He recently helped us set up a trust and covered every possible detail and scenario. He cares about his clients and will spend as much time as necessary to help them understand what he is doing. He believes in clients for life and has current clients whose families were his clients going back as many as two generations. Mark will always deal with you personally and not hand you off to someone less knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend Grosky Law Firm for elder law.

I highly recommend the law services of Larry DeAngelus and staff: He is the best!

I provided…read morean extremely detailed multi page document with all the specifics needed to create my estate documents. I paid half of their fee upfront ($1000+). I received estate documents FULL of careless errors, sloppy work, incorrect information, misspelled names etc. I was appalled by the pathetic quality of the work. I found another attorney. Gave her the identical document with all my information and for 1/4 of the cost she returned immaculate, accurate, professional, clean precise estate documents. Ironically when I fired Lavelle & Finn I received an email from one of their staff that Marty suggested that I complete my estate docs. No kidding!!!....that was why I went to see them in the first place.

I hired Laura Gulfo to assist with the dissolution of a business partnership, with the intention of…read morebuying out my partner. My partner and I were actively disputing the value of the business, and at no point was I advised to obtain a fair market valuation, something I later learned is a critical step in this type of situation after consulting with another attorney. I ultimately signed paperwork approximately one month before the stated close date without a clear understanding of the implications of signing at that stage. This was not fully explained to me, and I did not feel I was in a position to make an informed decision. Additionally, the retainer agreement did not align with the final billing. I was billed at a rate approximately $75 per hour higher than what I understood from the agreement, $50/hour higher for a senior associate and $25/hour higher for an associate. When I emailed Mackenzie Monaco regarding this discrepancy, I was told that services had already been "discounted." However, I never signed any documentation beyond the retainer agreement indicating any adjustment to rates or discounted billing terms. The second attorney I consulted with reviewed the billing, and agreed there are discrepancies. At this point, my only recourse regarding the billing issue is to submit a complaint to the state board and pursue fee arbitration to dispute my $12,000 bill. As I did not receive what I paid for. Pursuing a malpractice claim is not feasible at this time, as it would require me to pay out of pocket for a business valuation that would no longer be a shared expense, given that I was ultimately left to exit the business by default. There was also a transition involving another attorney on the matter that I was not informed of in advance, which added to the confusion during an already stressful process. Overall, I did not feel adequately guided through a complex situation. Based on my experience, I would not recommend this firm for business buyout matters involving disputed valuation.

There was only one thing left for her to do for us and that was to make an amendment to our will. It was supposed to be done mid August. Late Sept. we realized we never heard from her. I emailed her twice , then I called her twice, I stopped in her office to see if I could catch her in, unfortunately she was out that day. I left my name and phone numbers (it is now early November) still no response. Of course, we paid her in full. We had to hire another attorney and had him look over the documents she created. We had our home put in trust but she never had this recorded with the county we live in nor did she explain that was something we had to do, so the house was not protected. She said Medicaid could not touch our retirement funds, so we thought they were protected, but she never explained that they would have to be spent down before Medicaid would step in. In the end she did us a favor by not returning our call, we found the right attorney who explained all this to us and what we had to do to protect ALL our assets.
