Once you work with Kelly you'll never work with another attorney. She has helped us buy and sell 2 homes, so we can speak as buyers and as sellers. She knows the intricacies of the law and not afraid to speak up on your behalf. She always has our best interest in mind throughout the entire process and executes with professionalism. She's also always available for questions, so you never feel like you're in the dark. I recommend Kelly with confidence!

When I was looking to hire an attorney for my closing of my home, I had received Kelly's name and number from a friend. When I called her office to inquire abut fees and her services, she called me back very quickly. She was extremely professional, kind, courteous, and helpful. Kelly is diligent, well-spoken and versed in her area of expertise. She was thorough leading up to the closing, fully explaining the contracts, what I needed for closing, and was very organized, making sure that I knew what would happen and when. Every single time I called her office with a question, or emailed her, there was always a rapid response and excellent advice. Her office staff is amazing. The office itself is warm and inviting, just like Kelly. Closing went smoothly thanks to Kelly. She handled any surprises with diligence and professionalism. My experience with her was so amazing, that when I decided to sell my home and move to another location, she handled my closing once again. Kelly Dantuono is an amazing lawyer. I can't say enough positive things about her and the experience I had with her. She handles everything with incredible respect and an extremely professional approach. I would recommend her to anyone who would like to work with an intelligent and professional attorney who is clearly an asset to her profession.

After interviewing other attorneys, I was told that my case did not have any defenses. The situation seemed hopeless. John carefully analyzed my file and uncovered multiple defenses that other lawyers neglected to discover.
John's customized and unique strategies were able to get my case dismissed! When I thanked John for his help, he humbly replied, "You are welcome. I love what I do."
Aside from being a brilliant attorney, John is kind-hearted and compassionate. He went above and beyond what other lawyers would have done. He was available to answer questions and was patient when explaining the complicated details pertaining to my case. John's superior expertise and professionalism have produced a favorable outcome in my defense. I highly recommend his services.

We hired Lisa before the sale of our first house over 20 years ago and have used her for the purchase and sale of 2 houses since and have recommended her to our family members as well . I have also used Leonick Law for matters other than real estate and have always been more than satisfied with the service , detail and expertise in all of the transactions they have been hired for . Lisa is always available for any questions or concerns if they arise and handles them with professionalism.

For A foreclosure specialist ,to have the BEST chance,to save,keep or win back your home,you have to CONTACT John.His expertise in this area is unmatched.Understanding the legal ins and outs of this process,John creates a comfortable journey ,keeping you in the loop every step of the way .We purchased a brand new home 35+ years ago,after getting caught up in the 'robo signing ' foreclosures and bein g taken advantage of;banks like Country Wide who went out of biz and then Bank of America .They returned our payments .and then could not produce any of our payment or refi records from the onset,the Baum law firm asked us to release us from their foreclosure. Years later it began all over again.Fortunately the owner of one of our favorite restaurants recommended John to us.
We have been working with John for a few years. It is no easy task making this a pleasure but he has ! Believe me when i tell you many law firms ;overcharge,have limited service and are often unprepared for this procedure.We have been charged very fair rates,never extra charges for phones calls,he is ethical and kind , works with his clients ,and leaves 'no stone unturned',.
to buy his clients time, modifications,stops foreclosures or possibly win back your home.
His past experiences working on BOTH sides of foreclosures goes a long way.We are currently entering the appeal process,appealing the long island ruling.

We love our hometown.Regardless of the end result , we honestly couldn't see us having better representation than John J. Caracciolo.Take our advice ,speak to John it may make a BIG difference in your life as it has for us and others.Good luck Marc & Debra
