An Attorney with Knowledge, Compassion and admirable Ethics

I first met Terence in 2016 following the death of my father. I was distraught and required assistance with my father’s estate. Terence was knowledgeable, kind and took control of the challenges involved in the estate process and obstacles. Terence and his team treated me with kindness, patience, re...spect, and a careful and accurate legal process. Terence got the job done and did not drag his feet. He consistently greeted me with a smile as did the rest of his team. The team returned phone calls and never did I feel rushed or a bother. Terence is the type of attorney you could be confident and proud of in representing you or your loved ones. I highly recommend Terence as a competent, intelligent, compassionate and respectable attorney who can undoubtedly provide anyone with ethical and honorable representation.

Review of Terence Ricaforte

I've used the services of Terence Ricaforte over the past several years. He was instrumental in advising us on how to receive Medicaid Benefits for my mother and all the associated Estate and trust preparations. Terence provided excellent service and advise and this resulted in us receiving the neede...d benefits for my mother in a relatively short period of time. Terence was instrumental in diffusing a potential situation with the Administrative Judge and HRA attorneys . Terence provided consultation and support in spite of issues I had with his previous employer. Upon my mother's passing, Terence also advised on real estate and tax issues associated with the selling of my mother's home and saved us significant monies and time. I highly recommend his firm Landskind& Ricaforte for all these issues.They do care about their clients and I would not hesitate to recommend them for their honesty ,integrity, and professionalism. And the staff is courteous and responsive.

Excellent Experience and Expert Advice

My family has used Terence's services on several occasions. Not only has Terence provided expert legal advice, but he's taken the time to present all of our options and raised points we hadn't previously considered, or even known we should be thinking about. Estate planning for aging relatives can be... a challenging and emotional process, but Terence's smart, thoughtful and customer friendly approach made the process easy. I've recommended him and his practice to many friends and colleagues, and the feedback I hear from those who use his services is also consistently positive.
