Could not be happier!

Initially our apprehension vanished after meeting Desiree. Was able explain everything to us in a language we could understand. Knowledgeable and extremely thorough. The complexity of enacting a trust could not have been a more pleasant experience . She and her staff were wonderful.

Deserie Fusco, Esq. Estate Planning/Eldercare

Deserie Fusco is the best eldercare lawyer ever! We hired her as our estate planner and we now have peace of mind. She explained everything to us in layman’s terms and answered all our questions. We felt she had our best interest at heart and we trust her opinion. We highly recommend Deserie Fusco. T...his firm also helped us with the closing of our primary home. We would definitely return if and when our needs change and we requir a lawyer. We highly recommend Deserie and her firm Bondi, Iovino & Fusco! The paralegals are phenomenal, as well. A-1 law firm!

review

Desiree and her team did an outstanding job with drafting our wills,power of attorney and healthcare proxy. She provided valuable info on both revocable and irrevocable trusts. She was a pleasure to work with and made the process easy.

A Professional with a Heart

Working with Desiree Fusco has been a pleasure. She is knowledgeable about the law and provided us with clear information about the topics we wished to discuss. We were treated with the utmost respect and care. I would highly recommend Desiree to anyone who seeks the assistance of an attorney.

One of the Good ones

We needed a lawyer to help with our Aunts estate which was a mess. There was nothing in her will that would be protected and an irrevocable trust. Aunt Mary is 95 so sometimes explaining concepts or ideas takes a while and lots of patience. Well that’s exactly what you get with Desiree. She is pa...tient, very competent and professional. We put together two trusts and put everything in there making it so simple when Aunt Mary passes. I would recommend her to anyone as you won’t be disappointed in any way. Kudos Desiree and thank you.
