Camporeale

MichaelCamporeale was hired to complete power of attorney,health proxy, creating a trust and final will for my mother. I appreciated the patience he took with my mom by explaining everything to her, and staying in communication with me throughout the process. Upon my mothers passing, Michael explaine...d steps that needed to be taken, and communicated with personnel out of state on my behalf. Michael is currently involved in the probate process of my mothers will.

Michael greatly eased a stressful situation

Anyone reading this has probably experienced the stress of elder care and related concerns. The various entities the responsible party has to deal with (hospitals, insurance, banks, local and federal government, etc.) are complex and very inconsistent in their expectations (i.e. Power of Attorney). W...ithin no time at all, one goes from feeling in control of a situation to overwhelmed. Hiring an Elder Care attorney was the smartest move I made, and I was fortunate to find one with the expertise of Mr. Camoporeale. Soon after I relayed my information to Michael, he responded with an itemized plan. No, not everything is going to be handled in real time, but an initial plan was a big relief. His handling of face-to-face meetings, where elder care situations can become emotional and unique, was equally as skillful. Combined with his obvious expertise is his excellent responsiveness. In my case, I was handling affairs outside of my home state, thus compounding difficulties. Michael, knowing I was in town for a limited time, quickly rescheduled appointments to fit in my time-sensitive needs. Michael does not blunt the communication of potential problems, which I appreciate. He’s able to think through and move rapidly to resolution, so be prepared to keep up! In conclusion, Michael enabled me to concern myself more with the personal needs of my loved one than with wrestling complicated legal and financial arrangements.

Highly recommend Mr. Camporeale

Mr. Camporeale has represented my family with multiple matters throughout the years, including two home closings, settlement of an estate, two an auto accident claims, and consultation on estate planning. I have found Mr. Camporeale to be very hard working knowledgeable on every matter and the resul...ts often exceeded my expectations. He and his staff have always been prompt on returning calls, providing me with necessary documents, being accessible for in person meetings, and most importantly he makes you feel comfortable because he is down to earth. I highly recommend Mr. Camporeale and will definitely continue using him in the future.

Brilliant, Responsive, Professional, Trustworthy and The Best Decision...

To start, hiring the right lawyer is a tough decision. After speaking with Michael Camporeale the first time, I felt comfortable to work with him and I didn't feel like I was just another client. He took his time with me and gave me his undivided attention. Michael provided me with feedback and broug...ht additional details to my attention that I overlooked. Michael prepared my documents in a timely fashion and answered all of my questions to the fullest extent. I couldn't ask for anything more and I do plan on continuing my relationship with him. Michael Camporeale is very brilliant, responsive, professional, trustworthy and the best decision.

Title Transfer

When my parents requested to change the title of their properties to my siblings and me, Mr. Camporeale made the transition seamless and hassle free. His expertise in this matter comforted my parents and confirmed that they were in the right place and with the right attorney. Mr. Camporeale took... the initiative by requesting all of the proper documentation from the county clerk and followed up with them every other day to ensure the required paperwork was received and delivered in a timely manner. The staff at Mr. Camporeale’s office was very courteous, friendly and professional where they, not only kept me up-to-date with the progress, but also explained the process to me in a way that made my family feel comfortable and right at home. I would definitely use Mr. Camporeale's office again for any other legal concerns I will have in the future.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. I have met Michael through my brother as they went to law school together. Michael Camporeale has always been a knowledgable, smart, and trustworthy attorney who gets fantastic results for his clients. My family trusted Michael to create Wills for my parents. As my parents aged we again turned to Michael to put my parents real property into a trust so that our assets would be safe should my parents health fail. However what has been most impressive about Michael is how he worked tirelessly to get my father's Medicaid application approved. Despite 3 administrative denials and 4-5 required appearances to "court" Michael would not take no for an answer and he prevailed! You need an attorney who can cut through bureaucratic red tape to get results; Michael Camporeale gets results. I have referred several of my own clients to Mike, and each time they called me back to thank me for the introduction. Call Mike and let him help you or your family."

"I'm a lawyer, and I entrusted him to represent my parents. I went to law school with Michael and worked on some matters with him.
