Hired Atty DeChello to probate 3 estates. They were not easy, there were many twists and problems, and she worked her way through, keeping me advised at every move, watching for my best interest and did an excellent job. She was beyond pleasant, knowledgeable, and kept me grounded during a very horrendous period in my life. Could not have anyone better.

My husband and I consulted with Attorney DeChello after signing a contract for a condominium in a complex that was starting it's second phase of construction. Although we thought we were pretty clear on the contract we decided to seek professional advice. Attorney DeChello was very thorough in her review of the contract and was instrumental in helping us understand the wording of the contract. In our situation the information provided by her allowed my husband and I to make a more informed decision not to purchase a property that may have otherwise caused us financial challenges as we did not fully comprehend the wording of the document. Attorney DeChello was unbiased and provided facts and clarification of aspects of the contract that we may have otherwise dismissed as "not important", she paid attention to every detail of the document. I would highly recommend her to friends and will employ her services when we do decide to purchase another property.

I had a wonderful experience with Alana. She always took the time to make sure that I had a thorough understanding of my estate. She was pleasant and thoughtful. My case was completed in a timely manner without any misunderstandings.During one of the most challenging times of my life, Alana remained pleasant and patient even when I appeared stressed and intolerant.

We hired Alana to help us with the closing process for the new condo. She was very committed and professional from day one. She was in contact with the bank agent, and the whole process went fast to the end. Thank you, Alana. Maria & Robert

Alana has worked with my husband an I on multiple occasions over the past few years - including estate planning and a very complicated refinance. Just when we thought we couldn't take on any more runaround and setbacks from the bank, Alana stepped in on our behalf and was able to push things forward very professionally and advocate for us, ultimately getting the job done. She was there for us when we needed her the most, and we are convinced that if not for her hard work and professionalism, the road to closing would have been much more painful and drawn out. We look forward to turning to her for all our legal work in the future!

Alana is very informative, available, and a pleasure to work with. She handled my house closing, living wills for my parents, my own will, and even took time out of her busy schedule to meet with my clinical team in my office regarding elder planning. She always answered my questions/concerns in a timely manner. I would highly recommend... you will not be disappointed!

Alana represented us for the closing of our first home. Alana was knowledgable and professional. She not only advocated for us, she was accommodating in every way and made a nerve wrecking process exciting and enjoyable!!!

Worked to get a closing and a very tight deadline, she worked endlessly and answered all my questions day or night, She even assisted with the other party to ensure we could close when needed. I had issues come up that I had no idea how to resolve from a previous sale, she would just point me in the right direction so I could also do my part to get everything needed for this transaction, I was happy to have her on my side.

Alana handled a very contentious real estate situation with expertise and sound advice. We highly recommend her for all legal issues.

Alana DeChello is a woman of integrity. She is personable, professional and had made it possible for me to feel comfortable and confident during a time I needed it most. She showed commitment to my case from beginning to end. She was truly great to work with. Alana knows Connecticut Law and stands up for her clients. Most impressively Alana keeps you informed the entire time and is thoroughly informative as to where you are in the process and what comes next. She exemplifies impeccable ethics and an unparalleled work ethic which make her an outstanding attorney who is capable, meticulous, and diligent. She is a straight-talker who will not tell you what you want to hear, but what you need to know. I would highly recommend Alana DeChello to anyone looking for a skilled attorney in the New Haven area.

We found the DeChello Law Firm on the internet and decided to contact them for estate work since they were in close proximity to where we lived. I had just retired after working 47 years for a large law firm, so I knew how lawyers handled clients. Meeting with Alana was delightful. She always had a smile, always engaged in conversation about our personal life, but most important, she definitely knew the answers to every question I posed with regarding to setting up our estate plan. She always returned calls and responded to e-mails quickly. She developed an estate plan for us that we felt secure with knowing matters would be taken care of after we were gone. A couple months after wrapping up working on our estate plan, our daughter bought her first home -- a HUD property -- and Alana handled everything so professionally and took all the pressure away from what was at times a stressful process. I have referred Alana to other people, one of which I know has engaged her services. We couldn't ask for a better attorney to handle our affairs. We are comfortable knowing she will be there for us whenever we need legal advice. She is a true asset to the legal profession.

Alana is a friendly and knowledgeable lawyer who is responsive. Would recommend!
