Nancy W Tonucci

Nancy Tonucci was wonderful to work with through out our title 19 application. She brings forth a wealth of knowledge in elder law and makes a difficult process easy. She takes the time to make sure you understand everything that is needed and has a sound relationship with many local assisted living ...facilities. Nancy keeps you informed through every step of the process with check-in and status reports from either herself of her assistant. Without her help, completing our application would have taken exponentially longer. I have already recommended her to a neighbor with elder law needs.

I filed for a conservator for my aunt with the City of East Hartford. Tonucci was chosen. The conservator system seems to be set up to find the filing party as the enemy but no mind to this at present, albeit it a huge issue. I have concern that since Tonucci promised a budget but has not delivere...d it, did a shoddy job with an inventory (did not list items of worth specifically), does not communicate as promised, her designated nurse does not follow-up, and overall Tonucci seems to have an ego the size of Fenway Park. I now live in California but find Tonucci's behavior on these matters appalling. As one executive in the social justice system in Connecticut said, the Connecticut system is set up for graft. A financial report to the court once a year leaves plenty of room for graft. Recently, Tonucci issued a $5400 check to a funeral home because she thought it "was time." My aunt is in good health, sans dementia. She has sufficient worth for many years. Tonucci gave the funeral home a blank contract of $5400. This is bad business. I have worked with many lawyers through corporate transactions, lawsuits and initial public offerings. I have never met a lawyer as misguided as Tonucci.
