This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Professional, Efficient, & Effective

I was referred to Fatoullah & Associates by my financial planner. Stacey Meshnick was very helpful and saved my family a lot of expense when filing NY State paperwork for an elderly loved one. A few years later, Stacey Meshnick and Jordan Lipka worked with me on the preparation of the Accounting ...and Receipt, Release and Refunding Agreement for a Trust for my deceased parent. They recommended the preparation and execution of these documents to both settle the Trust distribution as well as protecting me from any liability as Trustee. All was prepared,executed, and filed in a professional and timely manner. I would highly recommend them and their firm for any ElderCare Legal and Planning issues you may encounter.

Invaluable assistance

Attorney Stacey Meshnick of this firm was invaluable in assisting me with a Power of Attorney and later a Trust for my father. I appreciated her knowledge, guidance, answers to questions and overall help in getting needed documents completed. I live out of the country and my father in New York, thank... you!!

Helping my family and myself navigate a most difficult journey.

Our family attorney recommended we contact Ron Fattoulah in March of 2017, when my husband was diagnosed with a debilitating desease. One of the attorneys in the firm , Stacey Meshnick took over our case, It turns out she also helped us 20 years ago with my parents estate. Then and now I cannot b...egin to express how thankful I am that we chose this route. My husband and I, with Stacy and other staff members guidance, each opened an irrevocable trust, health proxy, power of attorney and many other important documents. Unfortunately, my husband after being ill at home for quite a few years, had to go into a nursing home the beginning of last year and passed away in November. My children and I are so grateful to Ron Fatoulla and all his staff for making our great loss a little easier. We have recommended them to many of our friends, and will continue to do so. Thank you again.

Client

Stacey Meshnick, Esq. guided me step-by-step through the process when I had to apply for Medicaid for my mom. This law firm also keeps me up to date on changing Medicaid rules via email. For example, they notified me when Medicaid increased the monthly amount of money my mom could keep. Another fa...mily member is using a different attorney who told them nothing.

Excellent law firm

I am using the services of a home health agency. In order for me to do that, I had to receive Medicaid. To make sure I was eligible, I had a few outstanding issues that needed to be addressed. I worked with Stacy Meshnick from this law firm to address those issues. I only needed one session with her ...via FaceTime. We couldn't meet face to face due to Covid restrictions. She was punctual to the meeting and was thorough and spent nearly an hour asking me many questions and me giving as many details as possible. After that meeting, any concerns that needed to be addressed that we didn't have the answer for, she found out the answer the next day. She was very knowledgeable and thorough. She was very timely and her responses as well. It was highly appreciated and it was successful because of the fact that I do receive home services now. To this law firm, you have nothing but my gratitude. Thank you for everything.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
