Competent Litigator - Will fight to the end for you

I went to Alfred Polizzotto Esq. for an estate matter involving litigation, 2 complex real estate transactions which involved a lot of money numbers that changed as bills were paid out on the real estate. The first day I went in to his office I felt comforted that the complex issues could be resolv...ed with his calmness in handling and creating excel spread sheets to organize the 2 real estate transactions, private mortgage money, and bank accounts. He was extremely organized, great with computers, awesome in math, and extremely knowledgeable with the laws on all matters. He gave me a list of what documents to bring him. I had to Order 15 years of bank statements and checks. Once I gave him the copies. He put it all on to excel spread sheets. Then he called the estate attorney and told the attorney his demands for me. In the end everything Mr. Polizzotto asked for I received from the estate. Not one item did I lose because he knew how to litigate and apply real estate law and estate law to the facts at hand. I would not use any one else for law matters. He also worked Professionally with the opposing lawyer and the uncooperative executor. He’s a family oriented lawyer and treats such matters with delicacy and respect.

Superior Professional

1. My wife and I are both over eighty. During the pandemic, instead of having us go to his office in Brooklyn, Mr. Polizzotto met with us close to our home on Long Island to discuss our case. 2. Mr. Polizzotto and his staff (Liz) always returned our email within twenty-four hours. 3. After we gathe...red all our original documents, we were not sure if we should mail to his office or hand deliver it. Mr. Polizzotto personally picked it up from our home, after a whole day's work and rush hour traffic in the dark! 4. When a clerical error was discovered in our application, Mr. Polizzotto redid the entire package himself! 5. Mr. Polizzotto always answered our questions with patience, clarity, reassurance, and in layman's terms so we could understand. 6. Mr. Polizzotto submitted our case on March 1st. It was approved by May 1st. Highly efficient! 7. It's been an unforgettable experience working with Mr. Polizzotto! He is truly a superior professional!

Great Lawyer

I hired Mr. Polizotto for assistance with elder law planning. It was clear that Mr. Polizzotto was intimately familiar with the nuances of this area of law. He knows how to structure a plan to ensure that the many interests of the client are well represented. He created a plan that included a trust... to conserve assets and maximize tax advantages, aid in Medicaid qualification, and ensure favorable transfer of estate assets. Mr. Polizotto did not need to check the law when I had a question; he knew the law. I also hired Mr. Polizotto to assist with Medicaid hearings where the government was seeking to reduce benefits to a family member. We won the decision. In addition, I hired Mr. Polizotto in connection with the sale of a property. His real estate office is a well-oiled, efficient, professional machine. I highly recommend this seasoned lawyer.
