Estate Planning
I give the Valente Law Firm a five-star rating. I'd give it six stars if the ratings allowed me! A couple years ago, I talked to 8 or 10 attorneys before deciding to proceed with Eric. I've been extremely happy with his services. His attributes include: very ethical, has a lot of integrity, very knowledgeable in his field, easy to work with, efficient, reasonably priced, personable, compassionate, explaining complex legal concepts in easy layman's terms, attentive to clients' individual needs, and thorough. Eric set up trusts for myself and my wife, fulfilling our need for estate planning. He also assisted with real estate matters and general legal matters. I would highly recommend the Valente Law Firm for your legal needs.

Choosing the right estate documents
From the initial meeting to review our estate, through the decision as to what documents we needed, this was an easy and informative experience. We decided a trust was the right document for our situation. Thank you for the professional and courteous approach.

Excellent Experience-Highly Recommended
The Eric Valente Law Firm was selected for our long term Trust and Estate Planning needs. After meeting with other law firms our first meeting with Eric Valente Law was our first choice. Eric was very easy to work with and patiently guided us through complicated trust laws. It is most important that the law firm you select takes the time to fully understand your needs and earn your confidence. Working with the Eric Valente Law Firm was an excellent experience.
