Ferraro an A+ Lawyer

Estate planning including durable powers of attorney. Mr. Ferraro and his staff were exceptional with my aging parents. They clearly explained all matters of interest in a clear way without over complicating the matter for my parents or me. There was no pressure to sell complicated plans that are ...not necessary at this time, but were clear that should the need arise they are available at any time. This was a great experience with a well informed attorney and his outstanding staff.

Review

I was referred to Mr. Ferraro to help with a Medicaid application and Pool Trust Set up for my aunt. He and his staff were thorough, professional and understanding of my timelimits. Everything went as smooth as silk. I then went to him to update my trust, will and help me decide how my estate coul...d be handled upon an incapacitating illness and death. The advice he gave me took a weight off my shoulders and eased my anxiety since I have no close family and did not want to rely on friends.
