a very timely fashion. He makes you feel very comfortable, and speaks to you in terms you understand. Highly recommend him.

Great Lawyer

I came to know Paul over a number of years, as a client of his back in the late 80's & a good portion of the early 90's. Not only is he a great lawyer but he is a great & honorable man, too. I can't recommend him highly enough.

"I enthusiastically endorse Attorney Fortunato. I have known Paul for most of his time as an attorney. We have worked on matters together, been opposing counsel on several matters and have had many conversations over the years about our theories of representation. Paul is knowledgeable, diligent and highly ethical. Plus, having known and taken advice from Paul's father, Attorney Frank Fortunato (may he rest in peace), I know that Paul learned from the best."
