Excellent Lawyer!

We contacted Mr. Brocato to do our Will. He is extremely knowledgeable and helped us make the decisions that were best for our family. He takes the time to explain everything to you and why something is or is not good for you. It was a pleasure dealing with him on a professional and personal level.

Trustworthy Trust Attorney

My wife and I needed to redo our trusts and other documents. Chad presented us with a total package at an extremely reasonable price. His questions regarding what we wanted were clear and complete. He was able to come to our home along with a notary and a witness for the signing of our documents. I'd have no hesitation at all in consulting Chad for any future legal matters.

Person of interests

This attorney is a Joke! He gets in bed with the other party rather than his clients. No communication, no updates and no motions filed on our behalf, when he was hired by opposing parties!!!! He clearly didn’t represent these victims who retained him, but help the selfishness of a widower, who didn’t have any feelings regarding the heirs…..

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Often families can avoid the hardship of probate through proper planning, but sometimes the planning takes a back burner to life or maybe something was left out of the plan. It is good to know that in those times Chad will take the time to get to know the client and find out what is most important to them before just picking a one size fits all solution."
