Allison Mary Depaola

I was very fortunate to have Allison’s expertise in guiding me through the living will estate planning process, including updating my will and POA, after recently going through a life-altering situation. As a single mom, I was quite concerned about the impact to my children if something were to happ...en to me so it was important to have my affairs in order, and my mind at ease. Allison took the time to listen, offered great insight, and explained every step of the process in a clear and concise manner which allowed me to carefully think about the choices I needed to make now that could affect my children in the future. Allison was very patient, organized and knowledgeable. The office staff was professional, yet very kind, at all times. Everyone at Floman DePaola who assisted me during this process truly helped make a stressful undertaking seem less daunting.

We needed an attorney to review our elderly mother's estate planning documents, as they haven't been reviewed in almost 15 years. Allison, from the initial contact through the signing of new documents, was incredibly prompt in her responses, professional and extremely knowledgeable. She reviewed our ...paperwork at no cost, and then made some recommendations for us. We hired Allison to draft a Power of Attorney and a new Health Care Directive, as the laws have changed quite a bit over the past 10 years or so. The cost was very reasonable but more importantly, Allison's "bedside manner" with my mother was nothing short of fantastic. Sensitive to how this type of planning can affect some elderly people, Allison made it VERY easy for our mother to understand what she was signing and why. She showed compassion, understanding and above all, patience. Without question, I would recommend this attorney (and her staff) to anyone who needs estate planning or really any planning for that matter where a lawyer that actually knows law, is needed. We are thrilled to have found Allison, and we will use her from now on for any and all attorney/client needs.

We had been putting this off for a while but we wanted to set up a trust for our kids. Allison made the process painless and very smooth. She is very detailed and covered every conceivable contingency recommending a path specific to our needs. We can feel at ease knowing our children are protected. V...ery fair price, accommodating hours, and a pleasure to deal with.
