Will and Living Trust Preparation

Mr. Ercolani was retained to update an existing will and living trust. I was most impressed with the fact that although he was updating existing documents, he approached the task as if he were writing the documents from scratch. I found such thoroughness refreshing and gave me confidence in the fin...al product. Moreover, we had a relatively tight deadline to get it completed and it was met with time to spare. This was the first time I worked with Mr. Ercolani, and I fully intend to use him for future legal work.

"I endorse Russ Ercolani enthusiastically and without reservation. Russ is an exceptional attorney; he is extremely knowledgeable about bankruptcy as well as civil litigation, particularly business disputes and personal injury. As importantly, Mr. Ercolani is fiercely devoted to his clients and represents their interests with passion and determination. Russ provides the kind of sophisticated representation that is usually only available to those who can pay large firm legal fees at a very reasonable rate. I would not hesitate for a moment to recommend him to anyone seeking representation."
