In my early years I heard many disturbing stories of how people lost a major part of their inheritance to City, State and Federal tax, after their parents died without having lawful protection from the tax system, and the thought of seeking a protection crossed my mind many times. But I kept postponed it to next week, next month, or next year, and year after year until I became much older and one morning I woke up with a terrible thought of how foolish it would have been If anything happened to me and left my family without protection losing half of what really belongs to them.
I spoke to a few attorneys but no one could make clear to me this complicated tax process and the fine print, until I contacted the Vishnick-McGovern-Milizio law firm and spoke with Constantina Papageorgiou who is an elder law attorney. Talking with Constantina was all clear and simple to me. She explained everything with professionalism and care. I did not hesitate.
Now I have a peace of mind knowing my hard earnings, my home and everything else are protected, and my family will get to keep everything that belongs to them.

Jonathan Roman is the absolute best real estate attorney to work with. I have sold properties with him twice and found him to be the most responsive lawyer I have ever worked with. Never once in our dealings did we doubt that he had our best interests in mind. Even with a very tight and extremely stressful deadline to deal with, he came through. Add to that how personable and friendly he is, and you have the makings of a low stress experience, and an attorney you can absolutely count on. Without hesitation, I would recommend Jonathan to anybody on Long Island looking to buy or sell a home.

I cannot recommend Jeffrey and Brad highly enough! Divorce can be an incredibly challenging and emotional process, but having the right support makes all the difference. Jeffrey, with his life coaching expertise, and Brad, with his legal knowledge, make a phenomenal team.
Their professionalism, empathy, and genuine care for ensuring that both parties feel heard and supported are truly remarkable. They go above and beyond to accommodate schedules and approach every conversation with kindness, compassion, and a level of understanding that is rare to find.
What stands out even more is their ability to share aspects of their personal journeys, which adds a comforting and human touch to the process. Their combined knowledge and experience shine through every step of the way, making a difficult situation far more manageable.
If you’re looking for divorce mediators, look no further. Jeffrey and Brad are exceptional at what they do, and you can rest assured that you’re in the absolute best hands. I am deeply grateful for their guidance and support and would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone in need.

I was being sued for a debt that I allegedly owed, but did not receive notice of the lawsuit for a long time. When contacting Emanuel the first thing he did was obtain a stipulation for an extension of time to answer to protect me from a default judgment, as he informed me that we are responding to this lawsuit very late. After obtaining that, the next thing He did was file a motion to dismiss in lieu of an answer for failure to properly serve me and because of the statute of limitations. He did such a good job with the motion to dismiss that the plaintiff decided to withdraw the complaint and agreed to allow the court to dismiss the case with prejudice, and I was informed that the plaintiff can no longer bother me. The process was very painless and Emanuel was very informative through it all.
