Review of John Lara - Probate

Probate is stressful and complicated. John Lara, with all his expertise, knowledge and understanding, guided me through the entire process from beginning to end. Some unique and complicated matters arose; but, with his broad understanding of the law, John was able to handle and resolve anything that ...came along. He is an excellent communicator and has a way of looking at all things in a positive light. It is a privilege to have John Lara as my attorney.

Thanks Fornaro Law!

We had a great experience using Fornaro Law for the recent sale of our rental property. Our attorney Allison Walsh was very clear and helpful through the process, and her paralegal John Heneghan kept us informed every step of the way.

Excellent attorney with expertise in many areas - would highly recommend

I would highly recommend Fornaro Law for both business and individual legal needs. Phil Fornaro and his team of attorneys have done an exemplary job for my company. Phil is not only local and highly accessible, but he also takes a very practical and proactive approach to helping us that is geared tow...ards problem-solving. He excels on making complicated issues understandable. I have worked with Phil and his team on numerous matters, from simple residential property closings through complex commercial transactions including SNDAs, commercial leases, preparation of loan documents, work-out situations and facilitating IRS subordinations for our clients. His involvement gives me a strong comfort that our risk has been mitigated and our best interests have been represented. Thank you to Phil and his team!
