Attorney

Mr. Apolito did an excellent job handling all our estate planning documents. He was very thorough in explaining everything, and was patient with our many questions. We had rather unusual family circumstances, and he was able to help us calmly navigate through the process despite us changing our min...ds a time or two on what we wanted! We would strongly recommend him to others.

Personal Estate Planning

Alessandro was very professional in all of his scope of work with myself and my Spouse. His ability to explain and answer all of our questions, really put us at ease, with these difficult decisions, concerning Estate Planning. I highly recommend Alessandro and Lippes for all of your Estate Planning... and any Transaction Legal advice you may have both personally and with your Business.

I have been putting off estate planning for far too long because I thought it was confusing, expensive, and time consuming. Alessandro changed that for me, and I am now saying why did I wait so long! He first sat down and met with me, explained everything in detail so I understood clearly what ever...ything and option was, answered questions along the way, made suggestions, and delivered everything we discussed. It was an easy, informative, affordable and pleasant process. My family deserved this and I'm glad I did it. Thank you Alessandro for your guidance and professionalism through this process! I highly recommend him to anyone looking at family estate planning.

An attorney you can trust.

When my wife and I started to talk about estate planning we knew our first call would be to Alex. You want an estate attorney who is experienced and one that you can trust. He took the time to talk to us over the phone and in person to go over the planning process and answer any and all questions. It... is not an easy process since it involves going over every worst case scenario but he made us feel comfortable about the choices we needed to make. He was flexible and accessible when we needed to ask questions and meet for signing our estate documents. He is someone who will not just be your estate attorney but also a family friend. I would recommend him to my own family and any one else who needs an attorney.

Mr. Apolito was excellent. He was very thorough and patiently went through the legal terms with me until I was clear about the resulting documents. I highly recommend him for thorough and thoughtful support in legal matters.
