Estate Planning & Trusts

I first met Mr. Vito Lanuti when my father engaged his services regarding estate planning and setting up a trust. I was impressed with Vito's professionalism and the manner in which he worked with us. His counsel was invaluable. Therefore, when it came time for me to set up my own trust, I felt confi...dent in employing Vito. He has helped me navigate my situation in a wise manner. I appreciate Vito's ability to translate legalize into layman's terms and to create concrete examples to which I can relate in order to have complete understanding of the process. Additionally, Kelly has been an incredible help with sorting through all the legal documents and making the process go smoothly and easily.

Updated and organized our estate planning.

I was introduced to Mr. Lanuti by a mutual friend. We utilized Vito's expertise to update and organize our estate planning. Both of us are very pleased not only with the professional input Vito provides but also his very friendly staff particularly, Kelly.

Excellent Legal Adviser

Mr. Lanuti, known to many as Vito, came highly recommended as I sought legal help in establishing a Living Trust. Bottom line, I received excellent guidance, support and direction from Vito and his staff. Businesslike, but very personable, all of them. I feel very comfortable with the estate planni...ng portfolio developed with Vito's tutelage.

"I can certainly endorse Vito. I have known Vito directly for several years and have known him for many more by reputation. He has an excellent reputation in the community. Vito has taken the time to develop the skills and expertise to assist families in developing plans that fit their needs. He has also developed a strong expertise in aiding families as they solve the problems that might be arising because another attorney did resolve the family issues when the plan was created. Having expertise on both sides of the estate and trust fence - both planning and solving, gives Vito a wisdom that only a few attorneys will have."
