Excellent legal services

Detailed and completely professional with putting together estate planning. Walked us through the process which was worth every penny. Thanks again Alana.

Executor of estate

I had a wonderful experience with Alana. She always took the time to make sure that I had a thorough understanding of my estate. She was pleasant and thoughtful. My case was completed in a timely manner without any misunderstandings.During one of the most challenging times of my life, Alana remained ...pleasant and patient even when I appeared stressed and intolerant.

Personal, Professional, Reliable, Trustworthy

Alana has worked with my husband an I on multiple occasions over the past few years - including estate planning and a very complicated refinance. Just when we thought we couldn't take on any more runaround and setbacks from the bank, Alana stepped in on our behalf and was able to push things forward ...very professionally and advocate for us, ultimately getting the job done. She was there for us when we needed her the most, and we are convinced that if not for her hard work and professionalism, the road to closing would have been much more painful and drawn out. We look forward to turning to her for all our legal work in the future!

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.
