Planning for an aged parent can be a daunting task - where to begin / so many questions with answers that lead to new questions / the many directions the process can go in, etc.. So finding the right attorney was extremely important to us, not just because you want and need someone competent with good judgment, but also someone who's responsive and constructive in planning for someone you love. So in the process of my research I left a message one Friday afternoon for this an attorney named Cheryl who I had read about, not expecting to hear a response until the following week. To my surprise, she called back that afternoon and had the courtesy of telling me that she wanted to return the call before the weekend came. Wow, that was impressive. But beyond that, during the conversation I felt a sense of assurance that she knew her stuff as she responded logically and patiently to my questions & topping it off was genuinely pleasant as well. So we ended up retaining Cheryl for the initial consultation and from there we would decide as a family which direction to take with regard to mom's financial and estate planning needs. Cheryl was absolutely the right choice - she explained all aspects of elder planning in understandable fashion and really enabled us to think effectively on the many options that were in the best interest of mom. We subsequently ended up retaining Cheryl again for the set-up of mom's Trust. Fast forward to today, Cheryl has been exemplary - always responds back in reasonable fashion whenever needed, puts everything in context so it’s understandable & I've had the pleasure of referring her to several of my friends for the needs of their aged parents. Highly recommended.

Cheryl is a fantastic attorney who handles matter in a prompt and professional manner. You will not find a better lawyers to handle your Medicaid applications or Estate and Trust matters.

I was not experienced in selling property, however Ms. Fratello explained every step as I went through the process in her professional and patient way. She has a wonderfully warm demeanor about her that made the whole experience stressless.
The closing went off without a hitch due to her expertise, knowledge, and experience.
