Melanie Scaringi was amazing.

I can not say enough great things about my experience with Melanie Scaringi. When my aging mother began her struggles with dementia and blindness, and I was taking over responsibilities (with my brother) for handling her financial and legal affairs, selling her home and transitioning her to assisted... living and eventually a nursing home, a friend suggested I would benefit from some elder care expertise. She recommended Melanie and I am so grateful. What seemed to me to initially be straight forward was not at all but Melanie was there every step of the way to assist - and to clue us in on what we should be asking and had not considered. In fact, after this experience, I fully intend to engage Melanie to help me review my own legal documents.

Great investment

Melanie Scaringi and her staff helped me through very complicated estate matters. They always made me feel like I had the best information to make the decision that was right for my situation. I live states away and handled all communication remotely but I always felt connectected to my lawyer in s...pite of the distance. Highly recommend.

Excellent Attorney

Melanie, Judi and the amazing team at Scaringi & Scaringi were exactly what my family had been praying for. Many years ago, my father passed away in Pennsylvania, but his Will was from another state. We had been trying to tackle all of the obstacles that this difficult estate was throwing at us, bu...t we couldn’t find an attorney that was willing to help us see it through to the end. As soon as I finished talking to Melanie on the phone I knew that our prayers had finally been answered. She was so knowledgeable and didn’t seem to even flinch as I told her about the difficulties that we had encountered trying to close my father’s estate. She presented to me this wonderful plan of how it would all work out. She was up front with the time it would take and the cost that would be incurred. She enlisted another wonderful attorney, Judi Walz, who was just as knowledgeable and determined to see our case through to the end. As the case moved forward more obstacles were unveiled, but Melanie and Judi plowed forward with renewed determination until the estate was finalized. My family and I are so very thankful that God steered us to this extraordinary law firm. They are what every law firm should be. They are honest, knowledgeable, quick to respond to your inquiries, and will see your case through to the end. I highly recommend Melanie, Judi, and the wonderful team at Scaringi & Scaringi.

Ms. Melanie is very knowledgeable.

She tells me what I NEED to do first. It might not be what I WANT to do, but she says, "You need to get this in order legally first, then we can proceed with what you WANT to do." And then she explains WHY it should be done this way. She is smart, very knowledgeable, recommends a course of action, a...nd patiently answers questions. I am so very thankful someone recommended her to me.

Excellent Estate Attorney

Melanie handled my mother's estate and was a pleasure to work with. She is very knowledgeable and gives you confidence in the work she is doing. She was always quick to respond to my questions. I plan to use Melanie to review and revise my own will and will definitely recommend her to friends.
