Professional and Accomodating

Alana represented us for the closing of our first home. Alana was knowledgable and professional. She not only advocated for us, she was accommodating in every way and made a nerve wrecking process exciting and enjoyable!!!

Excellent support

Alana handled a very contentious real estate situation with expertise and sound advice. We highly recommend her for all legal issues.

Highly Recommendable!

Alana DeChello is a woman of integrity. She is personable, professional and had made it possible for me to feel comfortable and confident during a time I needed it most. She showed commitment to my case from beginning to end. She was truly great to work with. Alana knows Connecticut Law and stands u...p for her clients. Most impressively Alana keeps you informed the entire time and is thoroughly informative as to where you are in the process and what comes next. She exemplifies impeccable ethics and an unparalleled work ethic which make her an outstanding attorney who is capable, meticulous, and diligent. She is a straight-talker who will not tell you what you want to hear, but what you need to know. I would highly recommend Alana DeChello to anyone looking for a skilled attorney in the New Haven area.

The Perfect Attorney

We found the DeChello Law Firm on the internet and decided to contact them for estate work since they were in close proximity to where we lived. I had just retired after working 47 years for a large law firm, so I knew how lawyers handled clients. Meeting with Alana was delightful. She always had ...a smile, always engaged in conversation about our personal life, but most important, she definitely knew the answers to every question I posed with regarding to setting up our estate plan. She always returned calls and responded to e-mails quickly. She developed an estate plan for us that we felt secure with knowing matters would be taken care of after we were gone. A couple months after wrapping up working on our estate plan, our daughter bought her first home -- a HUD property -- and Alana handled everything so professionally and took all the pressure away from what was at times a stressful process. I have referred Alana to other people, one of which I know has engaged her services. We couldn't ask for a better attorney to handle our affairs. We are comfortable knowing she will be there for us whenever we need legal advice. She is a true asset to the legal profession.

Closing Attorney

Worked to get a closing and a very tight deadline, she worked endlessly and answered all my questions day or night, She even assisted with the other party to ensure we could close when needed. I had issues come up that I had no idea how to resolve from a previous sale, she would just point me in the... right direction so I could also do my part to get everything needed for this transaction, I was happy to have her on my side.
